Week 3

Weight Loss- (34 to go)  I finally made it back to the gym!!!  We went to the gym three times this week, which was the goal.  Each time I did 3 miles on the elliptical and then about 10 minutes on weight machines.  Each day I didn't want to go.  I had to drag myself kicking and screaming, but once I was there each time I felt much better.  I need to keep that in mind and use that as my motivation.  I am never going to want to go to the gym, but will feel better for having gone.

Recipes- (31 to go) Nothing new to report this week.

Movies- (28 to go) Brian and I have watched three movies since my last entry.  Saturday night we watched Despicable Me 2.  I wasn't a huge fan of the first one, but I actually really liked the second one.  This was one of those rare occasion that the sequel was better than the original.  Sunday we went to the movies and saw Inside Llewyn Davis.  It was good.  John Goodman was hysterical, but unfortunately his role was pretty small.  John Goodman has been popping up in all sorts of things lately, and he seems to steal the movie when he is in one.  I love him.  Finally, last night we rented Fruitvale Station which is based on a true story about an unarmed black man being shot to death by police at a train station on New Years Eve.  The end of the movie was pretty intense (obviously), but the movie spent a lot of time trying to make the main character look like a saint so you would feel more emotionally involved.  This is OK, but this movie was a little too obvious about it.

Books- (34 to go) I am still in the middle of Mockingjay and Who Could That be at This Hour? by Lemony Snicket.  I will most likely finish the Snicket book this weekend.
