Here we gooooo! (Peter Pan, anyone?)
How am I preparing for the new semester?
So glad you asked. ;)
~ I've been working over the past couple of evenings on gathering new (and cheap) recipes! I decided to be more adult-like in my lifestyle this year, so instead of finding the easiest foods to eat (which typically means running over to Taco Bell), I'm going to be cooking more. I love to cook, but last year I discovered that I don't know how to cook for 1, so my meals actually last me about a week. Also, I learned that I don't feel like cooking until I'm hungry, and when I'm hungry, I want to eat right away! Enter in determination #1: cook more, eat healthier, and plan ahead.
~ During the school year, I typically restrict myself to reading only books I need to get through for school. These books are GREAT, don't get me wrong, it's just that at times, I need a mental break. So, I dug up a few books that I've received during Christmases past that I still have not gotten around to reading. Determination #2: do a bit of light reading before bed each night.
~ Last year, I was haphazardly healthy. I ran a little, ate a piece of fruit or two, and thought about riding my bike. This year, I plan on actually being healthy. My parents gave me a blender for Christmas last month (please, spare me your "Father of the Bride" comments as I was quite happy to get it), and I plan on using it to make lots of smoothies. Determination #3: ride bike to work, run once a week, drink smoothies.
No, these are not New Year's Resolutions because resolutions fizzle out about two days into the new year. These are things I am determined to do in the hopes that I'll enjoy life more! Join me in my new adventure in active living!
This is looking like it'll be a great year!
