I’ll be going to Greece in September! And hopefully Boston over Labor Day weekend.

2. Are you currently dieting or following a specific eating plan?
Yes, I am on Weight Watchers. It works!

Every day almost. Less so in the summer when I wear dresses.

4. Who is your favorite singer?
I don’t really have one… Not that into music.

5. Have you cooked anything interesting lately?
I made Rotini with Sauteed Chicken Sausage and Vegetables on Sunday. Not that interesting, but pretty healthy and delicious!

First, let’s review last week:

1. Read a book and write a review. The Kitchen House

2. Lose one pound. The 4.8 pounds I gained in Chicago was lost in six days!

3. Try out a new recipe. Rotini with Sauteed Chicken Sausage and Vegetables

4. Stay on my $100 a week budget. FAIL

5. Floss at least three times. Finally… Three times is more realistic than five I learned.

Now, my goals for this week:

1. Read a book and write a review.

2. Lose one pound.

3. Go to the movies. (It’s been too long…)

4. Stay on my $100 a week budget.

5. Floss at least three times.
