OVERALL, MY TEXAS TRIP WAS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME! I WILL WRITE MORE ANOTHER TIME, MAYBE, BUT NOW IT'S...BACK TO WORK! SO THANKFUL FOR AN AMAZING TRIP WITH COOL GALS.
reason i'm not writing about the trip is because i have too much going on right now, the trip was great...but i have to get on with my life here & work & dreams here. Lots of wonderful memories, but NO TIME to write about it...and i already did on facebook while posting pics. I'm so done writing about the trip as it feels a chore right now with everything else i'm doing!
I'm happy...and def back to the real world over here :) Trip was WELL WORTH IT!

Yay low cal ice cream for breakfast is a great idea :)
Good luck with finding your balance. Is something I've been thinking about for further in the future - I know overeating and I know being very careful but the balance thing? I don't envy people who are underweight but I sometimes envy people whose weight stays the same and they stay happy with it (regardless of what that weight is) - ditto activity levels, being involved in things etc.
Sounds like you have some awesome restaurants near you :)
More power to you, lovely person xx
