Down another pound and a half this week which was encouraging. based on my weigh-ins throughout the week I was kind of expecting to plateau. I really had done no cardio to speak of until saturday. That will change this week when I start biking to work.

Had a very busy weekend! Saturday, a friend and I went to a relatively staid barack obama party that we ended up ducking out of fairly early.

From there it was to the movies. We saw a very interesting, albeit sad, documentary called "No End In Sight." Its about Iraq. What makes it different from the usual spiel on the right and left is that it is almost entirely made up of people who actually played an important role in the Iraq campaign. From Jay Garner, the original head of the Iraq occupation to Lieutenant Seth Moulton lead a platoon in Najaf and Bagdad. The movie could be summed up by the statement of Ambassador Barbara Bodine. "When we were first starting the reconstruction, we knew there was about 500 ways to do it wrong and 2 or 3 ways to do it right. What we didn't know is that we would be going through all 500 ways first. " If it is in your area, I would highly reccomend seeing this film even if you do leave sad and pissed off.

On Sunday I helped serve a gourmet dinner to some of the more needy folks in the area at my church's "All Saints Cafe" we do this every 3 months and it is excellent food with restaurant-style service for people who usually end up going hungry many days of the week.
