Make Sure You Have The Goat

Well, The Girl & the Goat was great. It is a tapas-like small plates place. Started with some oysters with a nice balsamic sauce. Had beef tongue for the first time, I really liked it. Had a very good goat loin & sausage place as well.  They had a very good beer list, it pained me not to have any. Had a margarita-like drink and two glasses of wine. The wine list isn't much longer than the beer list, I had a nice syrah and Jonnell liked her Cab. 

We decided we better make reservations ASAP to go again and the first Saturday night we could get was on August 27. It is crazy they are booked that far out, but I'm glad we know we are going back before summer is over.

Other than that meal I've been very good about sticking to the plan. At this point I think I miss ice cream or something sweet at night more than the beer. The only sweet thing I get all day is a Myoplex protein drink I have for breakfast. They aren't cheap, but with Amazon's subscribe & save deal two weeks of the drinks is $31. That is around $15 cheaper than buying them at the grocery store.

Last summer, I bought a Fitbit, which is a fancy pedometer. It comes with a charger / wireless reciever that plugs in the PC to record how many steps I take per day.  It also can tell how fast I am walking/running and monitors calories burned. It also somehow can monitor how well you sleep, but I haven't tried to sleep with it on. It also will let you track your weight, body fat and other measurments over time. There is only one problem, it is not waterproof, so make sure you don't put it in the wash. I'm on my second one because of an accidental washing.  I really like mine, well worth the $99.
