The title could refer to reading blogs which I'm still not entirely comfortable with, but in this case it's the title of a German movie we saw last night at our favorite movie house, The Palace. We both thought the film was wonderful; interesting, layered characters, dramatic tension heightened by a vivid portrayal of totalitarian oppression and a musical score that only added to the film.

Before the movie we had our first restaurant meal since we started dieting. I was easily satisfied with salad and minestrone but since I've also been cutting back on my sodium, the salt content of the soup was a bit much.

After a warm and humid day of working in the yard/garden and then going out in the evening, I had trouble sleeping until the cold front came through sometime early this morning. The relief of hearing the much needed rain, the cooler breeze, having the quiet house to myself, I gave myself an extra hour and half of sleep and enjoyed every minute of it so now I feel like I shouldn't have any trouble with my diet plan today.
