Things are going ok with this goal actually.
- I’m currently on a diet and have 13 pounds to go to reach my goal, which I’m hoping to within a month.
- The diet has necessitated getting up early enough to make myself breakfast in the morning, so I’ve been successful with that.
- I bought a car.
- We’re working on our bedroom now, should be done in a week or so. One more thing off the huge list of house stuff.
Still need to work on my wardrobe, which will come more naturally when I lose more weight. Also need to work on keeping in touch with people more and I still have a bunch of cards and gifts I need to send out.

bottoming out
8 months ago
I am such a mess. Every day, I drag myself out of bed at the last possible minute, dig through the pile of clothes on the floor, pull something wrinkled and frumpy out, throw it on, look in the mirror with disgust, drag the dog around the block, speed to work in my filthy car, get to work and bumble my way through the day, then come home and spend most of the night screwing around and figuring out what to do for dinner, and go to bed feeling like I haven’t accomplished anything that I set out to do. There are all these things staring me in the face – my camera, my horrible clothing, the dust bunnies on the floor, my unfinished dress, the peeling paint – and I feel too busy to do anything about them, but I can’t figure out what it is that I’m busy doing.
In general, I feel like a disorganized slob, and something’s gotta give. I get so stressed at the thought of doing anything, everything feels overwhelming.
The goal of “get my shit together” is sort of a culmination of a lot of my other goals, but I feel like those goals aren’t going anywhere, so I need to focus on an overhaul. Here are some things that will need to be done for my shit to be considered together>
- lose weight
- get up earlier
- keep the house clean
- get organized at work
- be proactive about cards, gifts, etc.
- dress better
- keep in touch with people
- buy a new car
In general, I need to stop letting the day fly by and feeling at the end like the previous 24 hours was a waste of time.
