Goals.
1. Stop being the typical girl with zero muscles.
- I'm going to the gym and going to try a structured workout I heard about. It has several different exercises and you focus on a different part of the body each day. I'm hoping to ease into it and actually gain the muscles needed to do the exercises, it will just take a little time. This involves
- not being afraid of the weight room. God there's just so many machines that I am undoubtedly doing to look like a moron trying to figure out how to use. Whatever.
- Going 6 times a week.
- Going straight to bed when I get home and not eating a bunch of garbage.
- Not stopping running. I'm hoping to go 2-3 miles 2-3 times a week.
- Changes to be made
- lean, toned thighs
- tight, toned abs
- legitimate upper body strength
- back dimples
3. Ski Welch
4. House projects
- Stain the upstairs bathroom cabinets
- Pick paint colors
- New Doors
5. Take better care of myself mentally and physically.
Travel.
1. Mexico to see Cliff and Giselle
2. Fort Collins in the spring with Amy
3. Possibly Greece and Italy in the fall with Tally
4. Somewhere with Justin, hopefully involving music and dancing.
Hobbies.
1. Crochet and use up all that yarn.
2. Read more.
... that's all I got
And every post needs a recipe so here you go.
Buckeyes
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 pound confectioners sugar
1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
- Cream together sugar and peanut butter then add in the butter until combined. Add the vanilla and mix well. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes or until firm. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on waxed paper. Stick each ball with a toothpick to be used later when dipping in melted chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave by warming on high for 1 minute and 30 second, stirring every 30 seconds, and then for 45 more seconds, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth. Use a toothpick to dip balls into the melted chocolate, leaving a small uncovered area so balls resemble buckeyes. Place balls on waxed paper. Use fingers to blend in toothpick holes. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Enjoy!
