Notes: Done over the course of an hour or so, with breaks for breakfast and general "easing in" to the day.  The KB swings, chins and pull aparts were done first thing.  I'm REALLY liking starting my day with the KB swings.  Gets my heart rate up and body alive.  Also good for me to keep drilling that hip hinge.  Even if not always tabata, I may just make that a part of my life's daily routine.  

EDIT: Actually, wanted to get this down as well: date night was awesome.  Walking the pedestrian bridge was cool, beautiful sights, nice activity, but along with that I'm finding that, for the first time in a LONG time, I can really ENJOY eating.  I've always had such a huge appetite that going out to eat was typically about just finding the biggest thing on the menu and eating all of it, and I was so task focused that I really wasn't "present" for the experience.  Having dieted for so long and so strict would make me thing I'd do the exact same thing, but twice now I've learned that I've developed the ability to SAVOR my meals now.  We had an appetizer of southwestern style deviled eggs, which basically boiled down to 1.25 eggs for me (5 halves on the plate, split between the Mrs and I), and each bite was fantastic.  My meal was 2 fish tacos (technically 1 tilapia and 1 shrimp), and each bite was flavorful and enjoyable, with a side of rice and black beans, and then we split a piece of puff-pastry cheesecake.  There were larger menu items I could have eaten, red meat I could have partaken in, but I picked food that I thought would taste good and be enjoyable and I had a great night out as a result of it.

Just kinda interesting the way things develop.
