Changing Where I Hang Out

This used to be my favorite place to go.  I would go several times a week.  It has a great table outside, in the shade that was a perfect place to work or read.  And, very importantly, you could get unlimited refills on tea.  Problem was that everything on the menu was pretty much high calorie.  Even when I did extensive research on the nutrition site ( while I was waiting in line to order), nothing that I liked was low calorie.  Plus, it was always hard to resist the chips and salsa.

Almost 2 months ago I went to a sports nutritionists and she changed what I eat.  She  teaches athletes (or wanna be athletes) how to fuel their bodies, (or not gain weight while training for a marathon)

I found a  healthy satisfying meal I could get here. 

-a side salad, fat free honey mustard dressing, and 6 nuggets. I go here at least 3 times per week.

And recently,  I went here.  

I can get anything in a bowl, all the veggies I like, guacamole, and salsa.  No rice or beans. Note about the guac - it costs $2, so it may not be worth it.  Also, share the chips with someone.  They are slightly lime flavored and if you can limit yourself to 5 or 6 it is good.  The whole bag is over 500 calories, so be careful and count out a few and give the rest away.

You already know about what I get here.

Now, none of these places have a great outside table in the shade, but they do have free refills.

I miss you Rosa. I may have to go by and just get your unlimited refill tea.
