weigh-in day.

somehow i managed to not gain weight this past week... considering my circumstances, i'd count that as a minor miracle. i had no exercise, and my healthy eating went to hell. mid-week i'd run out of food to make at home, and i was frustrated and ouchy, so my meals became whatever was easy to get and comforting -- chinese takeout, boston market... a frappuccino for lunch on the way home from the doctor... i even had a brownie batter blizzard for dinner both nights this weekend. bleh. (but yeah, it was good.) i could definitely feel the slump in my energy level, and i'm glad to have that week behind me so i can get back on track.

i've already made my meals for the week so that everything's easy to heat up when i get home (pork chops in the crock pot -- they're falling apart from the slow cooking, soooo good), and i'm going to try walking after work a couple of nights this week. lets see if we can get the scale moving downward again, instead of being at a standstill.

on a separate note, when did it become the trend to add "...the musical" at the end of the title of every new broadway show? "billy elliot - the musical"... "shrek - the musical"... " do we really need to spell it out? is anyone really going to go see it on broadway and be shocked that they're not showing the movie on a screen? when "grease" made it onto film, they didn't call it "grease - the movie". it's starting to get annoying.

I think maybe they added "the musical" to shows like that to indicate that they're musicals and not straight plays. I haven't seen the film version of Billy Elliot, but while I know there's dancing involved, I think it's more of a drama; and Shrek wasn't a typical Disney movie with lots of musical breaks, like The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast or something. Now, if they'd turned something like The Godfather into a musical, it'd make a whole lot more sense to tack it onto the end of the title... ;D

I still need to finish my X-Men: The Musical!
