Week 1

Weight Loss- (33 to go) I lost one pound this week.  It was a slow start as I knew it would be. I am still on vacation and I have been sick for over a week.  I did go grocery shopping yesterday, and the holiday leftovers are almost gone, so it will only get easier from here.  For week two I am going to focus on drinking more water, and getting over being sick, so I can get to the gym.

Recipes- (32 to go) On New Year's day Brian and I tried two new recipes (both can be found on my Pintrest board).  We made a mashed potato bake, and lemon rice soup.  I had no idea lemon rice soup was so hard to make.  A couple of people commented about how hard it was when they heard we were making it.  They were right!  We had to try to twice.  You have to temper and egg, which means using an egg in the broth to thicken it without cooking the egg.  Ugh!  Brian finally got it after I had given up.  It was worth it though, both the bake and the soup was wonderful, and we enojoyed a nice New Year's dinner.

Movies- (32 to go) We saw the new Hobbit movie this week.  It wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be.  I had no desire to see it after not really liking the first one, but it was surprisingly enjoyable.  I liked it a lot better than the first one.  I also watched this movie on Netflix called Prince Avalanche.  It was terrible. It was about these two guys that work together, and their messed up lives.  

Books- (34 to go) I didn't get as much reading done this vacation as I was wanting.  As I mentioned earlier, I was sick all week, and everytime I sat down to read, I ended up falling asleep.  I am in the middle of reading Mockingjay right now, as well as Who Could That be at This Hour? which is by the same author of Series of Unfortunate Events.
