I wasn’t expecting a loss this week- with Busch Gardens yesterday and dinner at the Blue Talon, a local French bistro, I was expecting a minimal, even undetectable loss. But no! I lost 1.2 pounds this week! It seems I’m back on track.

Yesterday Jered and I went for a short bike ride (only an hour, but we did do over 14 miles). Afterwards we headed up to Busch Gardens with my little brother. We spent a good portion of the afternoon there and did quite a bit of walking. After leaving the park we decided to celebrate our 8 year (!!!) dating anniversary by having dinner at the Blue Talon. The Blue Talon recently re-opened after being closed for a good 6 months because of a fire. I had a big pot of mussels and Jered had some delicious Mac’n Cheese gratin.

Today we’re just puttering around the house- Jered is out mowing the lawn and I just finished making some chocolate cupcakes with almond chocolate frosting (torture!!) to bring in for my friend whose birthday was last Thursday. I feel awful because I thought her birthday was on the 28th instead of the 22nd- but no, she turned 28 on the 22nd. Oops! I’m hoping that the cupcakes will help with make up for my bad memory!

We’re planning on grilling tonight since the weather is so nice. We’re waiting to hear back from our friends to see who will be joining us so that we can go do a little grocery shop this afternoon. Jered has taken up water coloring so we are probably going to make a run to Michaels too, to pick up some supplies. There’s nothing like a good lazy Sunday!
