I ate far too many meals out this week, but most of the time I used my calories wisely. Above is the exception. The photo was taken of my chicken & waffle (no bacon) lunch at Inspiration Kitchen<\/a>. Chicagoans, take note: this is not only a place to get a delicious meal, but by dining there, you are supporting a wonderful cause. I got to witness another awesome cause in action right before my co-workers and I ate lunch there: Fresh Moves<\/a>. Fresh Moves is a converted CTA bus that serves as a mobile produce market that goes from food desert to food desert, supplying affordable vegetables where there are none available. My birthday is coming up on 5\/10. I don’t want anything for my birthday, but if you want to spend money on me, please donate to Fresh Moves here<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n

This week, my friend Brandy said goodbye to the midwest and headed down to San Antonio for a new job that sounds perfect for her. It seems like a mass exodus is happening with friends\/acquaintances leaving the Chicago-area. Everyone has good reasons, but what a bummer!<\/p>\n

I am once again at my lowest weight. I swear to you, if you want to lose weight, My Fitness Pal<\/a>, helps so much! Holding myself accountable is what has really worked for me. Also, having my friends egg me on has been motivational.<\/p>\n

Also of note: We went to see our friend Derek’s theatre company, Chicago dell’Arte<\/a> perform Comm-80s-a. A very fun and short show if you loved 80’s movies and well-choreographed dance numbers!<\/p>\n

Films watched 17th week of the year:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anna
\nCandyman: The David Klein Story*
\nEdie & Thea: A Very Long Engagement*
\nLeaves of Grass
\nColombiana<\/p>\n

*documentary<\/p>\n

This week there was only one dud and it was Leaves of Grass<\/em>. Every other movie was fulfilling and worthwhile in different ways. Edie & Thea: A Very Long Engagement<\/em> was the clear winner this week. Seeing people so genuinely in love makes me so happy. I bawled my eyes out. Anyone who believes that being gay is a “choice” should see this movie. It is rare that I see straight people love one another the way that Edie & Thea do in this documentary. If you like food history, then you should see Candyman: The David Klein Story<\/em>. David Klein got the short end of the Jelly Belly. Zachary and I went to the Jelly Belly factory in WI and they literally had written him out of their history on the tour we went on. David Klein has a new gourmet line of jelly beans here<\/a> if you’d like to support the real genius with the jelly belly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
