New Years Resolutions

 

 

I personally hate New Years Resolutions. Although they are a good idea no one follows through with them. Even though I dislike them, I still follow the crowd when it comes to making new goals. However, this year I decided to choose two goals that I want to work on every month to improve myself and my lifestyle. At the beginning of each month I write on my white board what I will try to improve on.

 

My first goal for January is to loose eight pounds. A part of my goal is a plan that consists of a written down goal and how I can effectively achieve it. My plan is to loose weight consists of getting an hour of exercise everyday except Sunday and following my own nutritious meal plan.

 

My second goal is to cut back on television. Since my family doesn't have cable all of my T.V. is consumed on online websites like Hulu and Netflix. Lately this has become a problem in my life because I've wasted so much time in a day that could be otherwise better spent. I am cutting my self back to a limit to watch up to an hour of television or one movie for a day if I have finished all my homework and cleaned my room.

 

Every month I will blog about my previous months goals and the new goals I will set.

The AMAZING Spicy Chicken Sandwich

 

The all amazing Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Carl's Jr. Ahhh where do I start! My best friend and I were starving and decided to go to Carl's Jr. and we only had $3.00 in our pockets. We ran through the menu to find that we couldn't afford anything except for the $1.00 Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Reluctantly we both ordered it. Since we both don't like mayonnaise and tomato we decided to order it plain. 

My first bite into sandwich was quite dry so I put some ketchup on it. After my new adjustment I bit again. The spicy bursts quenched my thirst yet I hungered for more. Both of us sat fully satisfied by this one dollar sandwich. If you happen to have a couple of extra bucks you can amp up your order with some fry's and a drink for two dollars extra.

Go to Carl's Jr. now I promise you will be satisfied by this spicy sandwich. For only a dollar you can satisfy yourself to an amazing lunch. I warn you though they are addicting. 

Swimming

This past Summer my best friend Kassy convinced me to join the Green Valley swim team. I was completely opposed to the idea until my other friend Alicia said she would join if I did to. Hesitant at first because of the early hours of practice but I soon agreed. My summer was filled with practice from 8:00-9:30 every morning and swim meets all day Saturday. I have always loved swimming; every chance I had I was in the water. My parents used to call me a fish because even when we were on vacation and my parents were out doing various activities I would be at back at the condo in the pool. Sadly my Huntington Beach house doesn't have a pool and for a while my passion was subsided. Fortunately, because Kassy influenced me to join Green Valley Swim Team again I was able to relive my passion for swim all over again. Going back to Swim was hard at first but eventually the conditioning became easier. Swimming also brought me closer to my best friends Kassy and Alicia because we would always hang out after swim. If I didn't join swim my Summer would have been filled with lazy days were nothing was accomplished. Instead Swim filled my summer with memories that I will not forget I am so glad I joined the Green Valley Swim Team.
