I spend a minimum of eight hours a day on the road. Naturally, this is an obstacle when you're being very strict in your diet and trying to eat lean. In order to combat this, I have to have things in…

First Attempt At Water Colors

I've been on a bit of an art hiatus, and by hiatus I mean 16 years. There was a bit of a death in the family that created a block for me, and prior to that, I was quite the drawer. That being said, m…

Lean Eats: Diner Edition - Egg White Avocado Omelette

Once again at Buzzbrews, and once again it's breakfast time. Hell of a lot of carbs this time, but this is somewhat of a reward for too much cardio and lifting. This was delicious. Egg whites stuffed…

Wood Sculpting, Goat Meat, And Cats: Agadir, Morocco

Lean Eats - Diner Edition: Salmon And Eggwhites

I tend to eat breakfast at Buzzbrews in Deep Ellum pretty often if I'm not cooking it myself. I really love this diner for a few reasons. It's 24 hours and it has something for me during any regimen…

Last Night's Valentine Dinner: New York Strip Edition
