I was so hungry and out of sorts for most of the day yesterday. I think stress had a little to do with it, but I think TOM was also a big culprit. My body was craving fat and protein, so I let it have what it needed (1/2 sausage in addition to my normal protein rations (no sugar, though it was turkey), few nuts, skipped a fruit), and did ok. Listening to my body is a big change from R1, and its nice to see that what my intuition is on R2 this time is somewhat reflected in the scale. I wish it would have been more as I only in my second week in P2, and we all know the losses start to drop after that, but Ill just keep listening and know that whatever my body wants for me will happen. I feel good with my progress to date, confident, and hopeful, even though my reptilian brain is screaming for more variety in my food choices...and causing my wild child to freak a little. There, there, my pets...
There are still tons of papers and crap all over my desk due to my spring cleaning, and I feel like it will never end ( i know, Martha Beck, black and white thinking, permanent helpless crap). At this stage in the game, where I need to make a million annoying decisions-should I keep this, file this, will I need this again, where does this go, does so and so want this, I get frustrated and resistant...and this is when it gets tricky...because if I dont keep pushing, it will stay like this for the next six months and then Ill get even more crazy. And if I keep everything I have because I might need it in six months, or a client might want to review it, or my kids might want to play with it, then again, Im in the same sinking boat. Suck it up and chuck it, Kelly! You're almost there.
Anyone want to come over and take away everything I still have left so I dont have to go through this? There's some pretty good stuff...freecycle.org, here I come.
And Happy Weekend to all you beautiful ladies out there. Any big plans?
Kelly- if it helps you at all, I'm the same way about organizing. I'm easily overwhelmed and catch myself stopping or my brain just being worn out from deciding which pile to put this or that. Feeling guilty over giving it away, feeling guilty over trashing it, or feeling guilty for keeping it! A no-win situation that I set up for myself. Your last paragraph really resonated with me, as I need to organize today, & what you said about black-or-white thinking has got me motivated to start! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI really believe if you haven't used it, worn it, or missed in the last year...it's time to donate or trash it. That sounds cold. I have to be that way. If I saved everything from over my 20 year marriage and seven children I would be drowning in clutter.
ReplyDeleteYes. I will come over right now, and wrap it all up for you.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing very important in there. Right? 'cause that's my cleaning strategy right now. Big sheet enfolding the mess, skuttled right out into the TRASH.
You're okay with that right?
Great consistent losing!
ReplyDeleteI'll be celebrating my 56th birthday on Monday so this weekend I'm grilling. You have a good weekend too.
