Aug. 4th, 2004 01:55 amSo, I survived my first week at Weight Watchers (hereafter WW).
I was talking with my mom on the phone Sunday night and my mom was like, "How about if we both lose weight, we go see The Village tomorrow." And I was like, "What if only one of us does?" My mom - "Then we'll go see it on Tuesday." I'm sorry, but what exactly would the difference be? It's not like seeing the movie on Tuesday is a punishment for me if I don't lose weight, since I'm still going to se it.
So, we both lost weight. My mom - she said four ounces, but I think she might have meant 4/10 of a pound, since they do tenths of a pound there. She wasn't very happy about that, but my mom's pretty skinny to begin with (168 pounds) (and yet, she wants to lose another 30 pounds, when she only needs to lose 15 *at most* - where is the logic in this?). Hopefully, her body will rebel and between it, me, and WW, we can somehow convince her that she's okay at the weight she's at (unrealistic, I know, but I gotta have some hope).
And I lost 7.6 pounds. In one week. I think that's more than I've lost, like, *ever*. I'm sure it's because I a) drank more water, b) was more conscious of what I was eating and c) didn't eat as much - just slower. I know that in a week or two, it'll slow down to about 2 pounds a week or something, but still... Wow.
After we grabbed lunch at Applebees (which has a nice selection of WW items), we went to see the 3 pm showing of The Village. For some reason, they decided to change the time to 2:30 and sold us tickets for the 5 pm show so we had already missed about 15 minutes of the movie. (We didn't look up at the marquee because we had looked it up online, and that's always been reliable before and just said, "Two for The Village".)
So we ended up sneaking in to see A Cinderella Story while we waited. Complete and utter fluff. But it was fun. And I'm highly amused that Rupert Grint was cast to play Austin, but had to bow out because of PoA. (Chad Michael Murray is the guy who is actually in the movie.)
I have to say that I loved The Village. M. Night Shyamalan is great. Joaquin Phoenix is great. Adrien Brody is great. (And if I didn't love him before, I do now.) And I love the sound/music for it. My mom said she thought it was good, but I could tell that she wasn't totally impressed with it. I don't think she's been completely wowed with any of Shyamalan's stuff since The Sixth Sense. (Though I can understand with Unbreakable, because she doesn't like the whole comic book thing.)
Saw R.S.V.P. today. I thought it was actually quite good for what genre it's in. So, I definitely recommend it.
If you haven't read the latest part (aka 115) of Lazuli's Repossession, you definitely should. And if you're behind, what are you waiting for to catch up?
