So last night Derek and I went on a date night! We went out to dinner at Gigilo's Italian Bistro in Manhattan. We got a half price giftcard from a local radio station. I found the food good, better than Olive Garden, and the prices were good. Dish prices were about like Olive Garden and we got a whole bottle of wine for $22, yum! I order a specialty dish that had spinach, asparagus, grilled chicken, and tomatoes in a lemon sauce. It was like they knew I was coming and put all my favorite things together! After that we went and saw Inception. That was the first movie we went to in over a year, and it was a good choice. We both enjoyed the movie and would probably see it again as it could get a bit confusing.
Also last night I finally get Derek to agree I could diet, so I am officially attempting to diet. I've never done it before so we shall see how it goes. Derek apparently likes me to weigh more, but I convinced him he would still like me if I lost a little bit of weight! So today we went and bought a scale so I can actually know how much I weigh. What I plan on doing to lose some weight: walking or biking every day (we already do most days but sometimes skip it), portion control (no seconds and watch what I put on my plate the first time), keep Derek from baking me good things, no food after 8:30pm, and not eating snacks people bring into work (they bring in cookies and donuts far too often).
We also went to City Pool today for the first time! We decided to bike there, it is only 3ish miles, I really shouldn't have said only, I did really good except at the end going uphill! It was a bit hot on the way there but getting in the pool felt great. We did all the slides, the lazy river, and hung out in the large pool. When we first got there it was pretty busy but by the time we left it was much better. On the way home we decided to stop at Subs-n-Such which makes some pretty tasty subs.
Tomorrow we are going to go to Peace Lutheran Church, it is a church we found that we have been enjoying and hopefully we keep liking it because it like about a block from our house and a great size and has beautiful stained glass windows.
