About Owl Always DIY

I began growing an interest in cute owls, I don't know why but collection is starting to grow here and there.

I have been going on and off about blogging on here for a few years but I feel like I am going to be more determine to keep up with it since my associate's degree is only four classes away. This blog is pretty much about D.I.Y-ing (hence the name), leaning toward a vegan (or attempting again) diet and perhaps a lifestyle, living on a budget, learning to go green, and just live.

The choice of going green started with the simple math of saving money such as buying things in bulk means less plastic = $avings! I also donated about eight times since January 2013 to my local Goodwill and that hyped up my urge to go even further with being green.

I'm a business management major on the verge of becoming a tree hugger. I live in a little nutshell with my boyfriend for the past six years with two pomeranians and an overjoyed holland lop rabbit. I have been working in the medical field since 2010 and four months away from graduating with my Associate's degree in Business management. I hate to brag but I am the brains behind this blog but my boyfriend is the ultimate handy man, so any projects posted with hardware included, we will give thanks to him :)

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you get inspired by our journey (slowly but surely) to a vegan, eco-friendly, and budget friendly life.

Workout Resolution

I am not going to lie and sugar coat anything. I am not going to say working out is easy, losing weight is a piece of cake (but it does taste good), or results will pop up in a couple of days. It takes dedication, motivation, and self-control. I worked out for about 2 1/2 months and lost about 25 pounds (that's 2 1/2 pounds a week). I drank 4 liter of water, ate clean, worked out an hour a day, and stayed focus. It was a matter of self-control and learning. I strayed from that control and unfortunately gained 10 pounds in 4 months (I am crying an ocean right now). Back to that mode again and this time, I am not going to stop until I lose that 10 pounds plus another 10 pounds.

Resolution:

  1. Drink 4 liters of water daily
  2. 30 minutes cardio 6 times a week
  3. 20 minutes stretches 6 times a week, 30 minutes stretches once a week.
  4. 2 pounds shed each week
  5. Goal weight of 120 pounds by May 1, 2013
  6. Start pilates again
What are your resolution this year? I know, I failed for the January workout hype that everyone gets yearly lol. Better late than never right? Plus summer is only 5 months away.
