I've realized I haven't cooked a meal in a very long time at my apartment.  My fridge is completely empty except for water, beer, milk, and orange juice.  Anyone else around here eat out alot?  No worries, I'm 5'10 and 180-185, with normal blood pressure lol.  I could probably lose a bit more, but since I walk everywhere and do intense bike workouts, I keep the weight off.

 

Awihle back, I created a roster of food places within a 5 minute walk of my office.  This came out of another thread where you can draw a box on yelp to tell you all the restaurants in your area.  Feel free to share yours.

Eh, now I gotta figure out what to eat tomorrow.

 

^we eat out once maybe twice a week max.  Cooking is learned and it is fun.  You also know the ingredients you are putting in your body and you save alot of money. 

I like to eat lunch down at the Y.

My mind definitely went somewhere else with that subject line:-)

I've been meaning to cook more, but (1) I suck at cooking, (2) I hate to do dishes and don't have a dishwasher, (3) I have night class 3 days a week, (4) there are a million takeout/delivery places in my neighborhood.  So I almost all of my meals are bought or leftovers. :/

I bring my lunch to work most days, but for dinner my wife and I eat out at least 4 times a week.  It's out to a bar or restaurant every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and usually some take out one night a week.  And, shockingly, we've actually both lost weight since this trend started about 2 years ago.
