A new month

I am going from being absolutely bored out of my mind last night....to not being able to catch my breath today. I wish I had last night back!

So I started the food tracker this morning - wrote everything down at breakfast....and that's where it stopped. Ugh!! I hate that. But on a happy note, I did my 5 km walk today. It's starting to feel good and I miss it when it isn't there. Did I happen to mention that I went on my own on Friday?? Without my friend?? Quite proud of myself,I must say. That was before I came home and decided I should eat, without tracking it. TOMORROW.

I've been thinking about this whole process. Thinking about what other things in my life are disorganized and sloppy and not streamlined.

Being mostly a creative brain, I don't do well with routine and functionality and consistency. I tend to enjoy the 'tangents' in life. The blurred frenzy of a new idea and a new vision of a project that has great hope and expectancy in the caverns of my brain. It makes me excited and hopeful and full of life. Sometimes it lasts until the project is complete, but mostly it falls victim to my inconsistent work ethic. Basically that means if it isn't fun any longer, it doesn't get done. Persistance is not one of my strong points.

Now, I have to admit that I have had some success in certain areas. I have completed tasks (well, certain tasks for sure if you call cooking for my family most days for the past 18 years consistent)and have felt the pleasure of completion, and I must say the whole 'pleasure of completion' is quite powerful and affirming. There is even a tiny bit of pride that makes me feel a little superior as I complete a task.

But, where was I? Oh right - the whole disorganized thing.

Here's my thought...what if I started to declutter some of the things that need decluttering? My jewellery chest, for example. I could probably get rid of half of the things in there. Every morning when I get ready for work I tell myself that I really need to get clean it out. This conversation has been going on several months.

Would that help me in my pursuit of losing weight?
