It’s been a decent weekend. Right now I’m sitting down in the kitchen and enjoying a drink while waiting on dinner. I’m also writing this post using my cell phone, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I have to go back and correct some typos…
I did weigh myself on Friday morning. I ended up being down two pounds. So, right now, I’m at 231 pounds. I’ve got the rest of the year to go to lose the other 31 pounds and reach my goal. I’ve already noticed the changes in me, as have others. I’m feeling better for it, too. :-)
As mentioned before, the parents and I went to Matsu for dinner on Friday. We’ve since decided that the place is not what we would consider a “have-again”. Don’t get me wrong; the sushi at Matsu was excellent. Unfortunately, it was also rather high-priced. I had a combo of six California roll pieces and seven pieces of sushi for $19. I could get more for that price from somewhere like Tokyo City. I’ll have to keep that in mind for future reference…
Last night was the fun night. :-) Becky and Brian had another of their movie nights. Seeing as sushi is relatively healthy, I decided last night would be my splurge meal and went to Bennigan’s first for supper. Unfortuntely, they had done away with their “three-for” promotion where you could get an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert for $13. I settled for my usual John Bacon’s burger and a brownie bottom pie. After eating at Bennigan’s, I went over to Barnes & Noble and browsed for a bit. From there, when the time came, I went to movie night.
I hadn’t known until I got there what the theme of the night was going to be. Unsurprisingly, the theme was Indiana Jones. Once everyone that was coming arrived, we started watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. After that movie was over, most people left, leaving only me, Becky and Brian, Sean and Jinny, and Paolo. For that reason (and because Brian was suffering from Indiana Jones burnout), we watched Better Off Dead as the second movie. Believe it or not, I had not seen the movie all the way through before then. When the movie was done, we talked to a bit and then all headed home.
As for today, I haven’t done too much except to do some vacuuming. Today will be a busy week at work, so I’m relaxing as much as I can. I’m enjoying a drink, and dinner will be served soon, so I’m happy for now. We’ll just see how the rest of the week treats me.
