Tonight’s dinner was courtesy of Patrick’s mom and a Restaurant.com coupon. Sorry, no pictures because I feel kind of weird taking pictures of food at a really nice restaurant. I’m kind of afraid the people there will think I’m some poor child who has never had a 40 dollar dinner before. Also because the lighting [...]


My roommate Christie loves Round Rock donuts, enough to drive 40 minutes there and back random Sunday mornings to get fresh, warm donuts. She was kind and thoughtful enough to bring back a box and a bag of holes to share. Prior to that day, I don’t think I’ve ever had an RR (getting lazy [...]

Ok… I hate to admit this, but I think my undying love for Fresca has died out. Maybe I just need a break. I think the fake sweetness has finally got to me. My replacement has been lime Perrier; a more pricey choice, but definitely worth it, thus far at least. You just can’t beat [...]


I’ve read quite a few articles/blogs raving about the La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas and finally decided to shell out the 4 dollars for a pack (10). The nutrition is absurdly great: 50 calories per tortilla, 8 grams of fiber! Eight grams is ridiculously high. Ok… but these 8 grams of fiber plus whatever [...]


Once again, the HEB closest to school ran out of Kashi Cherry Dark Chocolate, and I was forced to find a substitute. (I went to Walmart tonight though and stocked up on Kashi.) I chose the Curves bar because a) I was curious/skeptical b) most of the other options I had either tried and felt [...]


A trip to Costco landed me a box of Gardenburgers. I started eating veggie patties because I never really liked hamburgers. I started ordering turkey burgers at restaurants but couldn’t find them in any frozen form at HEB, so I settled for veggie ones instead. I started with Boca burgers but after a while [...]

Alright, out of the entire city of Dallas, this is what I’ve decided to write about. I’ve been to Dallas a few times to visit my friend at SMU, but this was the first time I’ve seen the city for what it was, rather than being protected and under the guidance of Laura. And I [...]


I’ve had to take a hiatus on blogging, due to school owning my life for a while, and then came spring break, which meant going home and grazing all day long, on nothing in particular, and yet managing to go straight to my gut.

In the last few weeks, I’ve been making cookies, each slightly different [...]

I made the mistake today of eating no substantial carbs at lunch or dinner. I had cereal in the morning but then only had a Kashi granola bar and half of a Pumpkin Spice Clif bar all day. I had plenty of fruits, but I don’t count them as real carbs. So inevitably after [...]
