#74: Go Two Weeks Without Drinking Soda (Denise)

No Coke

I’m turning thirty in November. Yep THIRTY. As I inch closer and closer to the big three-oh, I’m realizing than my metabolism just isn’t what it used to be. I’ve always been a pretty unhealthy eater and whenever someone has asked me about it, I’ve defaulted to the Scarlett O’Hara: “I’ll worry about tomorrow” (aka,...

    “…tomorrow has arrived.” I SO know what you mean. I’ll be 30 in December and between one pregnancy, a slowing metabolism, and my abhorrence of the gym, I’m in terrible shape. Good for you for quitting soda! (My vice is ice cream). My favorite healthy snacks are cucumber slices + hummus, apple + cheese, and greek yogurt + granola.

    Thanks for the support and great snack suggestions Marisa! Totally with you on hating the gym too. Apparently we have quite a bit in common ;-)

#87: Read 5 Novels in One Year (Denise)

But man – some of them are TEDIOUS to get through (just finished all 900+, small print pages of Count of Monte Cristo… thought I would NEVER finish that sucker.) Wish I was reading more fun books like you are… but that wouldn’t have been a fair goal to add to the list as it’s something I do all the time anyways. Oh well – moving on to the next classic!

    Yeah, the classics are tough, although I do love Count of Monte Cristo. One of my favorite books ever. I don’t think I would have made it through if I’d been starting at 900 plus pages. Until now I’ve been barely reading at all so I’m feeling like the easy books are an accomplishment at this point :-) LOL!

The Gotchers Went to Mexico!

To celebrate my (Ryan) 31st birthday, we decided on a whim, to take a little road trip down to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Mexico for the weekend.  I’ve never been to Mexico before and we really wanted to use our passports again.  Also, we got to cross two things off our 101 in 1001 list!...
