My Pyramid/Tracker

At this time of year when all the holiday goodies get to you, you say to yourself "My New Year's Resolution will be to lose some weight and stay on a diet." Unfortuneately just saying it isn't going to do anything. If you want to stay healthy this holiday season and ultimately for life, go to these government sponsered websites:

http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/default.htm
This webpage lets you write down what you eat daily, and then tells you if you were right on track with your healthy kick, or if you need to keep working. Scroll down to the bottom of the webpage and click on New User Registration. Completely safe to sign up!

http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx
This webpage shows you exactly what you should be eating according to your age, height, weight, and daily physical activity. Helpful!

Good luck and I hope you stick to it, just like me! (I might just put up a reminder every once and a while for those of you that decide to use these sites.)

"Hey There Delilah" Preview

Below is the preview for The Weekly Harold's story "Hey There Delilah". It may be kind of confusing now, but when you read the prologue on Christmas Eve, it will all make sense.

Has something ever happened to you that changed your life forever? Did you wake up the next morning hoping it was all a dream? And then the giant wave of pain and guilt crashes down on you when you realize that it actually happened. That feeling can make you melt. Inside and out. Maybe I'm still staring into her face, watching Delilah smile for the last time. I don't know. Time has passed but it's stood still. This is my story and I want you to listen...

Remember- CHRISTMAS EVE="hEY tHERE dELILAH pROLOGUE"!

Snow-day Ideas

Yay! NO SCHOOL! You want to know why? Because I slept with a wooden spoon under my pillow! I'm not really sure if that's what did it, but anyways, here are some cool ideas if you get bored today. (This post is for Betty! You go girl!)

• Fill a cup with snow and add your desired amount of maple syrup. So good!
• Take a spray bottle full of water and food coloring and spray-paint the snow. This can look really awesome!
• If you have a fire place today is the perfect day to use it! Build a fire, get a cozy blanket, and make some s'mores! Mmmmmmmm.....!
• Get creative with your snowman. Maybe you could make a snowwoman, cat, dog, or even a big snow tiger! You can use the spray bottles from your graffiti project to paint your snow creations!
• Have a cookie baking party! Invite a couple of friends over and tell them to bring their favorite cookie recipe. Before the day is over you'll have enough cookies for the whole neighborhood!

Have any good snow-day ideas? Let me know! I'm bored!

Riddle for 12/2-12/9

Last week's answer was:

"He wrote 'your exact weight' on a piece of paper!"

This week's question is:

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."
