So, I fell off the wagon a bit, but I'm back. This week I plan to eat vegetarian all week, except for the remaining pizza that I made yesterday. I thought I was going to make it Wednesday or Thursday, but somehow didn't get around to it until Saturday, so I have two days worth left. It's got one chicken sausage on the whole thing, so I guess half a chicken sausage during the week is better than eating meat every day.

Also, this whole being an adult thing sort of sucks, but that's a post for another day.

Failure!

I utterly failed at reading the New Yorker. I read half a New Yorker, a bunch of trashy magazines, and I finished a book. So I did a lot of reading, but not that much of the New Yorker.

This week, I will eat healthy and exercise 20 min a day (at least). I will also try and get my apartment back on track, cleanliness wise. That's a lot to do.

Week 2 Results

This week I resolved to clean my apartment so that it would be clean when my parents get here tomorrow. I thoroughly cleaned my kitchen and bathroom, including mopping the floor. Normally I just sweep, but I felt a good mopping was in order. I also busted out my generic magic eraser, which did not work as well as advertised. I put some OxyClean on the outside of the microwave door, since that's the only thing that really breaks down grease. I wonder if I could OxyClean my baking sheets? I swept up so much dust that my allergies are terrible, and I vacuumed my carpets. I also shredded about two years worth of credit card bills, hole-punched and put away a bunch of loose recipes, and stacked my New Yorkers into two neat piles. There are still a few things that I just hid instead of putting them away, but I'd say that overall the apartment looks pretty clean.

Since my parents are getting here tomorrow, I don't know if I'll be able to get anything done, but I'll try. Since we're going to the Cape for the weekend, and it will probably rain, instead of spending time online, I will try and read 2-3 New Yorkers.

Resolution, Week 1 Results

In which I update you on my summer project. This week I decided to put away my clothes after wearing them, instead of throwing them on the floor. I would consider this a success. Some items were easier than others to deal with; pants and shoes, specifically. Shirts were more difficult, since they require more folding. I think the key is to put away all my clothes within 24 hours of doing laundry, otherwise I Just have a giant pile of clothes that needs to be put away, so what's a few more? I say within 24 hours, rather than right away, since I air dry some of my clothes, which takes a bit of time. All in all, I think I succeeded in keeping this week's resolution, and hopefully I'll be able to keep up the momentum. I should be able to, because my parents are coming to visit next week, which brings me to

WEEK 2 RESOLUTION:
Clean my apartment before my parents get here. This will include putting away the laundry I just did today and keeping the floor clean, amongst other things. Mainly, getting my living room organized.

Summer Project

I have decided to start a project for the summer. We'll see how it goes. Every Monday, I will write up a weekly resolution, and then Sunday write up how it went. I think weekly resolutions are good, because you can do anything for one week. Hopefully, the habits will continue in subsequent weeks.

This week, I am going to pick up my clothes every night and not toss things on the floor. This means that first I'll have to put my laundry from last week away. Hopefully, I"ll have a clean floor every night when I go to bed.
