all played out (lyn)

Today I saw Hamlet on Broadway, starring Jude Law.  He was electrifying, but at three hours, the play was too long.  Perhaps if Shakespeare had been a contemporary playwright, he might have been advised to shorten the play by an hour or so in order to appeal to a broader audience.  

I go to theater a lot, but this week I may have overdone it.  By Tuesday, I’ll have seen five plays in seven days. That’s a lot of sitting and watching.

I get hungrier when I’m engaged in a passive activity.  Today was no exception.  By the time I left the theater, at 6pm, I was starving.  

For dinner, I settled for a turkey burger with exactly 30 fat-free Pringles and a 2-point WW ice cream for dessert.  I am now full, and feel I didn’t have the  healthiest dinner, but I did stay within my points.  


If someone had told me three months ago that one day I'd be counting out the number of chips I ate, I'd think they were crazy.    But as long as the pounds keep melting away, counting, weighing, avoiding and substituting are minor sacrifices to make.
