Exercise: Spent an hour at the YMCA today: 30 minutes on elliptical level 7, set to "random" (heart rate between 150-160.) 30 minutes resistance training using machines, upper and lower body BAM! This means I made it to the gym 5 times this week, which is pretty great.

Notes: I just found those delightful baked tostadas at Armitage Produce, and so I had to try one as soon as I got home. They are only 40 calories each with 1/3 of a gram of fat (insignificant? yes.) It was crispy and pretty good all piled up, I look forward to making some little Mexican pizzas, just like Taco Bell, except I won't have a spork to eat it with. Also, I went out to dinner tonight at Wishbone with two of my favorite professors who were on my MFA committee! A fantastic surprise to find them in town tonight. The food was good but I know those potatoes were loaded with butter and brown sugar.... eh, it was worth it. I did manage to avoid the beers at the art opening, so a pat-on-my-own back for that!
