Will you make it to Valentine's Day?

No, not to celebrate the love filled holiday with your "love bug," "pookie pie," or "sugar plum." But will your New Years resolutions make it to Valentine's day? According to The New York Times, four out of five individuals that make New Year's resolutions will break them, and a third of us won't even make it past January. (Another statistic I heard was that our resolutions won't make it past Valentine's day.)

Well, I have to say, without the support from those around you, it can get pretty tough after weeks of working out and eating right with still no signs of success. Well, I'm not going to sit by and watch my resolutions turn into wishful thinking. I'm going to make every effort to stick to my goals.

This year has been the year to get fit! (Yes, I know it's only January 7th, but still... that's the goal.) My whole family is back on the "plan" counting their points, working out, and watching the portion control. My mom joined Weight Watchers and has been sending me some pretty amazing recipes, so I thought I would share some of them with you. And hopefully by blogging about yummy looking, low-cal food, I might actually be inspired to cook a substantial meal (this probably should have been one of my resolutions - cook more.) I also think I'll share some tips on healthy snack foods (or maybe just food in general) worth looking into.

I'll start with today's favorite food: Nabisco's Cream Cheese and Chives Wheat Thins. Can you say DELISH?! They taste just like a Sour Cream and Onion chip! Try to exercise some restraint when opening the box, you'll want to dive right in! Pair them with a wedge of light Laughing Cow Cheese and you've got a great afternoon snack!

Enjoy!
