Year 2, Day 141: Tennis in the Afternoon

I woke up with a leg cramp this morning, which being superstitious, I took as a bad sign. In order to take proaction, I decided to eat a banana, as I know that a potassium deficiency can lead to leg cramps. While this may or may not be medically sound, I am firm believer in the 'if you believe it will make you feel better it probably will' school of thought. So I threw the banana embargo to the wind.

1 Cup Kashi Go Lean & Heritage Flakes
1 small banana
some blueberries
1 cup unsweetened soy milk

snack
1 joy stick
12 oz coffee (half decaf)

Lunch: Chin Yan Shuan
Pork with Cabbage and Peppers
Beef with Celery
Chicken with Spinach
1 Dumpling
Hot and Sour Soup

Dinner: Legal Sea Foods
3 Oysters on the Half Shell
Seafood Salad (Red Leaf, Vinaigrette, Mussels, Calimari, Shrimp, Provolone)
1/2 of 1.5 Lobster
Seaweed Salad
Snowpeas in Oyster Sauce

On the night before my actual birthday, Emily arranged a babysitter so we could go play tennis. Amazingly, we played two sets with the EXACT same score as last time we played, 6-2, and 7-5. Properly exercised, we hot-foot it over to Legal Seafoods (my pick for dinner) where I ordered lobster. Now I am not given to doing that frequently, but I figure there's a few times in life when a lack of restraint is called for. We split everything and it felt great for so many reasons. 1. We exercised. 2. I wasn't going to work the next day. 3. It was my birthday. 4. We actually got a seat at the bar (the wait for a table was 45 minutes). We got home and put the kids to bed and everything was great. So I guess you couldn't ask for a better birthday present than that.
