Pretty lazy weekend, well, except for the running. Friday night was dinner at Ichibon with Jose, Nick, Heather, Melissa and Kelly. I got a drink in a ninja cup! Very exciting. On Saturday while flipping channels, we came across a “Band of Brothers” marathon on the History Channel. Five episodes on Saturday, the remaining five on Sunday. We watched all 5 on Saturday — couldn’t turn it off. I can’t believe I never watched it before. It’s really quite engrossing. Hard to imagine people reacting with the same sense of duty and patriotism today. Of course, it’s also hard to imagine getting into a similar type of war today. We don’t fight countries anymore, we fight groups.
Anyway. Saturday night also involved a trip to Target, where we were not the only ones spending a perfectly good weekend night buying cleaning supplies — we saw Sue and her husband in the grocery area, and Melissa and Kelly at the checkout. Pretty funny.
One of my resolutions is to lose weight, which really means my resolution is to eat less and eat better. I came across a great link via Wil that shows what 200 calories looks like. Very enlightening. It’s nice to see that there are some things you can eat a lot of without suffering dire consequences.
well I’m trying to be all about staying in the Zone. I think June tries this too. Its hard for me b/c I’m not a meal planner- as in I usually decide 2 minutes before I eat what I’m going to eat- and the Zone requires quite a bit of planning ahead. I’m learning I guess.
That’s an interesting link. I’d stay away fro that 15/16ths of a donut, though. How can you not eat that last sliver?
the Zone rocks especially when youre eating out at a restaurant (not a fast food joint)…and cassie it IS easy once you get the hang of it!!!
i tried to count the cheetoes….
wow that pat of butter and slice of cheese look small. but the smarties look good. mmm. smarties.
I love Band of Brothers. I really suggest getting the DVD set because the episodes on the History channel are edited. Of course that doesn’t stop me from watching it every time it is on.
Mmmm…50,000 calories, 200 at a time.
I love Band of Brothers! In fact, we loved the series so much, we bought the DVD box set.
Everytime I look at one of these I have to remind myself that all I really need to do to cut calories is to stop being so obsessed with cheese. It is SO bad for you.
I own the Band of Brothers boxed set, if you ever want to borrow it. I love them. When my parents visited me in France, we did a little BoB tour. It was awesome, especially since it was the 60th Anniversary of D-Day and there were a lot of WWII recreators around, complete with authentic gear and vehicles.
