Week 3: King Cake, Tamales, and Water Oh My

Getting to the gym has proven to be hard work. I am eating much better, though my best friend did make a King Cake yesterday. Also spent a good bit of time at the Ink Spot Farewell party, I will miss those guys and gal (shout out to Walker's Drive-In for the fantastic Tamale casserole). This summer is much more hectic than I expected and I'm trying to manage my time better than I have in the past. I'm hoping for some suggestions or tips on that (anyone?). Drinking water is getting harder, I've been thinking about getting the Crystal Lite drink mix but I feel like that's cheating.
