Friday date night...

Hey, all ~

So, I'm off work today and headed to my girlfriend's house who had a baby a few weeks ago to meet her little guy and hang out. I'm picking us up some Togo's on the way, so someone else will make me a healthy lunch today!

Tonight is date night which for us also means a relaxed eating night. NOT a binge night, but not an "on" night, if you know what I mean. We are going to make brown rice sushi with cucumber, mango, avocado and a mix of red tuna (maguro) and salmon. Also some oven roasted garlic asparagus and a salad for veggies. Probably have some sake or wine and dessert will probably be strawberries. So, not bad for food, but the portions for the sushi and wine/sake is why I'm thinking it will be an off night. That's all good, though, it is one of the things that keeps us sane.

Thanks for all of the tips on pedometers and exercising at work :) I am definitely going to get a pedometer (thanks for the link!) and start walking at work. We'll see what else I add in during the day. I get quite the red face from strenuous exercise, so I may keep it to walking so I don't have a beet-faced afternoon!

Hearts,
Ellen :)

We do the rice sticky -- usually use rice wine vinegar and a little sugar, but are going to do it without sugar tonight.

Togos was a small turkey & cranberry on wheat, no cheese or condiments, yum :)
