eMeals

First...let's talk about Valentine's Day. We had a very nice one. Went to a nice dinner at Olive Garden where I took half of my meal home & felt okay about what I ate. Then came home to just relax for the evening. When we got home from dinner, I found some cute flowers in my door...something I was not expecting to find. I got Matt a shirt, some boxers & some chocolate. He had been looking for the shirt I got him FOREVER, so he was super excited to receive it. Overall, we had a good day. He also helped me pay off some bills for my present...which was very helpful & a big relief. Here are the lovely flowers:

**PLEASE IGNORE MY MESS OF A KITCHEN!!**

Now...for the real topic of this post...I found a Groupon the other day for a year of eMeals. I checked out the eMeal website and it's very interesting. I can get them to do a menu for me on a budget or for a diet (I actually need both...but the diet menu isn't too bad in prices). I wanted to ask though...have any of you ever tried eMeals? I'm trying to cook more often since I'm getting older & I know I'm going to want to cook for my future family eventually...but do you think this sounds like a good deal? It's $30 which is about 50% of the usual rate for a year of their meals. But I wanted another opinion before I purchase...so what do you think??

Name the Keurig!!

So...I am sooo excited to announce that I got my KEURIG today!! Thank you to my parents & sister for giving me the gift cards for Hannukah :-) I paired it with the Glee travel mug they got me last year & it is just wonderful. There is one thing I still want to do though...and that is give it a name. No joke...this thing is like a child to me at the moment (that's how long I've been waiting for one). So...any ideas??

I like the idea of alliteration...so I was thinking something with a K, of course. WHAT DO YOU THINK?? Help me out!!

Here it is:

Isn't it just BEAUTIFUL?? Hehehe

Winter Weight

I looked in the mirror today...I am definitely gaining some Winter weight. Yikes!!

Need to stop this before it gets out of hand...

Sorry for all the lack of posting!! Crazy busy with work lately...gotta love those holiday hours!!

xoxo

Weekend

What a weekend!! I am so beyond tired, I don't even know what to think or do. And this week with Thanksgiving is gonna be crazy busy too!!

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I made the decision to stay in Raleigh instead of go see family in Charlotte because I just can't do it all with work on Black Friday...so I'll be cooking some Thanksgiving dishes on my own for the FIRST TIME!! Any advice on how to keep things yummy, but healthy?? I'm gonna ask my mom to send some of my fave recipes...but I'd love ya'lls ideas too!!

What is everyones plans for the holiday?? How are you planning to stay on track while still enjoying all the yummy food??

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year, Everyone!!

I made a last minute trip to the beach, so I wasn't able to post for a few days--but I'm back now and as ready as I can be to make these 2011 goals a reality!!

I have 2 main goals in mind right now:
1) Lose 80 pounds by December (by my graduation, to be exact)
2) Become a runner

I'm sure other goals will come to mind as time goes on, but I think those are two good starters.

In other news...I joined a gym last week!! I've always had access to my campus gym & apartment gym, but I made a decision to join a gym where I pay once a month because I'm more likely to go when my money is being put towards it. I go for a tour tomorrow & to pick up all my stuff and I'm super excited. I have a lot of friends that already work out there, so I have tons of supporters and motivators behind me :-)

Anyways, I've had a long day at work...so I'm gonna hit the sack!! I'll try to catch up on everyones blogs tomorrow when I have the day off. Can't wait to hear about all your 2011 goals!!

This is How Well My Parents Know Me...

So, I got a package from my parents & sister today...just a few gifts and magazines. Nice package :-)

But this is the product that got me most and showed me that my parents know me better than I realized...

Yes...that IS a Glee travel mug. And yes...I do plan to use it 24/7.

AHH!! I LOVE GLEE!!

A Little Bit of Joy...

So, I was browsing some blogs today and found a link to this idea and absolutely LOVED it!! The Twelve Days of Christmas Gift Swap.

Now, as you could read in my last post, I've been dealing with A LOT lately and thought this may be a fun little way to cheer me up again. Plus, I'm hoping it'll set me back on track with the weight loss ;-)

Head on over & sign up!! It should be super fun!!

Extra Workouts

With Thanksgiving on Thursday, I think it may be time to add in some extra workouts to my routine. It's that time of year where treats and goodies pop up all over the place and sometimes it's just too much to resist.

Plan of Action:
-Treat myself, but only a small taste...no need to eat something bad when I can just have a little nibble and enjoy it.
-Up the workouts...workout more & workout harder. Need to get rid of those extra calories

What are ya'lls holiday eating plans??
