Weighed the same as yesterday. Trying to stay positive, and my mom was really helpful, noting that it seems that my body often loses weight slowly but suddenly, like a week of eating clean and I’ll suddenly be 5 pounds lighter, not gradually over the course of the week. So if I don’t lose any…

Tamale Tamale Tamale
I tweeted a lot about these babies, and external sources have confirmed: TAMALES ARE AWESOME!! Particularly these tamales. That I made. These are my 3 flavors.

Intermittent Fasting or (gasp!) Not Eating Breakfast
Like many CrossFitters, I intermittent fast fairly frequently. Most mornings, I fast. Call it intermittent fasting, the 8-hour diet, whatever. For me, it’s what feels natural. Stop eating at 9pm the night before, fast until 1pm the following day (these hours aren’t set in stone). I’ve never liked breakfast foods, so I don’t miss that, and…

Awww, sweet Dishola deal – donate food with minimal effort
Aside from clicking that bowl of rice that donates to starving children in Asia (it took me awhile to find this link again, where you donate rice for every vocab word you know … pretty awesome), I don’t know of many easier ways to donate food to those in need than this: Dishola (plus Whole…
El Chilito is now downtown!
I had a friend who used to live near the original El Chilito (the taco-stand version of El Chile) on Manor Road and she used to talk almost incessantly about how good El Chilito was, and how she lived off their tacos in college. So when I found out that El Chilito Numero Dos is…
