Instead of trying to work out 5 days a week, I'm going to say how many days this year I want to work out! I know it will seem massive, but I think that is more realistic for me. If I don't do it one week, I might just give up on working out altogether. However, if I just have days to cross out, I'll do it.
I think I'll divide it into segments.
Valentine's Day (Feb. 14th) 6 weeks until Valentine's Day--work out 30 days
Spring Break-- 5 weeks from Vday to Spring Break--work out 20 days
Graduation--11 weeks from Spring Break to Graduation--40 days
July 4th--10ish weeks between--45 days
Labor Day--I don't even know when Labor Day is. 9ish weeks--45 days
Halloween--10ish weeks--45 days
Thanksgiving--4ish weeks--15 days
Christmas--4 weeks--20 days
End of year--2 weeks--10 days
All together I want to work out 260 days.
So far, 2/30 days done before Valentine's Day

New Year
Happy New Year everyone. Yesterday I went to a movie with my cousin.
I tried the creamy sweet potato soup today from the WW website. It was okay. Not that great.
It was great to have sweet potatoes though. I baked an extra one.
My mom has a very excellent popcorn maker where you can pop kernels in the microwave and make it with your own oil or seasoning. It is a lot of fun.
I feel silly rambling in this sometimes. This week has not been the greatest. I ate low point things on New Year's Eve, but I ate a LOT of it.
We go to Disney World on Thursday! Whoo.

I'll update with more pictures later.
I'm making WW friendly pumpkin cheesecake and WW and vegetarian friendly pigs in a blanket!
I'm excited.

My new years resolution is to update this blog way more!

Dinner today
My mom bought me an immersion blender for Christmas!
I love soup, so I was super excited for this.
Today I decided to try the Potato Cheese Soup recipe from the WW website.
It's only 3 points for one cup.
I forgot to take pictures while I was making it, but it was delicious. A little spicy, so I might use less paprika and/or mustard next time.
I think I'm making the Sweet Potato soup tomorrow.
All in all, an excellent recipe.

Weightwatchers
I've been thinking today because of my meeting and various posts on the 20s board about WW. Mainly about whether or not I think I'll continue meetings/tracking forever.
At least for now, I know I need it. I've lost 15 lbs on WW (and gained back 3 of those pounds). I only have 9-15 lbs to go for my goal (depending on when I decide to stop). However, I know I'll need to keep tracking for now and for a while.
I gained 20 lbs in nine months!!!!!! Nine months!!!! If I had kept going at that rate without WW, I would have gained another 20 lbs this year! (Okay maybe not that extreme but who knows?).
I didn't really track during finals. I gained 3 lbs! I knew I was being bad, but I had so few options and was studying so late I just indulged.
I know what I need to do to make WW successful. I know what choices I need to make. I know I can make this last.
However, for the time being, I need WW. I need the accountability. I really do feel like I could keep going to meetings and tracking for the rest of my life. I think it will be doable!
I know this post was kind of rambling, but I thought I'd get my thoughts out there.

Wii games
For Christmas, I received three new Wii games to help with my WL journey, the Biggest Loser, EA Active, and the Wii fit plus.
Now, I know none of these are the greatest work out ever. However, they are fun and will be good on days that I simply can't get to the gym.
I'll review one on each day.
First up, Wii Fit Plus.
This one is deft. the less strenuous workout of the three I received. My grandpa gave me this one.
Added features are new games and the ability to combine workouts. I like being able to combine workouts. The Wii Fit Plus comes with activites already combined to focus on certain areas. You can also combine strength training and yoga moves. This is nice so you don't have to pause as much between moves!!
The new games are pretty fun. I like the snowball game a lot.
This is also the best of the three to do together. The other two are better workouts, but they aren't really "fun." This you can do with friends.
I like it as a game, but as a workout it has some flaws.
I'm still with my two favorite cats.

Diet Coke
I love diet coke. I know it isn't good for me, but I still love it.
For Christmas, my mom bought be these cute little ornament looking things of Diet Coke. I wanted to blog today, but everything else I would want to talk about is downstairs with no picture. I'm upstairs with a snuggie and a cute little gray kitty.
Here is the kitty. Her name is Lily. She is my parent's cat.
Finally, a picture of my kitty, Twix.
