Chef Shnell-ardee?

Okay so mostly for myself, I need to write the progress of my goals and how well my domestic-ness is going so far...

Okay, so one goal I had for this year was to go to bed at 11 and wake up at 7.  Although I am usually about an hour or so behind this, I'm doing a MUCH better job going to bed early and waking up early.  As awful as getting ready before walking across campus to my SW Practice II class is, I have class from 9 am until 3 pm so I really have no option but to just get ready!

Sidenote: My classes thus far include Social Work Practice II, Mental Health, Social Deviance, Criminal Law and Justice, SW Practice III, and Natural Disasters (18 credits later and turns our I still won't graduate on time...)

With all this sleeping and eating better, I am trying to just maintain a healthier life style. This includes no tanning (which is harder than you would think.. maybe once a month limit), taking vitamins, drinking more water (and diet coke of course) and exercising more (3 times a week minimum goal)

So, as far as my cooking goals, it really was such a joke over winter break and I did nothing, but since I've been up at school I have cooked almost every single meal every day!!!

Every morning I try to drink a green smoothie.. For those of you who don't know what this is it includes:

a handful of spinach
1/2 banana
frozen blueberries
yogurt
orange juice

(okay so actually you can put in whatever you want this is just what I have so that what goes in..)

Blend it all up... and breakfast is served!

I have even cooked lunch and dinner for myself! One of these meals was Enchiladas! So we got the recipe from Pinterest (obvs) and me, Loose, Lexi, and Lil had a friendship dinner and cooked it and ate these delicious chocolate truffles for dessert! Such a team effort but it was so delicious and worth it!

Okay so, turns out I'm still a little bit of an embarrassment, but I'm doing much better.

 Another thing I am doing is making time for reading...
I don't know if anyone has heard of The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, but I would strongly recommend it. I'm so happy I started reading at the start of a new year because it has kept me motivated to stick to my goals! With my future 18 credits going to take up the majority of my life I am going to try and finish it next week so I can focus more on school (and start a new book. Crazy by Pete Early to be exact)

Oh and if you haven't already heard, another goal is to get find myself a boyfriend and get married this year... SIKE

There are still so many things that I need to work on and want to do with my life, but hey its only the eighteenth, and so far so good.


but like I always say... "The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me."
