Up until this point, my blogging has been… less than
consistent. I basically end up blogging
once in a blue moon when I feel inspired or when something major happens. That’s not really how a blog is supposed to
work. I know this, because I actually
spent a semester in college as a student blogger for Notes
from the Digital Frontier on MediaPost.
A good blog is updated regularly and has some sort of consistency in
regard to topic. This blog is none of
those things. So I guess that means it’s
time for a change!
As a recent college grad, I’ve had a lot of big changes in
my life recently. I no longer live on a
college campus, where everything and everyone is within walking distance. I no longer spend 15 hours a week in class,
10 hours working, and the rest of my time is my own. I now live in a place I haven’t spent much
time since high school. All of my best
friends are spread across other states, and I spend 50+ hours a week sitting at
a desk working or sitting in the car driving to work. It’s been a pretty big adjustment, and I have
been struggling in a lot of areas. One
thing I have been gradually getting better at is trying new things. Since graduating college just under a year
ago, I have tried boot camp and yoga classes, I have learned to crochet, I
bought a sewing machine and have made 5 baby blankets and a few other projects,
I’ve discovered that running can be fun, and I’ve taken some big personal and
professional development steps!
As some of you may know, a few weeks back I decided I was
going to try waking up every day at 4am.
Needless to say, I was unsuccessful.
But I am planning on trying
again. This is just one of many
lifestyle changes I am trying to make these days. I am also trying to get back into a routine
of exercising regularly. I want to take
horseback riding lessons. I want to manage my money better. I want to eat healthier. I want to blog more!
So what does this mean for Knee Deep? Here’s what you can expect from this blog
moving forward:
- A strong focus on change and development
- Topics including cooking/recipes, exercise, health, travel, and crafts (some with tutorials)
- At least 2 posts per week – This is my current goal; it may become more frequent as I get the hang of things.
- A positive attitude!
For the next several weeks, there will be two main topics:
- I’ve decided to go vegetarian for “Meatless May” – expect to hear about my challenges and successes with this new idea, as well as some recipes and meal plans.
- I just started the Spring into Shape Bootcamp Challenge on SparkPeople and will possibly post about that as well. I joined SparkPeople in November, but haven’t really gotten into it yet – it seems like a great resource though!
