Craig day 19

Had some strong temptations last night because we did a family night out to dinner... I think this is the first time we've gone out to eat all month, which is unusual, usually we go out about once a week, sometimes twice if you throw in carry out.

We stayed in a hotel last night just for fun in Denver... when you get there, they hand out my kryptonite: warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookie. I politely declined. The kids laughed. They know how much dad loves warm gooey cookies.

We went to "The Edge" for dinner, which we do once a year, it's a fancy expensive place but so so good. First thing they do is bring out homemade bread with this yummy salted butter. I declined, kids laughed.. and then I ordered a soda water with lime.

But the food was good... I think the sauce on my fish had a little bit of sugar in it, I didn't want to ask. I ordered the healthiest thing I could find on the menu. Had some sashimi and brussel sprouts too. Of course then the kids got invited to the back room "ice cream sunday bar" literally back in the kitchen with the pastry chef...... man do I love ice cream! I stood by drooling.

Yesterday I did a 30 minute row on my Concept 2 Model D... but I did it with a) a 20lb weight vest on (which only lasted 10 minutes, causing back pain) and b) the resistance cranked up all of the way. Man that sucked. Got about 7,500 meters, 500 calories.
