I'm not good at this and I have no excuses. I started a blog because my sweet friend Margie talked about her blog all the time and I was very curious! Anything Margie does is fun! Well I loved the idea but it was too hard to keep up with the blog when I could barely keep up with school. Now school is over and I want and need to do better. I think I will really thank myself years down the road when I can look back and read about things we did, no matter how big or small. I can count on one hand how many pictures John and I have taken since we got married. It's sad! So, starting today I'm going to document more of what goes on in our lives, which will probably be so boring for most! Sorry ahead of time!
I have tons of areas that need improvement in my life and maybe writing them down will hold me more accountable. So here goes!
1. Exercise- Holy cow. I never thought I would call myself lazy, and as a whole, I'm not. But in the exercise department I have been so lazy in the past year. It's gone on for too long now. I use to run all the time and could run for miles. I LOVED it! It was something that I enjoyed and it made me feel so good. I get out of breath just walking up stairs now :(
Goal: Exercise for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week.
2. Cooking- I need tons of improvement in this area! It all comes down to planning ahead. We eat out so much these days. If I would plan ahead we wouldn't get caught starving with nothing in the freezer and make a mad dash to the first fast food place we come across. It would save money, time, and our waist lines!
Goal: Meal plan on Saturday, grocery shop on Sunday, eat out once a week or less.
3. Dog walking-My poor pups. They have been so neglected in this area. I walk them everyday (several times) to go the restroom but I never walk them for leisure. We just go outside, tinkle, and come straight back inside. Partly because it's 100 degrees outside but mainly because I'm being lazy. They love to walk and NEED to walk to burn off some of their energy and to keep them healthy. (I can't wait to have a fenced backyard!)
Goal: 30 minute leisure walk every other day.
4. Cleaning- I'm pretty good in this area but I need some improvement. Our apartment stays fairly clean but I need to get into a good cleaning routine. I clean sporadically and that annoys me. I'd like to clean once a week on a specific day and just "pick up" the rest of the days.
Goal: Clean top to bottom one day a week (probably Friday) and just maintain the rest of the week.
Hopefully I can do better! I've been in kind of a rut lately and just need to start fresh!
