This is what is going to kill me. Eating out in restaurants. When I was a kid it was pretty much a treat to go out. We didn't go out that often. Now, eating out is more of a convenience thing. When my family is in Charlottesville for other activities (we live 30 miles away) we always seem to drift into a meal time and end up eating in a restaurant. However; I am still in treat mode and think once I step foot in a restaurant I can have anything I want.
Tonight I am meeting a few friends, including my thin, in-shape friend. I will watch how she orders! We are going to Guadalajara's a local Mexican restaurant. I have been there with a pescetarian who ordered fish tacos which looked fabulous. That's what I am ordering as of now, we'll see what happens. Wish me luck. Of course all of this is somewhat fruitless since I am still eating all the Christmas goodies, but I'm laying the foundation...
As a side note here are Runner's World's top foods for 2011:

If you find out what cacao sweet nibs are let me know!
so what did you end up ordering????
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while but I have had cacao sweet nibs before. If I recall they are tiny little morsels that taste sweet, kind of like chocolate but not as satisfying. I had them at a friend's house so I couldn't tell you where to get them but my guess is whole foods.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this blog!
