Books and Small Wins

Today was a little better in the accomplishments department. I went grocery shopping and cleaned a portion of my car. I still didn't take down the decorations and boyfriend was doing laundry. I did clean out the fridge and put away some stuff so that was good. AND I FINISHED MY BOOK SERIES! I read like no one's business if I feel like I need answers but I didn't completely like the answers I got from my series? I'll read the novellas and see if that helps. But I had some small wins today which is something to be grateful for.

Boyfriend also had a sprinkle of luck today with some interviews so fingers (and toes) crossed that something great comes of it!!

I checked in with Catherine today and realized that part of the reason I am doing all of this is my identity crisis due to no longer being a student. Even though my profession allows me to be a life long learner, it is difficult to adjust from an everyday routine in primary school to some freedom in college to the freedom I have now with just my jobs. I'm trying to fill in my time. The problem is, I'm a naturally lazy individual so between staring at Facebook videos and going to the gym I will consistently pick the videos. I am trying to get out of that habit and establish a new routine for my life but as you can see, I'm not so good at that. I need a babysitter.

In the beginning...

I started a project. It came to me one day while I was looking over all the things I needed to accomplish. Go to the gym. Eat better. Organize. Look at the car.  The list was becoming endless. I thought back to some other times when I felt like I had to juggle a ton of things and writing as something that was there to help.  I turn 25 this year. Apparently this is a big deal? Something about a quarter of a century? Becoming mature? It's going to happen; going to happen very soon actually (like as I post this). So let me introduce you, whoever that might be, to Twenty Five for Twenty Six.  Here I'm going to attempt to complete 25 goals by the time I turn 26. I have a year. One full year; 365 days to complete a set of tasks. Have I completely decide what those twenty five things are? No. I'm going to give myself a little time to figure those out. I know I need to work on losing 25 pounds but the rest of the goals are kind of up in the air!  I also want ...

These Are Not Joanna Eggs!

If you don't know who Joanna is, please see above. She's a Goanna (reptilian creature who crawls on all fours and eat eggs and things) who is a minor character in "The Rescuers Down Under."  The reason she is featured in today's post is because the theme song for that Disney movie has been playing all day at work as part of the fountain show. I heard it mid afternoon and immediately recognized it. I even said to myself "Well now I have to watch The Rescuers Down Under." And here I am doing just that as we wind down for the night.  Water intake was good today and food was decent. So far breakfast has been the low calorie density meal and based on the scale, I have lost three more pounds. But we shall see. Tomorrow is supposed to be a WellDressedWednesday.

Seeing and Believing

With all the weddings I’ve gone to in the last 5 months, I’ve been in a few pictures. I saw one of me that was posted recently and I wanted to cry. I swiped through the pictures and just got more and more in disbelief, mentally asking “Is that really me? Is that what I look like from behind?” I stared at them until I couldn’t any more and immediately had to go do something else. I looked like such a different person than what I thought I looked like. My mental picture and reality are just sooooo far off and it was jolting to see it. I don’t want to look that way. I haven’t struggled with body image very much. If anything I’ve always thought I was smaller than I am. But I’m much bigger than I want to realize and I need to cut it out now before it becomes an even bigger issue. I know all of this.  And here I am having finished a small KFC meal and still hungry as I write this. I have so little self control with food. I eat when I stressed, bored, hungry, sad, because it’s t...
