Some salt and garlic powder and..bam. It was creamy, garlicky and noodley. I did it all by eye.. I think the key was simmering down some of the…

Annual Physical
I have my annual physical on April 28th. It's a mini-goal for me weight-wise. I'm 202 now and would like to be around 195. Not a big deal, and not specifically why I'm here.

my first day of running
Today was my first day of running! I'm doing a couch to 5K, and what better day to start than today. I did 1.5 Miles of mostly running, and some walking. It was brutally difficult. A lot of big hills killed me. I ran each hill just to get it done faster. My next attempt is Friday. Hopefully soon I won't feel like heaving…

eating on the road
so, yeah.. I do a lot of traveling. Not a TON, but enough. I find that even when I eat "healthy" on the road, I still feel like I didn't eat well. Not compared to when I'm making it at home. Maybe it's the unknown of what's actually going in the food, but I never feel "good" after. Today in Houston I had a grilled…

Frozen Yogurt
I love to go to Menchie's and get NSA Fat Free Frozen Yogurt, with crushed almonds and fresh fruit on top. I maybe fooling myself, but it's a minor-guilt treat. I don't feel like I had a 5 scoop Reeces PB Cup Sunday at Friendly's. Does anyone have a reason why this treat maybe a bad idea?
