Back to Keeping Track

Keeping track of calories and what I'm eating every day is soooo boring, but clearly it works.  I haven't been keeping track for about a week and it shows.  I was binging and I gained 4 pounds.  :/  I ate a lot of fried junk, pizza and candy and not only did the scale show it, but the way my clothes fit and the way my skin felt showed it too.  I've noticed that when I'm keeping track, I make better choices.  So...back to tracking, I guess.

Ben has been army crawling for about a month now and recently he has started crawling on all fours.  I think he realized that he can get places a lot faster if he uses his legs, rather than drag them behind him.  He has also discovered that there are more rooms in the house besides the dining room and the living room.  Clearly it was time to get out the baby gates. 

It's almost sad.  :(

Every other weekend, my mom takes the boys for an overnight visit and we try to take advantage of our kid-less night by having a date night.  We usually go out to dinner, go visit friends we haven't seen for awhile or stay home and watch movies or play video games.  Tonight we decided to eat at the new burger place again and as usual, our service was wonderful and our food was filling.  We've heard so many bad things about the service (slow, 2 hour long wait) and the food (still bleeding in the middle) but we've been lucky the two times we've been there.  It was pretty busy and we still got our food within a few minutes of ordering and it was hot and fresh.  It probably helped that we ordered the same thing.

After dinner, we were headed downtown when I realized that The Hunger Games was at the theater.  I really want to see it, but it had already started.  Maybe next time.

YOUR TURN: What do you think of The Hunger Games? I'm not going to lie - I have no idea what the big deal about this movie is.  I happened to see the previews when we saw Breaking Dawn in the theater and I thought it looked like my kind of movie.  Then, the closer that opening day came, my Facebook feed blew up about it, along with some of the blogs I read.  I didn't even realize it was originally a book until someone mentioned on Facebook that they had just finished reading it again.  Then I saw a preview again and realized that I had wanted to see it the first time I'd seen a preview.  And I still do.  But I still don't get the hype.  LOL  I should really read the book, I guess.  :)
