I've lacked motivation.
I've lacked inspiration.
I've lacked the ability to get off the couch for anything other than going to the kitchen for a snack.
However, it's a new week and I'm determined to take some steps to get back on track.
First step I took was to head to Pinterest for some inspiration...
Second step is tackling the wreck that is my house. I hate to clean, I really do. Since I live alone, I don't have the pressure to clean it except for when I'm expecting company. Maybe I just need to start inviting people over EVERY weekend. That might just do the trick...
In the meantime, I'm going to start a weekly to do list of household chores. Maybe writing them down and checking them off will provide the accountability that I obviously need.
One of the items on the household chores to do list is going to be doing one of these a week...
I live surrounded by clutter and I think if I tackle it slowly and methodically, I may just beat it!
Third, I need to start eating better (more regularly and a bit healthier) and exercising in some sort of consistent manner.
I can go a day with only drinking my morning Starbucks peppermint mocha (yes, I drink this ALL year round) and some water. This only leads to bad thing the next day...like headaches.
I've actually started this one already by grabbing a bag of baby spinach the last time I hit the grocery store. I do NOT like salad at all except if it's a spinach salad and then I'm game. To keep the spinach from just sitting in the fridge, I also hard-boiled some eggs and cut them up, fried up some bacon and crumbled it AND bought some Craisins (thanks Ginny over at Gin & Juicy Juice for the inspiration) to keep on hand this week so I can easily whip up a salad for lunch or dinner.
Now when it comes to the exercising regularly, I struggle - big time. I try to remember this...
But it doesn't always help. Some of my friends are The Couch-to-5K Running Plan but I don't know if I want to start running...my pants aren't THAT tight!
No matter whether I start a regular exercise regimen or just get myself off the couch to run the vacuum, I think it all comes down to remembering this...
I was just going to say I go to Pinterest for inspiration as well. I would like to do the 30 bag challenge. Good luck and I hope your week is awesome!

That last one pretty much sums it all up doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteHow on earth can you go all day on a cup of coffee and water???!!!?
ReplyDeleteMy blood sugar would drop so low, I wouldn't be able to drive home from the headache.
Missing meals is just NOT an option for me.
Good plan on the spinach salad. You're making me think I should go boil some eggs (I have a mass of spinach in my fridge, too).
Love the list need to do that. I also need to workout or just hit the pavement for 30 minutes a day.
