Slept 9 hours, woke up at 6:30 to a gentle thunder storm. Think my body is catching up on much needed rest.
First goal of the day, walk on the gazelle, do my 6 minute challenge. Will do more exercise later as a reward.
Second is to keep working on my house. I have dishes piled on tables with my cabinet clean out. I have one empty to bleach, let dry and refill. Only 2 more to empty out and run through the dishwasher. Hate stuff being piled on tables, makes my little house feel so cluttered. The basement and bathrooms to tackle, maybe today. I'm getting rid of stuff I don't use, unless it's antique. Both refrigerators need to be cleaned out as well, then I can plan meals for the week.
My journals are often goals for my day, not always diet or exercise related, often just my plans for the day. Getting my house in order will relieve stress because it's bothering me.
Lazy start as usual for some weekend mornings. Reading and on here while drinking a few cups of coffee. I guess I do it because I can now, these type of mornings were not part of my old lives. I sometimes feel guilty because I'm not up and doing something. Coffee is almost gone, bout time to get in gear.

Sounds like you have either started your spring cleaning late or your fall cleaning early - LOL

LOL, I usually do massive after the holiday cleaning, didn't get done this year, had pneumonia 3 times. Then it was spring clean the yard time. Figured dog days of summer would be good, cool summer instead. Started cleaning out cabinets anyway in bits and pieces. Rainy wet weekend with no plans. Good time to do it. I have a week off in September that I want to tackle some remodeling projects, do not want having to do this stuff get in my way. Besides it's bothering me.

Back on here, walked 15 minutes, breathing is raggy. Waiting for asthma drugs to kick in. Then back for my 6 minute challenge.

I like that your journal is about your 'life' rather than just food and exercise. Maybe because mine is too .. but I like knowing more about my friends here than just what they ate or how long they walked... we're multidimensional people and this is a good place to express it. Of all the things I miss about Cutty, I so enjoy the quiet mornings I get to spend here sipping coffee and catching up with my friends; mornings were always loud (Fox News) and a zillion caretaking errands. Embrace this part of the 'new you'.

I understand how "stuff" can irritate. Right now I have my DS, DIL, 4 grands, and their large dog living with me (for the past 8 months). I LOVE them all, and I'm so happy they are back to live in the same state as I am, but my house is no longer my own. I cannot do any housework, yard work, or laundry without tripping over "stuff". I just remind myself this is a temporary situation and try to enjoy the time we have together (they have put an offer in on a house and hopefully will close in the next few weeks). I think it is great that you know what irritates you and have a plan to fix it!

Not so new, several years of on my own, I think just more comfortable now. I love your journals. I think my weight loss journey is much more than losing weight but a major change in everything about my life. I try to focus on doing things that make me feel good. Cleaning is not my thing, but I can't stand my house cluttered and unclean so it's a means to an end that makes me happier.

You ARE doing something. You're caring for yourself in a way that you may not be used to yet. Don't ever discount that!

Oh my!! Hipaagrammy, you have a houseful!! Nice that they are all back and close. I'm sure they will love being back in their own home as well. My little house ends up a disaster after I just have 4 of the grandkids for a weekend!!! My 2nd ex turned into a hoarder, it was awful. I rebel against that. Every surface was covered with stuff so having my tables full even temporarily is annoying. I moved of my stuff and all my deceased mom's stuff into a 980sq foot 60's ranch house with a finished basement. Slowly paring it down to what I want and remodeling along the way. Much though is antique glassware handed down through generations, going through my cabinets and big hutch is a time consuming project. Time to get back to work.

I'm more 'tidy' than clean ... as long as everything is in it's place, and not moved, I don't see the dust circles, LOL. But then I'll get on a cleaning binge (yes, everything in my life is feast or famine, no in between) and will be on the floor with a Qtip cleaning baseboards or something.

I am using a journal for the first time to document my journey as well. My house has 2 cluttered rooms as well that I am organizing and letting go of things I don't need anymore. I have a 10 pound challenge starting August 11-September 29th. I'm tired of failing at weight loss, so now I'm keeping it simple and doable. I will walk 10 minutes daily at work and inside the building after clocking out from work. More lime and lemon squeezed water (hot water in the morning to cleanse) and plain throughout the day to hydrate. I like to crunch so I bought raisin bran as a fiber snack and apples. I am doing a shake for breakfast and lunch and a lean protein dinner with light carbs plus multivitamin daily. Hope this helps with my 10 pound challenge.

Lol! My hubby is a bit of a hoarder too. I keep telling him I wish he would get rid of this or that and it really makes him cranky...one day I told him, "You are going to give me guilt...because if you should "go" before I do I'm GOING to get rid of this stuff...and then I'm going to feel guilty about it because I know it was important to you...but feeling guilty about it is NOT going to stop me!!!" LOL! (He just rolls his eyes)

A bit of a hoarder is not overboard OCDC. He was like those hoarder shows. Not so much that way when I married him, he was rather sane, or so I thought. He ended up with multiple mental issues made worse by the prescription drug addiction that developed during our marriage after an injury. I was drowning in his illnesses and had to escape for my health and sanity. I think we all have things we hang on to, I know I have them or I would not have a house full of family heirlooms, nor would I have almost an entire basement for quilting with at least 1000 yards of fabric and 500+ cones of thread, or over 400 cookbooks. Mostly neatly organized and color coded.

All I did was read your post, and all that you have to do today, and I am tired. You are definitely getting your exercise in for sure. Try and take it easy at dusk and relax.

C672410, rainy gloomy day, taking more breaks than I should. Stuck as to where this stuff should be in my cabinets. Need to just do it. May not get to the frig...

Yes, you're right, a bit of a hoarder and overboard OCD are not really the same. I shouldn't complain. At one time I was also in a situation where I had to escape and my current situation is the farthest thing from it. I've been with GoodMan for 30 years now and sometimes it's easy to forget how bad things were with my ex.
Sounds like you are doing the work that needs to be done ~ on yourself and on your house.
Blessings. :)

That's good for you and your family. I'm in a good place mentally and everything else, except wish I had enough money to retire. Can't change that, just keep working. 2 exes that went crazy on me, but that's in the past.
