My First Entry! My First Blog!

My first blog. My first entry in my first blog. My name is Becky. I am 29 years old. I've started this blog to document my life. To hold myself accountable to the goals that I am going to set out within the blog. I'm going to use this as a forum for expressing who I'd like to be as a person, working towards healthy goals. I also plan to chronicle my gardening adventures this summer. I have plans for a small garden planted according to square-foot gardening prinicples. It should be an interesting adventure. Eventually I would like to be able to grow a lot of my own food and learn to store it and harvest seeds so that the cost is bare minimum.

So what type of person do I want to be? I see myself as this perfectionist. I see myself having a clean house, getting up early, eating well, exercising daily, taking good care of my friends and family. Unfortunately my ideal and my reality are two very different extremes. I am fairly messy, quite lazy, and ultimately the exact opposite of my goals.

Today will be the start of a brand new day. Today will be the day that I turn around, take a breath, and start over. Okay, it's midnight so tomorrow, since I'm heading to bed. Tomorrow I will be my ideal. I will love myself, respect myself, and learn to take small steps for a better me.

I will get up when my alarm sounds, have a shower, brush my teeth, get dressed, make my bed, pack clothes (going back home) and then head upstairs for a quick bite to eat. I want to buy some makeup, because I see myself as a makeup person who is just too lazy to bother putting it on. I'd also like to buy a few groceries so that I have healthy food when i get home, but this may have to wait until I've planned out some meals.

When I get home I want to spend 30 minutes on laundry. I want to fold and put away the clothes not just wash them and let them pile up for ever and ever. I work tomorrow night, so my hope is that I will get a dog walk in, then a nap, and then I'll put some of that new makeup on, and header to work.

Oh to have plans, things are going to be good.

Feel free to leave comments. I'd love the support.

Becky.
