Date Night!!

Leif's parents are in town for Easter, so they watched Ellie tonight so we could go on a rare date! It was SO nice to get out and just spend some time together. We went to I-Ho's for some Korean food and I actually ordered something slightly different than I normally do! I usually get Yaki Soba noodles with a double order of wings. This time I got Yaki Soba with a single of wings and an order of chicken and veggies. I ate about 1/3 of it and brought the rest home for later. I did eat all the wings, though. =D About halfway through dinner we noticed there was a new item on the menu... dessert! Cheesecake wontons drizzled with chocolate sauce and served with ice cream. Mmmm. We had to. It was a small dessert perfect for sharing, so I didn't feel that it was overly indulgent, but it was excellent. And in my attempt to stop consuming aspartame, I got "real" pop instead of the Diet Pepsi I normally get. 7up was the drink of choice tonight and it was good, but I definitely think twice before drinking it since I have to count the calories. I had about 8 oz and that was it. I also had some water.

After dinner we decided to take a walk downtown, so we parked at the west end and made our way east. We stopped into Wild Joe's for some coffee and stayed a good while listening to the live music they had playing. It was a folksy blue grass group and they were really good! I stuck with black coffee so as not to add to the calorie count today. About 9:00 we headed out and walked the rest of the main street loop. It was wonderful! We talked and laughed and just enjoyed ourselves. It was nice.

Thanks to a heavy breakfast, pizza for lunch, and eating out for dinner (including dessert!) I went over on my calories today. I clocked in at 1800 calories, which is about 250 over my range for the day. But yesterday I only got 980ish calories in, which is about 250 under my range, so it evens out in the end.
