Task #1: Try out my new juicer :)

Ok so maybe this isnt the most exciting task in the world but I got a juicer for Christmas from my mother and I decided to try it out for the first time. I also tried a new recipe to couple with the juice which was both healthy and delicious, Shrimp Tabbouleh Salad (if anyone wants the recipe just ask!).
The main reason I'm posting about my first juicing experience is because I have some alterior motives ;) I'm trying to prepare myself for my first short-term fasting (hopefully at some point this year). I've never tried anything like it and I wanted see if it would be something I could handle. I gotta say that a mix of carrots, celery, apples and parsley make a really scrumptious juice so I'm looking forward to more trials with juicemaking and further prep for a fast. Recently, I've been reading about the perks of short-term fasts as well as a purification plan in general. I'm trying to be a good girl this year (well, a better, healthier girl ;)) and I thought I'd start with my diet which I know definitely needs to be renovated at times. I do love fried food...or most food in general heehee.
So that's the first task, completed successfully and I'm pretty proud of myself. If you know of any other delicious juicing recipes you've tried or any books you've read about fasting that you would suggest please comment!

The Plan

Ok let the Socially Awkward Adventures of 2012 BEGIN! My plan is to develop tasks and goals throughout the year. These mini-projects could be anywhere from reading a book and discussing how it's relevant to my life or describe any advice I have gained from the book to trying a sport or outdoor activity I have never experienced before. This blog I believe will take a lot of patience and discipline but I am very excited about it!

I need your help readers to brainstorm on a few tasks of your own and then maybe we can complete them together!

For those awkward ones out there this blog is for YOU!!

First New Year's Resolution!

This year I am actually trying to stick to my New Year's resolutions (fat chance but worth a shot) and one of them is to make a blog. I have no experience whatsoever but I thought it would be fun to test it out. Wish me luck!
