almonds

was way too snack today. I seriously cannot WAIT until I can go home and cook for myself! I think most of the foods I have eaten have been delicious but too starch filled (make me feel guilty), too sugary (gives me a sugar crash), and in much smaller portions than I am used too (I guess this is my fault - I'm used to virtually unlimited access to veggies).

Exercise: walking around Universal?

Happy Bday Heidi :)

went to Italian b/c that’s the only thing good closeby. unfortunately, my pasta dish wasn’t as it was described - only 2 pcs of veal and some pretty flavorless spaghetti. a pitiful sprinkling of mushrooms. a bunch of empty empty carbs. and it wasn’t even that good….

maybe the only redeeming factor was that the portion was quite small.
