2011 Tweeks

Hello 2011! 
Let's see what we have this upcoming year.  4 years ago, my sister and I decided to create something we called “tweeks”, a combination of the words “two” and “weeks”. The purpose of this was that people often create new years resolutions that last about two weeks. Well, cut the crap and make twenty-six two-week resolutions. That way, you've succeeded 26 times instead of failing miserably all year?

2 - No smoking in the car (Jan. 15-28)
3 - read a book (Jan 29-Feb 11)
4 - No verbal negativity (Feb 12-25)

7 - get up at 7am (March 26-April 8)
8 - spend $50 on food (April 9-22)
9 - hour of bible reading daily (April 23-May 6)
10 - drink nothing but water (May 7-20)

12 - No staying up past 11pm (June 4-17)
13 - walk at least a mile 5 times a week (June 18-July 1)

Introduction

What better time than now for an introduction?

My name is Caity. I'm 21, just moved to WA from CO and still figuring out my life here. I'm going to use this blog to document the craziness that I'm sure 2011 will bring.
I will be doing a series of short term New Years resolutions, called "tweeks", but more on that later. I'm also waiting until the 5th to pick up my boyfriend who is moving here from Colorado, and I will be moving in Seattle soon also, so this year will be quite the adventure.

To infinity and beyond,
Caity
