September Wrap-Up

My computer froze and then wouldn't re-boot last night, RIGHT in the middle of my September recap post. Work has been way too busy this week to try to blog on my lunch hour, so here's a short recap a day late:

Theme: Energize

• Organize: This was a resolution I did very well at! I knocked out my to-do list, got my entire room at the new place unpacked and organized, gave myself 3-5 small tasks to finish each day, and managed to get all my boxes of "give away/sell" stuff out of the closet at my parents' house and it is in my Oma's garage sale this weekend!
• Blog: This was a big frustration. I originally planned on blogging daily, but between getting sick, having computer malfunctions, and the pressure of having to blog daily, I wasn't able to. I think I am going to make this resolution a little flexible for the rest of the project and only blog a few times a week when I really want to, that way I'm not just posting fluff. And if I'm unable to because of technical reasons, then I won't be stressing out that I can't.
• Healthy Body: I haven't actually weighed myself, but I've made a lot of progress in trying to eat healthier. I'm eating less processed foods and cooking a lot more. I usually eat vegetarian during the week, and then eat meat on the weekends when I'm eating with Matt or my family. Working out wise, I did the 1-week trial at Gold's Gym and loved it. I can get pretty cheap monthly discounts at my local gyms, but I haven't committed to anything yet, because I worry about locking myself into a 1-year contract. I need to try to see if anyone offers month-to-month contracts.

Overall, it wasn't a perfect first month, but I did feel a lot more organized and I'm learning more in the kitchen, reading labels at the grocery store, and looking forward to the next year of resolutions!
