My sink is shining!

From the FlyLady:

Go Shine your sink.

After you do this; you will keep it shiny by drying it out after each
time you use it and making sure when you go to bed that it is shining
so it will make you smile in the morning. This is how I get to hug you
each day! That shiny sink is a reflection of the love that you have for
yourself.

There we go, all 8 plans!

Misc. Plans

Book Plan: Every day I plan to read for 30 minutes. Probably some of this should be for school.

School Plan: Every day I should do one thing to work towards graduation.

Accountability Plan: Every day send an email, mail a letter, or make a call that I need to. This one more than any other goes along the line of do one thing every day that scares you.

I know there are some traditional areas of improvement that I have not addressed in any plan. For example I don't do anything to keep up with current events or being more social because I'm happy with my levels in these areas. Alternately, I don't have anything about drinking or other bad habits like television viewing because I don't want to make changes in these areas, no matter how beneficial it might be.

I am not a pretty girl

Tan girls, stripped shirt girls, pretty girls... call them what you will, just know that I am certainly not one of them. My 30 day plan for this is not a makeover by any means, I'd just like to look better. To meet this end there are two plans: the pretty plan and the body plan.

The Pretty Plan: I am going to shower every day (as compared to the once every three days I shower now) On top of that each day I am going to do one of three things- shave my legs, do my hair, or go tanning. Also, I'll start wearing clean clothes more often although that might be in connection with improvements in cleaning.

The Body Plan: I need to lose weight but the 30 days is not the time for drastic crazy diet. My plan for this is to walk at least 30 minutes a day, not eat candy, and not drink sugar pop. These things are doable and will hopefully be permanent changes.

Veggie Patties... Yum Yum?

For 30 Days I will be eating vegetarian. I am making a clear distinction between being vegetarian and eating vegetarian mainly so I don't get too much flack about it. I haven't looked into too much to be honest, but I will learn as I go and use the many veggie friends around me as valuable meatless resources. There are two motivations behind this plan. 1) I've never tried eating vegetarian before and figure I should and 2) I eat too much fast food, primarily meat, and this will help cut down on that. Plus I don't really feel I need to consume the life force of another being in order to be happy.

Day One!

So I didn't finish putting up my plans yesterday. It's not that I wasn't thinking about them, I was just torn away from my laptop. So, without further ado, I will complete the descriptions of my plan and then embark!

Beginner Baby Steps

I love the FlyLady. I really, really do. She calls me precious and tells me things like, "You can do this, you have just needed someone to pat you on the back and give you a great big hug to get you started." And you know, I think I can. I'm a messy person, quite frankly my bedroom is a nasty pit and if it weren't for my roommates the rest of my house would be too. I've taken over the laundry room as my own person hamper. Sorry RMs. Although I'm leaving this house in a month I'll hopefully have better habits. With the FlyLady by my side I simply can't fail.
