Day 83

Yesterday was another good day.

The big news... I did manage to get in a run in the morning. I felt pretty good, actually. Not only having gotten it out of the way, but also I felt like it gave me a bit more energy the rest of the day. So I was pretty happy about that. Also, I did two miles again, and that felt great.

Food-wise, the day was just fine, though I did splurge a bit at dinner. Breakfast was a banana and a breakfast bar. For lunch, I decided to not buy a Caesar salad from the Brite Spot (where it's like playing Russian roulette with how the chicken will be cooked, whether or not they'll remember dressing, etc.), and instead made my own. It came out pretty good, definitely satisfying.

For dinner, I met up with my step-father, in town for a couple of nights, and we went out to a sushi restaurant called Abe in Newport Beach. Credited as one of the top sushi restaurants in California, it most certainly lived up to it's reputation. It was unbelievable! And I ate (and ate and ate). Generally, most everything I ate was "good for me," though I did enjoy two pieces of shrimp tempura (yummm...) and had the plum sorbet for dessert (which I don't think was sorbet, I think it was ice cream). Oh well. Well worth it!

So that was the day. I might run again after I'm finished with this, again, partly to get it out of the way, and partly because I hear that running (or doing any exercise) first thing in the morning is better for you.

So, just the facts:
