Tasted Table, In Pictures

April 6, 2012 by Kristin

Breakfast: Boiled Eggs & Green Apple

Snack: Green Smoothie

Dinner: “Sushi”

Two notable things happened tonight. First, Angela and I had plans to meet for yoga and sushi, but Austin traffic got in the way of the 7PM class so we had to improvise. We went on a 3ish mile trek through downtown, stopping at a sushi place mid-way for some dinner. Second, this was my first opportunity to test out the new Tasted Menu Austin app. The Tasted Menu folks reached out to me last week asking if I would test out their app and after doing a little research I gladly accepted. The purpose of the app is for users to rate specific dishes at a restaurant rather than the restaurant as a whole. Not only can you view the dishes that others have rated, but you can view the restaurant’s entire menu within the app. I’m really digging it so far and I think it will be a super resource as the user base grows and more feedback is given.

The Dutchess, In Pictures

Breakfast: Greek Yogurt

Lunch: Artichoke Pasta with Marinara and Parmesan

Snack: Banana Nut Odwalla Bar

Yoga!

Dinner: Spicy Veggie Dumplings with Broccoli

I received confirmation from the virtual world tonight that I’m kicking butt with regular yoga practices! I’ve been averaging about two Black Swan visits per week since I arrived in Austin and I can already tell a difference in my practice. My vinyasas are slow and strong and I can hold positions that I’ve never been able to before, like crow. Now if I can only cut down on Easter candy and baked dairy carb bombs, I just might be ready for bathing suit season!

Happy Spring!

March 25, 2012 by Kristin

As if I wasn’t already crushing hard enough on Austin, my love for this city was compounded yesterday. Matt picked me up and we headed to our friend Wade’s house to celebrate spring.

We couldn’t have driven more than three miles from my place before we started winding through hills that reminded me of the west coast.

I was giddy the second we arrived and started hiking our way down the limestone steps that led us through the greenest greens and then to the water.

We spent all day goofing around on paddle boards, listening to our favorite SXSW music discoveries, and laughing like little kids at summer camp. The day, the scenery, the people – all perfect. I have a feeling this is going to be one of the best years of my life! Happy spring!
