I am, for the most part, totally unmotivated. My last post was giggle inducing. I am Ms. Funny.

I tried to think of things to motivate me, and the one thing that worked was…. drumroll…. “I’ve Never Been 110lbs”. It’s true. I never have. Maybe when I was 9, but not since then.

I have had this goal in the back of my head for probably 15 years. It would be a nice little gift to myself to do this, it really would. The sense of accomplishment I would have would be unyielding if I could get to that point. I’d be in heaven.

So how to do it?

Do I need to make a list?

Ummm.. yeah. I do.

1. Do NOT snack. EVER.
2. Pre-plan ALL meals.
3. Eat small portions.
4. Workout without fail Wed, Thurs, Fri and 1 weekend day.
5. Sleep when you need it.
6. Plan to eat more fruits and veggies.
7. Drink more water, more tea. Green tea!

Stay motivated. It’ll be fun, and then you can cut your HAIR!!!!

I actually didn’t spend a dime when I said I wouldn’t in August and part of September. Then I went into weird mode, where I returned stuff, exchanged stuff, sold stuff on eBay, and then somehow made money and then spent on stuff I needed. I don’t understand it, but I think I evened out. I am not supposed to spend until Thanksgiving now. I talk as if someone else imposed these rules.

Now… onto the “new” part. Put together a better outfit means the following (at least right now).

1. I need to dress younger. I am young once.
2. I really shouldn’t “invest” in clothes. They tend to fall apart, go out of style, etc. F21 and J. Crew sale have been working particularly well for me.
3. Accessories seem to be a better bargain. The price of accessories to liven up an outfit is better than the price of clothing. They seem to last longer too.
4. Simpler items are better. ‘Nough said.
5. Don’t forget warmth. You get cold. You get sick.
6. You really don’t need more clothes. You have enough stuff that works well.

I think this does it. I think. Why am I so confused about such simple matters?

I read the entries about weight loss, and they seem fairly normal. I read entries about clothing and saving money, and I sound like a total fucking lunatic. Like crazy, out of my mind nuts.

This is how it is: right now, my summer clothes are more than adequate. They’re nothing spectacular, but they’re cute, they’re functional, and I either – 1) don’t work in the summer or 2) work somewhere where dressing nicely is not really important, and is seemingly frowned upon.

Winter clothes are confusing because I don’t really know what I need. I have to hold off on that. As for summer and early fall, I’m more than OK with the amount I have.

I haven’t spend ONE PENNY since 8/1/09. I’ve used gift cards if I’ve gone near anything and have actually sold on eBay.

I might buy something for my birthday, but then I will be on hiatus from then until 10/31. I think. It sounds like a good plan right now, but who knows where we’ll be then?
