I got on the scale today and it read 266.6 pounds. It was 266.8 on Wednesday, so this means that I only lost one fifth of a pound in the past two days. Each time I go in there, I’m losing less weight. Good news is that I’ve lost 4.4 pounds since Saturday - so that is a bit more then the safe “2 pound limit” per week. The counslor is hoping that I’ll lose two to three pounds by the next time I see her on Monday.

I’m thinking that I need to do more exercising or something. Today I walked the car garage with Engin twice - about 15 minutes each time. Normally we would walk around the pond in front of the office, but it was a rainy day today. A few of my co-workers invited me to lunch, but I declined due to the diet. Sure … I could have gone with them, but the diet thing is so new that I didn’t want to mess it up. I didn’t bring my fast tracker either, so I would be lost trying to figure out what is ok for my meal.

I picked up another box of bars when I left so that I can have a variety with the cookie dough bars. I had a lemon bar for my afternoon snack, so I picked out a box of lemon bars. These things melt quicker then the other bars, but they sure are tasty.

I dropped the bars in my car and then walked back to the petco next door. I got my 20 pound bag of nutro and asked for another application for a petco card. This works out great because this petco is rite next to a location that I’m guarenteed to visit often. Before this diet, the only petco I knew of near me was in the next county near my mother in-law. Now I can do this deal “Buy 10 bags, get one free”.

So I dropped off the cat food and then headed to the safeway grocery store next to petco (convienent little place, isn’t it?). I got out some money to cover my wife this weekend while I make a trip to a friends house for a bon fire party. I then proceeded to buy all the items that my wife asked for on Wednesday. I even found her produce peanuts - but it was mixed with the new brand that the other Safeway was selling. I guess they will stop selling the Produce brand once they run out.

After getting the food, I then walked over to Block Buster. Van Helsing was sold out. I picked up Kaena: The Prophecy and Soul Plane. Kaena was pretty cool. It was a computer animation film made in Paris. I would have to say that it fits within the Final Fantasy area with science fiction and was also started out as a video game. It didn’t become a video game, but the movie is great.

There are so many visuals that are just stunning. Creatures are made of flowing sap. Characters have long hair that moves like hair. Movement is very fluid and human. Even the expressions on the faces are great. Final Fantasy looked really funny when it came to facial expressions - especially when the characters talked. Kaena was awesome - but the movements were for French words, so it didn’t exactly match what she said in English.

The story behind Kaena is amazing. She has such character. She is a woman from a primative tribe living in what looks to be vines every where. She doesn’t take to the daily life of collecting sap for the gods or tending to the oversized worms for eating as the rest of the viligers and is very curiouse about what lies beyond the clouds.

If you like flicks such as Final Fantasy, or Japenese Anima - I suggest that you should look into viewing Kaena: The Prophecy
