So, this weekend we learned some lessons. On Friday night I came home, got on the elliptical and watched the Texas Tech bowl game. I stayed on it for 30 minutes. Then I tried to cook turkey burgers on the grill but the burger meat was too soupy and the grill ended up finishing its gas. Needless to say we ended up at Chik-Fil-A for the evening. Then we came home and I watched Tech lose to a team they could easily beat. Why is it both of my teams, Tech and the Cowboys, have lost games they should have won to end the season? Anyways, no more football. Guess I'll have to wait until August.

On Saturday Holly had lunch with a friend at the Cheesecake factory. Saturday night Holly and I tried to make it a cheap date night. First there was Cici's pizza(round $13) then we went to the dollar movie($4) of course candy and water there cost $10. We could have gotten away without the candy and water so it is possible to get by on a date night for $17. The movie we saw was called the Changeling and was a true drama about a women who got the wrong kid back when hers went missing. It was actually really boring and long. The dollar theater was packed and had families taking their little kids to this R rated movie and had people speaking during the movie. I got a sense I was surrounded by the dregs of society. Holly said some guy sitting next to her was talking to himself and kept on looking down the aisle. But the movie is $2 a ticket. You get what you pay for. Later that evening we watched Star Wars IV at home with a RiffTrax. Peetey is going to have quiz Holly on what she learned.

Sunday afternoon we went to church and then to lunch with friends at Taco Cabana(round $15). Then we went to my first and last weight watchers meeting. I felt sorry for the people in there. About 90% of them look completely normal and don't need to be obsessed about their weight, as most people in there are. Naturally it was 90% women. I actually look like I need to be in there, they don't. My problem is I don't have as much concern for my outside appearance. I think my self-worth comes from what I do and not what I look like. Holly is taking the recipes. I think maybe she is going to attempt to cook them. Afterwards we went grocery shopping for the week and I ended up having hot dogs for dinner.

Can you guess the lessons learned? We learned that it is almost impossible not to eat out on the weekends. I think we both hit a point in our careers where we were thrilled not look at the price of menu items and we accepted eating out as the best thing to do in Dallas. The problem is menu choices. I always choose good tasting food like hamburgers and pizza. If I was at home I would make lean meat hamburgers and have turkey dogs. During the week I do well on my diet, except for guys night. So I know the problem. Now I just have to come up with a solution.

Weight - not available
Exercise - 30 minutes elliptical on Friday
