What would I do without Carbs?

I seriously don’t know what I would do without carbs. I even eat bread and pasta for Passover. Back in high school, I played soccer and ran track, so these sports were excuse enough for my high-carb diet. My running coach even told me to eat a big plate of pasta the night before a meet. Coach’s orders, right?

Well now that I am in college, I don’t partake in any sports though I really should since I really enjoy them. Also, roughly 60% of the student body here at Amherst is on a sports team. To get physical activity, I either go to the gym or run outside on the trails. (I prefer running outside, but I currently put this on hold now that there is snow on the ground).

Today I went to the gym, so I didn’t feel too guilty when I downed a heaping plate of very tasty tortellini with bolognese sauce for dinner. Maybe next time, I will be inspired by my photo (shown above) and put vegetables on my pasta to attempt pasta primavera. I am making tiny steps to try and be healthier in college.
