By the way, speaking of staying trim and losing a few pounds, I was invited by one of the ladies in my walking club at work to join her in her gym. She also weight trains and says that weight training not only helps you to build build muscle but it is also one of the fastest calorie busting activity. I have never had a lot of upper body strength so lifting weights has always been a bit intimidating for me. I’m thinking of giving it a try though.

My mother just celebrated a birthday and so did my daughter. We just happened to all go out to eat on the same night to celebrate. They went to Onami a Japanese restaurant and we went to Peony Bistro, also a Japanese restaurant. We all had our fill of sushi! The only difference is, they are on the west coast and we are on the east.

While eating, we were discussing how we celebrate almost any occasion with food. I don’t mind, the kids don’t mind and my husband definitely doesn’t mind. The only thing that probably minds is my waistline. Unfortunately, I don’t have the same metabolism as the rest of the family and I can tell almost immediately when I’ve crossed the line. I would never resort to diet pills or anything like that, but I sure need to cut back some the next few weeks just to not compound all the calories I ingested in one weekend. Oh, I forgot I also used the occasion of my daughter’s birthday to do some baking.
