Nutrisystem

Yesterday I got my big box of Nutrisystem food. It is supposed to be a 30 day supply of food, but I think I could put it all down in about a week! There are all these little snack bars and little cups that remind me of the Cup O' Noodles. I was excited to get my food and to be honest was expecting the serving size to be a little bigger.

Another thing I realized after reading the instruction booklet that came with the food is that I will have to supplement my meals with fruit, salads, dairy, carbs, etc. For example, this morning I had a few granules of low fat granola cereal (I think my cereal bowl actually laughed at me) and I provided milk, a piece of whole wheat toast, and a banana. Most of the food for breakfast was provided by me....heck, I could have had a piece of toast, a banana, and a glass of milk and been fine.

I committed, so I am sticking to it. I'm thinking of this experience as training myself to eat smaller portions more times a day. I've known for over 15 years that this is how I should be eating, and have only been successful for short periods of time. This will be one of those times, but hopefully I can stick with this philosophy longer this time.

2 year anniversary baby!

Sunday was our 2 year anniversary, so Alicia and I celebrated by dining at our favorite high-class restaraunt....T. Cooks. This was the place where over two years ago I proposed to Alicia, so it's a special location for us.

Dinner was wonderful...we sat on the back patio at a table that had been specially prepared with rose petals. Our waiter congratulated us on our anniversary and gave us special anniversary menus. We both ordered the fillet because you can cut it with a butter knife and it melts in your mouth. Our dessert plate had "Happy Anniversary" written on the brim with frozen chocolate, which was a nice touch.

After eating, we went back to the place where I proposed to Alicia, which was a small gazebo that overlooked a grass courtyard. She reminded me how I got on both knees and begged her to marry me. I don't remember that, but I do know how nervous I was and that I didn't know where I was going to actually pop the question beforehand.

Oregon Coast Vacation

Finally posting pictures of Rachel's visit and the Grand Canyon

Rachel came to visit on Memorial Day Weekend (I know that was a long time ago). We went to Williams, AZ and the Grand Canyon. It was a great time! We love you Rachel!!!
