...I was pretty fed up with things in general. I felt tired all the time (and felt lazy, consequently), ate poorly (sorta junk food vegetarian), procrastinated, was cluttery, and enjoyed slumming around the house in my bathrobe. I knew that I wasn’t living the way I wanted. So I added this goal. And then kind of ignored it… but I didn’t ignore it altogether. Even though this goal was buried in the middle of my list, it was still whispering to me from backstage.
Since I’ve added this goal, I have…
Started exercising 5 or 6 days a week, and discovered I love it. I feel cranky on my “rest” days. Sparkpeople.com is fantastic.
Paid off a big chunk of debt. Still have quite a bit, but it’s going down.
Cleared a pickup truck full of clutter out of my life. I was going through another box of stuff today and found an uncashed check that was a wedding gift a year and a half ago (How mortifying, BTW. Now I have to contact that person about it and let them know I JUST found it.) That just reinforces my desire to sort through everything we own and get organized.
I eat a lot healthier. We hardly ever go out to eat now, and cook up lots of healthy dinners at home. I only drink soda once in a while as a treat instead of every day, and I gave up coffee over 3 weeks ago. Between giving up caffeine, eating better and exercising, my body has fewer aches and pains and I don’t need ibuprofen to get through my day, and I have more energy.
So, that’s what I’ve been doing so far, and I feel like it’s a good foundation, because none of it’s forced… I just felt like it was time to do these things. We’ll see where I keep going from here.
