Achy & Tired But Ate Great! :)

for some reason, my pain increased a little this weekend & im just so tired!  i think my vague is related to my pain, but it typically doesnt make me this exhausted.  luckily, i didnt turn to food for comfort or to keep me awake.  i will admit, it was tempting, but after having pizza tonight, i am happy that i didnt give in all weekend long.  im sure i would feel bloated & "heavy" if i gave in to my cravings.  i also had some great meals this weekend which helped me get over the thoughts of shrimp in garlic sauce, fried rice, & a shrimp roll! :)

i usually use ground beef or turkey meat in enchiladas which makes them a really nice size, but since i used langostino tails, they were not as sizable.  however, they were delicious!
