If you remember I posted some goals for the summer over two weeks ago. I figured I would give an update and also, motivate myself to keep on track. [Come on Emily! You can do it! Be your own cheerleader!]
1. Exercise frequently: I have been failing miserably with this... I think I have exercised maybe three times in the past two weeks. I did just get a new exercise video -- Jillian Michaels 30-day shred. I've heard it is tough, but worth it. I am hoping to get into it soon and I'll let you know how I feel afterwards.
2. Spend less money. We have been eating out less than when I made this a goal, so that is a plus. I vote yes, we are doing ok in this area.
3. Take time out of each day to reflect and be thankful. I still need to do more of this. I have been a little sick (with a stupid lasting cough) these past few days, but I should definitely be thankful to have the medicine to make me feel better and clean water to norish my body with.
4. Write more. Nope. I did update my blog though. Does that count?
Overall, I obviously have to keep going, but I still think these goals are important to both my health and my future plans.
In other news, I gave blood today. I didn't pass out either! I felt a little bit light-headed, so I laid back down for a minute or two, but now I feel great and I really hope my blood goes to a person who really needs it.
I am reading "My Sister's Keeper" currently and I really like it. I am a bit concerned though because I am reading it on the train from work and I can already tell it is going to make me cry at some point. I don't want to be that lady on the T...

I'm Baaaaack!
Sorry for that random hiatus there... but I am back! I have lots of pictures to post/edit then post for your viewing pleasure.
I gave up on the weekly photos. I just want to photograph my life and the things going on and maybe someday I will start back up posting photos every day. Right now, I am going to focus on making myself (and Andrew, of course) happy. So, I am making a list of goals for the summer. Perhaps I will update every now and then about the progress of said goals.
Without further ado... the goals!
1. Exercise frequently. I am trying not to focus on the losing weight aspect, but the more energy/better sleep/just feel better in general aspect.
2. Spend less money. Mostly eating out for dinner less, but also to make better investments in where we spend our money. Oh! Our rent just increased, which thankfully isn't too much of a problem because Andrew just got a new job with a significant pay increase, but still, we need to learn to budget ourselves better for later when we can't be as frivolous.
3. Take time out of each day to reflect and be thankful. Kind of self-explanatory, but last night I was just thinking about how selfish I feel sometimes and I am hoping this goal reminds me how lucky I am every single day.
4. Write more. When I was younger, I found keeping a journal to be soothing and it really helped me think about my feelings and keep track of what I do day to day. I miss that, so hopefully this blog will be able to become a journal of sorts. Hopefully with more pictures because who likes a blog without pictures?!
Of course, I want to have a fun, good summer as well, but I assumed that was a given. :) Does anyone else have some goals they have set for the summer? I would be interested in learning what everyone wants to accomplish in two months.

Today I Didn't Even Have to Use My A.K. I Got to Say it Was A Good Day.

So much good today!
It has officially been one month since I started this blog (3-29-11).
Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot (SO cute/adorable/romantic)!
It felt like summer AGAIN!
Had free wine at work!
And took this beautiful picture after eating out with coworkers for lunch!

I Can't Quite Get There 'Cause My Heart's Forsaken Me.
Day 030.
Have I told you I like trees? Well, I do. I think they are one of the prettiest parts of nature. These were taken down the street in the center of town. I love the lamppost shining through the tree branches and it was dusk, so the sky was this lighter blue for a little bit.
Today felt like summer! I feel like it has been forever since summer, at least in New England. Welcome summer!! Come stay for a long, long, LONG while.
