Week 1 Round-up: How'd I do?

Week one of 2012 has come and gone.  Let's see how I did!

Resolution 1: Take better care of myself

I flossed every day this week!  Yay!  By the way, did you know that it is really hard to floss behind your back molars?  Hopefully, practice makes perfect.

I exercised twice this week!  Check out my post on Tummy Tone Party Zone, my first installment of my Netflix Instant Watch challenge.

I slept for 8 hours every night.  Of course, this was fairly easy as I'm still on winter break...we'll see how things go once I have to wake up at 5:00 every morning for work.

Resolution 2: Stay in touch with my family

I talked to my Mom twice this week.

I talked to my Dad twice this week.

I talked to my sister twice this week.

I started composing letters to my grandma and aunt...mentally.  In my  head.  It has yet to appear on paper.  But it will.

Resolution 3: Stay organized

I completed this month's home improvement project!  I'll share pictures and details in the upcoming week.
I have been using my planner every day to keep track of important dates and write down to-do lists.  It has been wonderful so far.  My grandma told my mom that I was the first one to call her and wish her a happy birthday.  Thanks, planner!

Cleaning...I have not done it.  My home improvement project took a while to complete, and I just finished it this afternoon, so I have yet to clean up the aftermath.  But! I washed out my vacuum's HEPA filter earlier this week, per my doctor's instructions AND David and I cleaned out the fridge today, so that kind of makes up for it...right?

Resolution 4: Save money

I haven't been working, so I haven't been packing lunches...but I have eaten leftovers for lunch almost every day (except for Thursday, when I had a lunch date with a friend).

I made three vegetarian meals this week!  Check them out here.

Well, you could say that my home improvement project is also a DIY project.  I mean, I DID do it myself.

The verdict? I haven't perfect, but I think I've been doing pretty well.  Plus, imperfection means that there's room for improvement!  I hope that I can keep everything up once my schedule gets crazy again.

  1. Keep it up Alli! You're doing better than I am! I didn't really have any firm resolutions...but I feel like I'm already failing any impulses towards bettering myself. So you must continue...for the both of us! (no pressure.)
