I went to the grocery store the other night and restocked on healthy food. It's surprisingly expensive to eat well. I mean, I'm buying fresh veggies and frozen chicken, and then actually eating them (as opposed to my previous habit of buying fresh veggies and then letting them rot in my fridge while I eat out almost every meal). And then I have to go back to the store every couple of days to restock. I've never eaten like this before.

One of the things I bought at the grocery store, which I will never buy again, was Oreo Thin Crisps. I had heard about these from bloggers doing WW, as a perfect 2-point snack. It even says across the top of the box, in bigger letters than the name Oreo, 100 Calorie Packs! Basically, they are chocolate-flavored crackers, in little one serving packages. If you aren't expecting them to taste like (or even remind you of) Oreos, they aren't bad, once you get over the fact that you are eating chocolate crackers. But for 2 points, they aren't that tasty or filling. I'd much rather have 3 Hersheys Kisses if I want something sweet and/or chocolatey, or some fruit or carrot sticks if I'm actually hungry and want something to munch on.

Hey, do you want to help me right an injustice? WW has all kinds of books and website guides to eating out, which contain the menus of chain restaurants and the nutritional information and/or points values of the food. I don't eat at chain restaurants if I can help it, so these lists are not good to me. I would like, however, the nutritional information for one of my favorite Austin-based restaurants, namely, Chuys. They have great enchiladas. I don't know how to eat them now, though, because I have no idea how to count them. I guess I could still eat there, and just order fajitas or salad or something where I can control exactly what goes into my mouth, but man, I love those enchiladas. I tried emailing and asking them nicely if they could make the nutritional info available, but I got a curt "No" in response. So, if you could, please send an email to hey (at) chuys.com and ask them to make the nutritional info for their menu available on their website. Let me know what kind of response you get in the comments. And, if you have any email requests you'd like me to make on your behalf, I'd be happy to.
