Weight Loss Week Eight: Success is Counted Sweetest

This Week’s Loss -0.9
Total Weight Loss: -8.9

So it hasn’t all been Chipotle burritos and Zumba classes (well, yes, yes it has) but we’ve finally reached wedding week and I’m .9 lbs under my goal weight. Yay!

This week (and the prior week) can mostly be attributed to seeing a mouse in my apartment and refusing to eat while inside said apartment or buy groceries. That mouse might have been a godsend.

So, the shoes are bought, the dress is shortened, and all is right with the world. My next goal is another 5 lbs for my cousin Lindsey’s wedding in December, but there definitely needs to be a break in between this journey and the next. This shiz is hard! Til next time peeps!!

P.S. If you can name the inspiration for the title of this post, I will love you forever. And no Google-ing!

Weight Loss Week Three: Tequila and Tailgating

Weight Lost This Week: – 2.8 lbs.
Weight Loss Still to Go: 2.4 lbs.

Yay! After last week’s disappointing gain, it’s so nice to see the work pay off this week. I’m half way through (4 weeks down, 4 to go) and I’m near my goal. Between Zumba, running and the elliptical, this was the week of the workout. Add to that my new second job, and eating has kind of become superfluous, you know? Get it tight, get it right – here’s how it went:

All Movie Theaters Should Sell Beer and Wine

Eight years in Boston and I’ve never stepped foot inside the Coolidge Corner Theatre. On Saturday, I decided I needed to see The Kids are All Right before it left theaters, and the CCT was still playing it, so I made it a date. I had no idea what I was missing.

The CCT was built in 1906, and became a theater in 1933. It’s art deco all over the place, snd still runs in the vein of the old movie houses, with curtains opening right before the film starts, and movie shorts playing before the feature film.

On top of that, the CCT is clean, and less expensive than the other theaters in Boston. Lately, the disgustingness of the city’s movie theaters has really been getting on my nerves. It’s called a vacuum people! They play old films, cult films and indy films. They sell beer and wine, and just happen to be located next to Upper Crust and across the street from Brookline Booksmith.

If you haven’t been, visit. It’s awesome, I promise!
