deprivation

Hugh and I are on a diet. You can check it out here. It's going pretty well so far. I've got high hopes that it will help us lose the ridiculous amount of weight we've gained since we got married. Our grocery bills will be a bit high while we're on it, as they want you to eat all the expensive cuts of meat, but I figure it's still less than the cost of a gym membership.

Last week I felt a bit panicky about things I needed to get done, but this week is feeling much more cruisy.

Hugh and I have been playing Caylus over a couple of nights. It's the most complicated board game I've ever played. We bought it with wedding gift money from our Canadian wedding, and it's taken us until this weekend to finally decide to play the full game (we'd previously been leaving elements out to make it less confusing). It was satisfying to have worked out how the whole game works, and to have only lost to Hugh by a little bit. (Hugh always wins when we play strategy games...grr...)
