Week 4

Weight Loss- (31 to go)  The scale has finally moved!!!  I lost three pounds this week.  I really haven't changed what I eat, I have just been eating less of it.  Brian and I have also been cutting down on how much we go out to eat.  We are supposed to go to the gym three times a week.  That really didn't happen this week.  We went on Sunday.  Yesterday I didn't feel like driving in the wind storm we were having so I did one of my exercise DVDs.  I did it, but it was kind of torture.  There are just too many distractions at home.  I need to be at the gym when this winter weather permits, and of course on the trails once spring gets here.  I will continue to do these horrible DVDs as a last resort though.  I am excited that I lost three pounds this week, and hope this motivates me to keep going.

***In the midst of typing this, one of my friends sent me a text asking me if I wanted to start going to the gym with her on Saturday mornings, so it looks like I will start going to the gym 4 times a week :)

Recipes- (30 to go) On Sunday we had beef stroganoff.  The recipe came from the Cook This Not That cookbook.  I thought it was really good.  Brian thought it was just OK.  Brian and I have a few of the Cook This Not That and Eat This Not That books.  They are full of good tips for people like us who are not wishing to go on a super strict diet, but are looking for ways to make small changes to get healthier.

Movies- (28 to go) No new movies this week.  Shocking I know :)

Books- (33 to go) This week I finished Who Could That Be at This Hour? by Lemony Snicket.  It's a kids book about a detective who travels to a lighthouse to solve the mystery of a missing statue called the Bominating Beast.  It was a good book, and had the same dry sense of humor as the Series of Unfortunate Event Books.
