I'm bad at this whole taking-pictures-and-writing-about-it thing.
So here's an update on all those goals I set out to accomplish at the beginning of the summer. I thought I'd better get this post out of the way, considering it's on the brink of fall here in west Michigan.
- Become a morning person
- WIN! (sorta) Although I'm still partial to sleeping in when I have the chance, I usually go to bed at 11 pm and wake up around 7 on weekdays and 9 on weekends. And I do this all with minimal napping! I give myself a pat on the back for this one.
- Become a runner
- Summer FAIL, fall WIN! I'm just starting to get into running, now that I'm back at school and less lazy. Better late than never. My goal is to be running 6 miles, 4 times a week by the end of the semester.
- Become "crafty"
- Didn't happen, probably never will. I'm just not creative. At all. This blog, and the food I make for it, is the closest I come to creativity.
- Bible crash course
- FAIL. I'm going to have to put this one on my fall goal list.
- Go 'vegan" ish
- FAIL because I realized I like cheese too much, and the occasional egg or fish dish. I like to eat vegan, and do so often, but I'll never be a full-on vegan girl.
- Family time/family health plan
- FAIL but not for lack of trying. My family just was not having it. On the plus side, my mom and I are having a weight-loss contest amongst ourselves, including weekly inspirational emails amongst each other, and weekly weigh-ins.
- Volunteer or work at a nursing home
- FAIL. I didn't have the time to do this this summer, so I'm working on getting a job at a nursing home this fall.
- READ! READ! READ!
- WIN! WIN! WIN!
- Get my daily dose of Vitamin D (AKA sunshine)
- WIN, literally and figuratively. Not only did I spend ample amounts of time outside, I also added vitamin D to my daily vitamin regiment.
So without, getting into winded explanations, here are my fall goals:
- Get As in every class
- Spend time in the Word on a daily basis
- Mother-daughter weight-loss (expect weekly posts of this nature)
- Run 6 miles, 4 times per week, by the end of the semester
- Drop 2 pants sizes
- Work at a nursing home or medical clinic
- Develop many meaningful relationships
- Fall related activities!
- Bed by ten on school nights (all 8ams=yikes)
I've missed blogging! It very therapeutic. Expect food-related posts soon!
