I am currently doing the GetFit21 diet so the original recipe for this was found on the GetFit21 app. Below is my version that I formed to make my own. 

Ingredients:
3lbs pork shoulder
15oz can diced tomatoes
1tbsp garlic powder
3tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 lime
1tsp cumin
1/2tsp paprika
1/2tsp chili powder


Put all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook for high six hours or low eight hours. **Super easy recipe**


Once it is done, you can put the carnita meat in a taco, burrito, or eat by itself. Enjoy!

Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
