I can sure tell WW has changed me. Honestly I don't think I will ever stop wanting a big bowl of cookies and cream ice cream or a hot fudge brownie sundae. I just love desert; it is my weakness. Those of you who really know me know that at Thanksgiving or Christmas that I first go to the desert table and decide which desert I will have at the end of the meal. (It is my favorite part when they bring out all those delicious deserts that I know is not good for me.) From there, I will fill my plate with "regular" food eating lots of veggies and some protein, but my plate usually looks empty being that I save my points for what comes at the end of the meal. Now I can't wait to veggies that have be cooked on the grill (my new favorite thing.) or sautéed in a pan. And if you grill some pineapple as well, I will be in heaven.
Yesterday I really started train for The Color Run in November. I know I have plenty of time, but I wanted to see how long it would take me if the I did race tomorrow. According to my Nike+ app, I ran/walk/jogged a 5K in roughly about one hour. I did a lot better. My goal for the race is the finish in 40-45 minutes if not faster. Like I said a few sentences back, this was a preliminary run/walk/jog. Now it is time to get my butt in gear.
I will be WDW in a little over two weeks. I am so excited. This trip may throw me off my game a bit. I will try to track everything I eat and try to not go crazy, but I am not holding any promises. I can wait to eat my Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwich and the bacon cheeseburger.

** spoiler alert ** OMG this was one of the best books I have read. I know it around 12:30 in the morning. I just finished this book, and I have to write something before I lose what I want to say. I may add some more later. It was over before I knew. I thought I had about 100 pages left but all of a sudden it was done. I have read countless reviews of this book; the majority of the readers didn't like the ending. I couldn't disagree more. I wish I hadn't known about the sequel before reading this book. The ending to me was perfect. For me, I was left with the hope of the future; it was like Gayle Foreman was letting her readers decide the outcome for themselves. She was kind of letting her readers make up there own mind whether are not Adam and Mia stayed together or never saw each other.
The story started out with a fun-loving and caring family all spending the day together on a "snow day." Then tragedy strikes. When I read the very descriptive account of Mia's ghost (lack of a better world) was seeing upon "waking up," I couldn't help remember the day I had flipped my car three times driving home from school my freshman year of college. Though my accident had minor injuries and I was extremely lucky, it was eerily similar. I couldn't imagine if something similar like Mia's experience happened to me. I don't know which choice I would have choose. To take the easy way out and die or the hard road a live.
I loved how the story went back and forth between the present and Mia's past. I loved all the characters that were introduced through Mia's memories. My favorite characters were Mia and Adam; I loved there relationships. Like Mia's mother talked about how Adam and Mia's love came at the wrong time, I couldn't help believe that their type of relationship came at the wrong time; their type of relationship wasn't supposed to happen at seventeen. I feel as thought their relationship might be one for the long hall and will stand the test of time. I hope that one day I too will have that type of relationship.
Now it is on to the sequel, "Where She Went." I hear that is told in Adam's perspective, which should be interesting. It will be nice to hear his POV instead of Mia's. I hope that Foreman touches on what his feelings were at the time of the accident.
