Netflix...I have a love-hate relation with it. On the one hand, it means I can get yoga and pilates workout videos whenever I want. On the other hand, I've been watching, on average, 3 movies a day on weekends and about 5 episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer a day during the school week.  I need an intervention.  Maybe someone should come over and make snowmen with me or a snow fort or both because the snow is good for that finally. 

I've been wicked health-conscious lately. It might be getting a little extreme.  I'm constantly checking nutrition facts on food for fat content and carbs.  I don't think I can lower my carb intake much since I don't eat meat but I don't think I'll have a problem with that with all the exercising I've been doing.  I get home from school, ski 20 minutes on the Nordic Track, do yoga for about 45 min, then around 30 min of pilates along with the classic ab exercise from dance so that's another 5ish minutes.  After that I track my food intake on mypyramid.gov which is wonderful.  And I don't eat after 8.  Wii Fit is also pretty great with tracking the physical stuff.  I haven't done much exercising with that since we got Netflix but it's still pretty fun. One flaw in my plan...I've been angling the Nordic Track to the left so I can watch Rugrats or Buffy while skiing. However, after doing that for about a month I've realized that my left thigh is slightly skinnier than my left and so I figured it's probably due to the fact that I've been putting more weight on my left leg while skiing so I can see the tv.  Fixed that problem hopefully: I angled it to the right now and I'll leave it like that for a month and after that I'll alternate each day.  So far I've stuck to my schedule 95% of the time. The other 5% I'm either really busy or sick.  But I find that if I'm sick, exercising help me get better a lot faster than just lying around.

Oh wait, another problem.  I don't do homework at home or practice all my instruments very much anymore because of Netflix.  At least I have 1.5 studies to do my work and get a practice room if I feel like it.

Also, this will be yet another valentines day where I don't have a date.  Every year I'm single around valentines day. It's like a gap in my dating life.  I've been in quite a few relationships and not one of them has lasted till valentines day. Love sucks. Maybe I'll go on a date with my mother. I owe her one.

I'm really going health crazy. It's like 8th grade all over again.
