First Week..doing well!

First week of the new year and so far so good. One of my goal was to cook more. Not that we eat out much, but cook a wider variety of foods. To help with this Chad and I are taking a 4 week cooking class. We had the first class last night. It was knife skills. It was fun! We learned how to cut veggies and meat and which knife to use. We ended the night making a delicious stir fry. The classes are at a Whole Foods market, so the grocery shopping is great after class. I find it strange to get excited at a grocery store, but whole foods is amazing. You feel good about every item you put in your cart.
Another goal is to keep up the exercise. I am going to walk around America! Not just me.. 8 of my co-workers and I are going to log all our mile for the year and try to make it virtually from Seattle-San Diego-Jacksonville-Boston-Seattle. It is a total of 7815 miles. We will need to each average about 19 miles a week. I will keep you posted on our progress.

Cool idea with the walking.

I don't know about feeling good about everything I put in my cart at Whole Foods. Once, I accidentally bought a whole pound of carob candies, mislabeled as chocolate. (I believe carob is just a cruel joke) I couldn't even pawn them off on my students. :o(
