make a daily "to do" list that i actually follow

Late making the list today, but I got there at last.

• treadmill
• finish emptying clean laundry from baskets and bringing dirty laundry down. sort ithow can 3 people generate so much laundry?
• wash & dry 3 loads of laundry
• work
• call about that bill
• make E practice karate (studio is closed this week, but he has stripe testing next week)
• watch Game of Thrones with S :)

Wow, the last few weeks felt like an endurance feat. And the horrible eating was a direct result, with predictably horrifying results on the scale.

I’m getting back to normal now in every way I can!

• treadmill
• work. finish the cf then maybe the ct? might as well, before I send that form.
• empty baskets of clean laundry 2 out of 3 emptied
• take all laundry to basement and sort one basket made it to the first floor, anyway
• work in the yard a little90 minutes
• send S to grocery store :)

So much going on that I don’t feel ready to talk about. May have some new goals soon. Meanwhile, I worked down in CT yesterday, so I’m getting a slow, tired start to my day today.

• find book that sold, package it up, mail it
• treadmill
• workwill have to do more this weekend though
• phone calls! because I care even if I can’t be there yet

Not really sure why I didn’t make this list yesterday. Oh well.

• treadmill
• workyay I’m so productive
• laundry. goal: 4 loads
• clean off that table hmm, a little bit but not enough to count it
• grocery store? we’re out of peanut butter, which constitutes an emergency in this householdturned out we needed some things at Target so I went there instead, but they sell natural peanut butter too, so all is well

Today is one of those days where it’s a relief to know that you can get back to more healthful living. It was S’s 40th birthday yesterday and the whole weekend involved way too much drink, dessert, and restaurant dining. I want water and fruit now.

• treadmill
• in a panic, write the “memories of 4th grade” I’m supposed to send in today and shouldn’t have procrastinated
• work
• laundryI washed the guest sheets but did not dry them. It still counts, though just barely.
• rethink dinner because pork in a cream sauce is just way, way, way too rich for me right nowwe had a nice stir fry with lots of veggies instead
• find, package, and mail the CD that soldalso stopped at the grocery store for stir fry stuff
