    I've been bored with food lately, so eating more ethnic things, just for a change of pace. I did pretty good at Outback, I think. And the jelly beans at the movie were 160 calories, as opposed to 800 calories on popcorn, so not a bad compromise. And I love my digital scale. I weigh things fanatically now, it's so funny.
