Ok, so I am not off to a good start, but today was pretty good. I took my vitamins (Skull reminded me, I think he tires of my constant lack of energy) and I went grocery shopping and got lots of fruit and veggies (forgot raisins though) and now I am making a BIG pot of tomato sauce, but the fruit/veggie count for today (including what I will have with dinner) is 3 servings..unless I have some salad with dinner....that would bring it to 4...maybe fruit for dessert? that would be 5. Hmm, I just looked up the food pyramid and for my height, weight and activity level I should eat 8 1/2 cup servings of fruits and veggies each day (3 servings fruit, 5 veg)....I think I will stick with 5 for now...
Also I didn't exercise today, other then walking to Food 4 Less and I said that doesn't count nor was I up before 9...or even 10...but this will be a meat free dinner YEA

I have returned
Fear not, o faithful blog readers, for I have returned! I have been a little absent lately mostly because of being busy at work and well, kind of lazy and also, lets be honest I am a pretty boring person so its not like I have tons to write about. Anyway, I have also been sick, and in being sick I thought about myself when I am healthy and realized that I am not very healthy....even while...being...healthy. So I have vowed to myself to make some changes in my life (these are NOT New Years Resolutions btw, their timing is coincidental) and they are:
1) I will wake up by 9 am everyday (shut up Dad, that is an accomplishment)
2) I will spend 15 minutes of each day engaging in activity for activities sake (aka dancing, yoga stretching...but walking to work does not count)
3) I will actively try to consume 5 servings of fruits and veggies every day
4) I will remember to take my vitamins
5) I will complete at least 1 craft project a week
6) I will have at least 1 meat free night a week
Looking at it seems like a lot but its just 4 things each day and 2 things each week, each just a little bit of a change from my current schedule (ie waking up at 9 instead of 10, having raisins instead of gummy snacks etc).
The reason I am telling you this? I really need someone to keep me accountable...so please just poke at me every once in a while, and I will try and make updates on here.

Beki: An Introduction
I have decided to start a blog, I guess thats a little self evident though. I have been slowly going crazy over the last 2 years from not really having any kind of an outlet for my thoughts so I submit them now to the great wide world of the internet, mostly just to get them out of my head. I have no illusions of grandeur, this blog will not make me a millionaire, or even cause me to reach the lower middle class, it won't make me famous, I will be entirely shocked if its read by someone who isn't related to me, but it is what it is. I make no promises to post regularly either, and I may recycle things I have written else where, but here it is....enough grand-standing lets get to business.
Today I started feeling normal again. Over the last year or so I have been feeling less and less like myself, it started with a bit of depression, I kind of moped about, listened to a lot of Alkaline Trio and The Cure and went about life. Then it got worse, but in a weird way, I didn't start harboring any destructive tendencies or anything like that, I just kind of...stopped. I stopped listening to music almost entirely (very odd for me), I stopped cooking unless I had to, and even then what I made was easy and without inspiration. Anyway, I am starting to feel that lift now, I attribute it to changing jobs mostly. I really felt like cooking today, I am excited to make something again tomorrow and I was listening to music while I did it! OK, so its still Alkaline Trio and The Cure but I think thats more to be mellowing out in my old age then being depressed. Anyway, I have lost my train of thought since Skull came home and we are going to go watch Diary of a Wimpy Kid so I will big you adieu and leave you with this bouquet of parentheses (((((((()))))))) (and if you understand the reference, I am your eternal friend).
