Food & Exercise

Seeing that I haven't updated since Sunday, I'll give you a quick update on Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday:
Monday
A group of us celebrated a friends birthday at the Melting Pot...if you haven't been there...stop reading now, shutdown your computer, grab your keys, and your ass over there! Yes, it was that amazing. For those of you that don't know about it, you get a four course Fondue dinner starting with your choice of cheese (we got the Feng Shui Cheese Fondue & Fiesta Cheese Fondue), then you choose your salad (I had the Mandarin and Almond Oriental Salad), next is your entrée (we chose the Fondue Feast which comes with Ahi Tuna, Vannamei Shrimp, Teriyaki Sirloin, Tenderloin, Panang Chicken and Potstickers) with your type of cooking style (we chose traditional Court Bouillon style & Mojo style), and lastly (the best part!) the dessert (we chose the Yin & Yang Chocolate Fondue and Chocolate S'mores Fondue). Three hours later we had all gained five pounds....so take that my dear cousin and your husband....and shove it! :) I will warn you that the place is a bit pricey ("a bit" being an understatement), but it's totally worth it. In fact, I would rather go there than Texas de Brazil any day (even though T de B has the good looking waiters w/ the accents!!!!)

Tuesday

Most of you already know what happens on Tuesdays.....The Flying Saucer! This is another unique place because it is a bar that has over 200 different types of beer from around the world. A group of us go there every Tuesday to play trivia and ummm...drink. Also, I've signed up for the UFO Club, where I have to drink 200 different types of beers and then I'll get my name put on a plate, which will go on the wall for all of eternity (okay, maybe not eternity, but for a really long time). Its pretty simple how it works....you sign-up for the UFO card ($14 for membership & a FS t-shirt) and everytime to go to the Saucer you swipe your card at the computer and it keeps up with what beers you've had and which ones you have yet to drink. Upon completion of the 200 beers you get a $100 beer tab to celebrate your victory, and then you officially become a Beer Knurd.

This Tuesday we didn't have many people show up, but its all cool b/c the guy that runs trivia bought me a beer! (No, he wasn't hitting on me...he just knows our group really well and will buy us beer and food all the time.)

Wednesday

I'm not sure if it had anything to do with what my cousins said this last weekend, but I started exercising/working-out today. I kept telling myself that I would hit the gym tomorrow, but tomorrow turned into a couple of months. Anyway, I'll trying going at least 3 times a week (I don't want to set the bar too high and not be able to keep up with it.), and see how it goes. Also, I bought a hybrid mountain/racing bike last fall, so I'll get that out and starting riding again.
Gnite!
