It's a start.

So, it's been over a full week since the new year began. How does it feel? 
Have you been keeping up with your resolutions so far? 
If not, don't get down on yourself, but at the same time, don't give up! Try starting up again, and keep up the good work, either way (whether it's keeping going or starting again). 

Thus far, I've been doing alright with my list, I think. Maybe I haven't followed it to a t, but I don't want to overwhelm myself and get discouraged. Instead, I'd like to praise myself for what I've done. Surprisingly, I seem to head more for the goal when I do this.

It might be just me, but I feel like I've been talking to some family members and friends quite a bit this week. Grant it, many of those reached out to me first which made it much easier, but it still feels great to be in touch! Love it!

My classes have just begun, so I'll check out that school work resolution shortly...like right after posting this blog...I actually already started, but there's more to do! I just need to focus... I've pretty much always been a procrastinator.

Food & Exercise: Biggest accomplishment so far. I've been using the myfitnesspal app every day so far since the new year, and although I ate pretty unhealthy last week, I'm doing much better this week. It really had been helping realize what I'm putting into my body, and making me think twice before I grab that huge second helping and add on unneeded snacks. As for the gym: Woo! I've made it at least every other day! (This doesn't include New Year's Day. I mean, come on.) I'm not doing anything too insane just yet, but just the fact that I'm going pumps me up.  

  I haven't really worked on a art project this week, but have been playing DrawSomething with Dan & a few other people. That works for now. It's fun, interesting, and sometimes just plain funny. 

Btw: That is an evil squirrel to your left. Yes, squirrels are all EVIL! (Story for another time if you don't already know it. Just remind me.)

Annnddd, this is the belated blog for the week. I had to share some updates. So yeah, I'm missing some things, but let's remember: don't worry too much, and be positive about your resolutions.

The miracle isn't that I finished. 
The miracle is that I had the courage to start.
