So. . . the movie theater is next door to the Chinese buffet and that’s where Kathy wanted to go, so we went and I actually managed to eat only sushi and vegetables, 1 helping, very reasonable.  I’m proud of staying on plan in the face of such a ridiculous temptation (coconut shrimp, buttered crab legs, lo mein, baked oysters with cream and cheese, oh my!) and am now watching one of my favorite horror movies with Noah (to make up for the fact that we didn’t see The Haunting in Connecticut, but rather I Love You Man, a very sweet romantic comedy), drinking tons of water. Today was a good day- nice to be back on the work routine with Noah, we got a ton of work done on our most pressing clients site and got a good start on another one.  I feel like myself completely today, sprang out of bed with vigor and all that- glad to have signed up for the weekly challenge.  I don’t really keep track of exercise minutes during the week, so it will be nice to have a mini-goal and also a reminder to drink more water.  I’m going to focus most on the food thing, because I think that will be the hardest part.
