The New Year

We have never been into big New Year's Eve celebrations.  In Utah we have a few close friends over for a dinner and great conversation but they are out the door before midnight.  We put together a last minute date night and headed to Shirlington Village which is about a 15 minute drive.  No Metro access which is why, though it was at the top of our list of places to live we didn't end up there.  We loved it though because as we walked out of the apartment bldg. we looked at, we entered this lovely street full of restaurants, theatre, library, shops and a great movie theatre.
We ended up at a matinee of Silver Linings Playbook then walked up the beautifully lit street.

We headed home and cooked dinner, had our last Ben and Jerry's and watched college football.  We even stayed awake past midnight!

 2013 started off with a new diet.  Based on Dr. Joel Fuhrmann's Eat To Live it's basically fruit and vegetables.  We had talked about trying a vegetarian regime anyway so when a friend in Utah recommended this, we decided to give it a try for 6 weeks and see how it goes.  It has been going well so far.  We feel good, we're VERY regular and down 5 lbs.  Fell off the wagon a bit when we spent last weekend in NJ doing our rotation with Tom's mom but I had taken some food with us so I was able to stay pretty honest with the diet.
