Day 2 down...

I don't want to spend too much time on this post, it's almost 11:30pm and I'm exhausted.

First two days have gone pretty well.  I've gotten lots of helpful hints from family and friends alike and I'm sure to get many more.

So far I'm doing pretty good, no cheats and only a few cravings.  I've been scouring my blood-type cook book for ideas for meals and have found a few that I'm looking forward to trying.  So far this week I've had no meat to speak of so I think I'll bake a salmon fillet for dinner tomorrow night... mmmmmm, my mouth is watering already!!

On a completely unrelated note, I just finished watching Robin Hood with Neil.  It was a great movie, Neil even stayed awake through the whole thing so that's saying something!  As I was watching I was constantly wondering where I recognized this one character from.  He's one of the guys that follows Russell Crowe around and provides comic relief and occasionally you hear him singing and strumming on a lute (or some other stringed instrument).  I recognized his voice and his face but just couldn't place him.  So, after the movie was over I got online and looked up the cast list.  When I found him I didn't recognize his name but his bio said he was born in Petty Harbour, Newfoundland!!  Now that rang a bell since I've just been to a concert here in my home town in BC where the lead singer said he was from Petty Harbour.  So I Googled the actor's name, Alan Doyle, and it turns out he's the lead singer for the band Great Big Sea... the very band whose concert I had just so greatly enjoyed!  Now I think that's an interesting coincidence, one worth noting on my new blog which I'm pretty sure about a half a dozen people are following!!  Anyway, if you get a chance I suggest you watch Robin Hood (it reminded me of Braveheart, if you like that sort of thing) and let me know what you think.

Anyway, that's all for now, next time I post I'll be including my weight (eek)!  Stay tuned...
