Nice birthday. After dinner, we went to the movies and saw Casanova. It was good! The middle dragged a bit, but overall, I was pleasantly surprised.

There, I’m done being a movie critic. But I have to say, it was kind of fun stuffing myself with carbs (Smarties, Crunchie bar, popcorn, non-diet soda – dear god, when was the last time I drank a non-diet soda? But blame the movie theater for not offering non-diet, non-caffienated beverages that you can get with your “free small drink” coupon.)

Day 1 of South Beach Diet.

I wasn’t very prepared for breakfast or lunch today, since I wasn’t home last night to fix anything, but I managed to whip up a portobello mushroom and turkey bacon omelette. It tasted pretty good, but boy did I want toast with it! I have some deli meat and cheese and almonds for lunch – clearly, I need to go shopping for some fresh vegetables. After work. Promise.

The most depressing part of the morning was weighing myself. Argh. But I must be honest, so I’ll post it over on the right.
