Day 6 - Valentines Night Out

Last night, to celebrate Cupid Day, My Valentine and I decided to go see "Friday The Thirteenth" (Our first Date was to see "Freddy vs. Jason" six years ago, so we considered this to be "romantic" ). I had a little stress earlier in the day about how uncomfortable I might be in the "POPCORN and CANDY Den" that is our local theatre. Turns out, we were running late, so we packed up our dinner (chicken breast on a bed of veggies), stuffed it in our backpacks with bottles of water, and off we went to the show. IT WAS GREAT!! (The dinner, not the movie ). I didn't miss popcorn and milk-duds at all....I mean, NOT AT ALL. My better half got a diet coke, and I had a few sips, but....YUCK. Sorry, that stuff just isn't for me. Water was fine...better than fine.

The only thing that made me uncomfortable was having to pee like a racehorse!!!! Since starting phase 1 almost a week ago, I have upped my water intake 10 fold, and, well, if a catheter didn't hurt, Id probably have one installed, if you know what Im saying...

After the movie, we walked over to the bookstore, as usual. I found myself in the cookbook section instead of my usual true crime and music theory sections. Just checked out all the "healthy" books, lots of em, looking for different recipe ideas. While we were in that section, I was commenting on how the cravings really do go away after a few days. I mean, I was riding high about how cool it was to not miss the popcorn and candy. I was patting myself all over my back. THEN...my eyes glanced to a "Mrs Fields Cookies" cookbook....that unmistakable logo of hers...and BAM! My stomach did a flip-flop and I wanted a fricken cookie!!!! We laughed and walked away from that book...fast.

Gotta realize rome wasn't built in a day
