Have you ever caught a whiff of a really tasty restaurant’s food as you’re driving by? The smell is so fragrant and tantalizing, that it continues to permeate your nostrils for the next ten minutes. Imagine now, how incredibly hungry you are and that this restaurant would be the perfect fix to your current ailment. You visualize your plate. It contains only the tastiest of tastiness. Your mouth waters as you see the homemade rolls with cinnamon honey butter, a loaded baked potato, a SECOND helping of buttered rolls, maybe a salad, a good steak and some green beans. And, if you’re lucky, you can partake in the delightfulness that is a brownie sundae for dessert. Nothing but the best. Then, as you are just about to act on that impulse, to whiz your little car into the parking lot, march right in, shove someone out of the way and take their table, you remember……
You’re trying to eat healthy.
CURSE YOU TEXAS ROADHOUSE!?%#$*@!!!
This has been my plight for the last four months. You see, in January I made a New Year’s resolution (Gag!) to have a healthier lifestyle. I have succeeded for the most part by joining a Pilates class, going to the gym at least 3 times a week, eating way more salad, and way LESS homemade dinner rolls with cinnamon honey butter. BUT when I made this blasted resolution, I did not see a major ‘road’block on my way to the gym. That ‘road’block will forever be known as Texas Roadhouse. The gym I go to is only a 30 second car ride from my house, which is great! But what is NOT great is that the tastiness that is Texas Roadhouse stands in between my house and my gym. It is incredibly hard to leave the gym exhausted and hungry and not go and gorge oneself on the dishes mentioned above. Must you torture me like this, ‘road’block?! If only it were as easy as driving by with the windows up. I just can’t do that. I always drive by, windows down, getting high on the aroma of all things that are good. All the while imagining that I am seated at a table, and eating this delicious dinner Peter Pan style. It tastes so good, too.
I must act on this craving soon, I think it’s getting to my head.

What is this Texas Roadhouse I've been hearing about so much? Surely they have a few guiltless items on their menu, right? I'm thinking I must partake, and I'm dragging you there too. Screw you, Pilates!!
Me too! Only my roadblock isn't Texas Roadhouse because we don't have that here. It's Casper and Gambinis, and Macaroni Grill, and Hard Rock, and... well... you get the point.
yes! we will totally need to meet in person! These next few weeks are going to be awful, but we should definitely catch up sometime!
