Smoothies Don’t Count!

I don’t want to be too presumptuous at 1:55 in the afternoon, but I have not been to any form of drive through today. I did go for a smoothie after my workout, because I’m out of banannas and chocolate soymilk. Typically I would make them myself with Whey Protein after working out to give [...]

Fast Food Exile

While I had a successful day the other day, yesterday was a bit of a wash. I was on the road quite a bit going to a bunch of schools for construction repair evaluations. It was not really planned to be out for so long. I had no real plan for when my hunger made [...]

Things have been tough. I imagine that if you are one of the ten readers, who read this thing, you know that since I haven’t written anything in quite sometime, I’ve been in that downward spiral I have mentioned before. Well, today was different. I managed to get through the day without going to the [...]

In the Bag

I really just have to begin by saying that it is a beautiful Fall day here in Austin. I am outside on my laptop with all of our animals enjoying this cool day in the backyard. We had a rain storm pass by in the middle of the night that dropped half an inch on [...]

What’s the real truth about High Fructose Corn Syrup?

I will start this off by saying that I don’t care if High Fructose Corn Syrup is a poison or a relatively safe food product. I have generally tried to shy away from HFCS,(although that is very difficult to do when I have eaten as many Combo #1’s as I have), but the real issue [...]

Is treating yourself a bad thing?

I had this banging interview today to do some contract project managment for the local school district today. It has been a long time since I have felt like I have been taken seriously in Architecture. In some respects I feel like a cast-off as a result of the way I approached my Architectural career, [...]

Why I will not use Google Adsense on this site

I have no problem making this site monetized, I don’t even have a problem making it known that I monetize the site. It would be nice to make a few bucks for my writing and candor. The problem is finding the right way to monetize while maintaining integrity and upholding the values on which I [...]

The Cyclical Nature of Fast Food and Depression

I thought I would elaborate some on depression, from my last post, and discuss the cyclical nature, or to be more precise, the spiraling nature of fast food and it’s roll in depression.
I’m sure we’ve all been down before, whether that be from a breakup, or losing a job, or a death in the family. [...]

My Story - Part 2 of 3

After high school and into the  little college I attended, and subsequently into my professional career in Architecture, I moved out and rarely cooked. Instead I would do the easy thing and go to Burger King or the local taco shop for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
At my first office I would often stop by a [...]

The Financial Impact of Eating Fast Food

I’ve recently found myself pretty obsessed with personal finance. Coming to the realization that in order to get out of debt I was going to have to make some drastic changes. Through my “Money Makeover” I’ve found a pretty remarkable personal finance tool called Mint.
It takes all your online accounts and provides you a quick [...]

My Story - Part 1 of 3

I’m sure my story is quite like most. When I was about 5 or 6 we went to McDonalds for the first time, and was wow’d by the colors, and the playground, and the good tasty food. The Big Mac was my favorite. By the time I was 15 the Chicken Nuggets had taken reign [...]

The Beginning …Sort of

The idea began with a roast beef sandwich and a jamocha shake at Arbys. I had just got done swimming at the gym and really wanted a smoothy to replenish the energy I expended, but there were no smoothy places around. I figured that the protein from the sandwich would help and made a choice [...]
