At least for a while longer....
It's day 6 into the new year, although it's only three days into the time I said I would begin my new way of being on January 3. I’ve only taken a tiny step. I guess it might depend on how you look at it, whether it’s tiny or insignificant.
Firstly, I’ve cut my eating quantity in half and I’m drinking more water. And I’m feeling it, at least sometimes when I get hungry. Then my friend told me to eat six small meals, it works better that way. I had forgotten about doing it that way, I’ve done that before. So, I resolved to start doing it that way. It just takes just too much effort to plan six small meals when I’ve been so busy this week. But, I have to do it so I will.
Secondly, I started cleaning out my closet. The closet that is in a haphazardly, ordered way, if there’s such a way for a closet to be. I can find my clothes and shoes when I need them, but it could be better. Plus, since it’s a medium sized walk in closet, I ended up putting boxes with “stuff” in there so that has made it rather untidy. My husband shares a portion of the closet too and I want to make it comfortable for him especially since I hog most of the space. I haven’t completed that task yet though. Sometimes my 3 year old gets involved because she wants to help, which of course doesn’t help me a lot. So I have to distract her and that distracts me from completing that project…..until another time. Hence this will be a long time to complete.
That’s all I’ve done so far. I haven’t done anything else. I have not begun exercising yet. Although I’ve began to walk a little more when I don’t have to go far, instead of driving around. Plus, I’ve started to move around more, away from my desk at work. So, until I really begin to exercise, that’s it.
I'm not giving up though. I will beat this coach potatoe habit. I'm like the little train, I think I can, I think I can....I'm changing it to, I know I can, I know I can. Positive thinking will do it. And I will start writing things down as plannned. Dharmagirl uses that method and it's working for her so far.
So, I guess it really isn't so insignificant when I look at it in writing. That's some good steps if I might say so myself. I know I can, I know I can.....
