Oh, the diet, the diet.

Once again the new year's resolution involves losing some weight--quite a bit of it, in fact. The last time I attempted this feat I was moderately successful, losing 50 lbs, then completely blowing it and gaining it back (and then some).

The plan, specifically, is that I eat 1800 calories a day (on average), and I excercise to burn off about 500 calories a day. and the pounds will just melt away.

Now if they'd only melt faster...

Had lunch at the Old Venice Pizza Company today, and ran into a waitress that Amy and I have known for some years. She and a friend of hers used to work at a local pizzeria chain on Fridays and we'd usually stop by either before or after going to the movies. We hadn't actually seen either one of them in some time; between one thing and another we'd stopped going to the pizzeria as often, and the few times we've been recently neither of them were there, so I assumed that they'd moved on to bigger and better things.

Sorta--she told me that both of them had been fired/quit in rapid succesion with new ownership taking over the pizzeria, and she'd ended up at Old Venice, where I have lunch every couple of weeks (diet--remember? Their salads are okay, but just okay). Anyhow, she seemed genuinely excited to see me again, which is nice.
