Renee got on the Wii fit today, and it said that she weighed more than ever before! Meaning now that instead of having to lose 10 lbs to reach her goal, she must lose 11! (at least I've only gained a pound.. its still frustrating though!) She must be doing something wrong, because despite taking 2 workout classes a week, running between 1-3 miles 6 days a week, and working a very walking-oriented job, she ISN'T LOSING WEIGHT!

...maybe she should stop eating haribo gummies...

yeah, def ate too much today. what do you think of the special k diet?

------------------------

I think special k diet is not that great, cause it says eat 2 bowls of special k and then dinner, and if you're still hungry after 2 bowls of special k, you'll gorge at dinner, which is when you should eat your lightest meal. But that's just my opinion.

So yesterday, Renee's "healthy tuesday" kinda backfired. Oops! She's decided to keep track of calories for a while now! And drink 3 liters of water a day. And not eat after 7pm when she can help it! (for example, tonight she's going to Sal's Japanese Steakhouse for Jerry's birthday- at 8pm- so she will be forced to eat after 7pm, obviously.)

I allotted about 800 calories for my dinner at the hibachi grill, where I ate

-1 small salad with the orange colored dressing (what kind of dressing is that? ginger? carrott?)
-1 scoop of orange sorbet
-1 mixed drink made of sugary juices and liquors

I think it was more than 800 calories. What do you think?

I also ran 2 miles at the gym, stair stepped for 20 minutes, and elipticized for 20 minutes. That's about an hour of cardio! Whee for meee!

mmmmm... now I'm stuffed! It's 2:22pm, and I have to work in 2 hours, so chances are this is the last thing I'll eat today

Yay Thursday means it's almost Friday!

Jessika went out to EN Japanese Brasserie with Stephanie tonight. It was interesting, which kinda means authentic but overall twas good!

Here's what I had at EN:

-half an order of freshly made tofu, warm with a soy and bonito sauce. (tofu is made fresh 4 times per night! 6:00, 7:30, 9:00 and 10:30. I was worried cause we had a 6:30 reservation so our tofu might not have been as fresh, then again Steph was like really? how fresh do you want your tofu to be?)
-sashimi appetizer- 2 pieces each of shaKe salmon sakana, KanpaChi young yellowtail and Chu-toro marbled tuna belly. With fresh made wasabi (it's less spicy then the usual powdery kind) and soy sauce (my favorite part of the meal!)
-main course- Berkshire pork belly simmered with 2 bites of chinese broccoli and a chunk of turnip.
-side dishes- sticky rice with chesnut (really weird cause it was sweet) and miso soup (nothing special, too salty and concentrated in my opinion)
-dessert- scoop of plum ice cream. the most interesting but I didn't really like it. it was sweet at first, then it was salty and kind of tasted like the preserved plums. Finally, it was really creamy.

and for earlier in the day, I had:
-a mini bagel with margarine
-an orange
-2 scones with cream and strawberry jam
-a pot of vanilla mint tea (mmm!)
-3 cups of mint tea
