Good Things, Not So Good Things, Moving Forward

As assumed, some things have been going better than other things as I really get going starting this process - that's okay though, it's meant to be that way! You can't expect everything to change overnight but, that said, there have been a lot of good things!

Good Things -

• I walked a ton the past couple days (well, a ton for me!)
• When I did do a good job with food, I did a very good job (including finding this awesome new breakfast restaurant called The Angry Baker)
• Spent wonderful time with my boyfriend and one of my best friends (and have plans to do so more this weekend!)
• Have been easing in well to getting up earlier again (and staying awake)
• Have had some nice bonding time with critters
• Acquired some healthier food options to have around the house (and have been eating them!)
• Side note: Gala apples are pretty much the best thing ever.
• Have been tracking my food relatively well 

Not So Good Things -

• I have not been reading as much as I need to and that's a problem that needs to be fixed asap. I need to get back on the ball with this. Back on the ball with work just generally too. 
• Haven't been able to do much artistically (but have made plans to do so!)
• I totally ate pizza and ice cream. Bah.
• Haven't been getting to bed as early as I'd like but I'm working on it
• Had two pretty terrible headaches within the past few days... I'm not sure what to make of that. That doesn't help with getting things done though, that's for sure. 

At the Kroger today, they had little rose plants with trellises on sale for only $4 so I got one and brought it back home with me. I don't have the best track record with plants (I had a similar rose plant in undergrad and it sadly perished pretty quickly) but I have high hopes for this one!

Isn't she pretty? Please keep your fingers crossed for her ;).

There's something about having flowers inside that I just love so much. I'm always buying bouquets and things because they really just cheer me up instantly. It's something quite magical and soul-filling for me. I love dried flowers too, so those bouquets come in handy! Like I said though, this is my first attempt in a long time to keep a living plant. One thing I've noticed for sure is that it really smells amazing in here now because of it! The scent is much stronger. I love the color too... most people wouldn't guess it (as I'm far more likely to wear darker colors) but I have a not-so-secret love for hot pink :).

My next adventure today will be this:

It says for beginners but we'll see...!
