OMG!!! You did what?

What I did tonight has to be a first. I will fill you in shortly.

I am incredibly impressed with my self discipline, and I will describe an example for you now. I have been doing impressive stints in the gym, mainly doing cardio work and alternating between cross-trainer low impact exercise and running. I somehow have quite a pain in my right foot but am able to run through this pain barrier with great music as my distraction. Today Gary Moore covering "Friday on my Mind" was playing with the beat matching my stride. (That makes exercise fun and I wonder what BPM it is? I will do some research and tell you later.)
So after my gym visit today I was incredibly hungry and had an appointment that was 1/2 an hour away and I thought maybe a trip to Subway and a sammy is on the cards. But that meant spending money, so I took a detour home and drank a load of water...plus I might have made a small salad sammy to put some food in my belly. I thought this was a great example of what I am putting into my challenge.
One of the reasons I didn't want to spend money on Subway is that tonight for only the 5th time ever, we got a babysitter in to allow Het and I to go out for dinner. Recently Bacchus featured on a restaurant makeover TV show and it inspired us to go there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was great to eat, converse and share some quality time together. The restaurant is still lacking its spark that it once held when run by the fantastic Marcel Rood, but that was not the reason I surprised myself.
Tonight for the very first time, I left food on my plate. To my astonishment it was my favourite food. Apple Crumble with Ice Cream. I could have said that it was because there was a lot of crumble and the amount of ice cream didn't cut it and left it dry...but the waitress did ask if I wanted some more ice cream but I declined because I was full. I have never done this before in my life. I think my stomachs shrinking or my head is in its right place.
