    What tv shows are you loving right now? Banshee and Walking Dead and The Following. The others are still on hiatus. Psssssh.

    What is making you happy today? Sunshine! It's sunny and almost 50* with barely any wind. I just went outside in just a sweatshirt, no coat or hat. It was amazing.

    What tv shows are you loving right now? Re-watching Psych and just started Arrow on Netflix. Caught up on Last Man Standing recently, on the hunt for other shows to watch! ETA: Oh! I forgot we're watching Hannibal on Amazon instant, too.

    What was the best movie you watched in the last year? The movie that most surprised me was Cloud Atlas, I had zero expectations and I was amazed at the whole premise afterward. We just re-watched it recently even.

    What do you have planned for dinners this week? Baked tilapia, and chicken and dumplings. Short week, we'll be spending the rest of it with my parents, which means less cooking for me ;)

  • What is making you happy today?  I burnt 734 calories at the gym in 45 minutes, that made me happy.  And my cat couldn't get enough of me when I got home, that really made me happy.

    What tv shows are you loving right now? The Walking Dead...it's really the only show that I have to watch.  

    What was the best movie you watched in the last year? Lone Survivor

    What do you have planned for dinners this week? Tonight I had a mini frozen pizza and salad, tomorrow is my Mom's birthday so I'm guessing we'll probably go out to dinner, Wednesday will probably be boneless chicken breast paired with a side and Thursday will maybe be a grilled cheese and soup.  Dh works evenings so I eat by myself and by the time I get home from work and the gym I'm usually not in the mood to make a big dinner so during the week it's mostly simple stuff.

    I just had to up it because before I wouldn't let myself leave the gym until I burnt at least 500 calories but lately I'm not losing weight like I'd like to be, so now my new rule is I cannot leave the gym until I hit at least 700 calories...we'll see if it helps.
