Hope everyone (stateside, that is!) is having a good Memorial Day holiday. I know I’ve enjoyed the three-day weekend!

It was a great weekend…on a lot of levels. Friday I got off work early and my boyfriend took me out for sushi. There’s a really good sushi place in Knoxville (believe it or not!) called Nama. I rarely go because it’s prices are a little steep, but… Sweet boyfriend had a gift certificate he’d been saving, so we indulged! After lunch we did a favor for a friend who’s getting married next month — drove to the church where her wedding is and from there to the reception site to “test run” her directions. It was a LOVELY afternoon for a ride in my convertible!

Saturday was also really pretty… We slept in (blissful) and dropped off boyfriend’s mandolin at the music store for restringing, grabbed lunch, watched a movie…

Sunday was the best. We got up and went to the gym (he’s not a big gym-goer, but he’s a good sport about it when I ask him to go with me), and followed up 45 minutes on the elliptical with about an hour in the pool. Not intense swimming, but a few laps, and some water treading and such, as well as some restful floating. And then one of my best friends called and he and his wife and daughter were going to be in town for dinner, so we joined them for a tasty meal and a great visit.

Today has been a lazy day, but food-wise it’s been good, and I’m about cap off the day with a healthy dinner of edamame (yum!). I sort of “cheated” and weighed myself again today, and, sure enough, I was down a pound from yesterday… But I’m not going to record that loss; just wait and see what next Sunday brings and try not to obsess too much about the scales in the meantime.

A good start of the week to everyone…
