So no sooner do I decide to start a diary to see what's holding me back from keeping a beautiful home than I want to start a weight loss program. I need to lose weight. Badly.

I sat in bed facing the closet mirror while getting dressed this morning and in my state of semi-undress I was shocked to see how I resembled jabba the hut. Really. So now I'm anxious to go to the gym and work out and start a diet.

So here I am now with TWO major projects. Is this how I get nothing done. Trying to grasp two I end up with nothing?

About two weeks ago I stopped nursing. Unfortunately, I eat like I'm nursing. It's really added up quickly.

Meanwhile, I've decided the most important thing about getting out of my clutter situation is to first have the energy. So that means sleeping 7-8 hours a night on a regular basis. So it's earlier to bed for me now. I typically go to bed at midnight but the last day or two I've gone to bed before 11pm. Big difference in the morning. So now around 10:30pm I start my bedtime routine of brushing teeth, etc.

It's 10:38pm - I'm running a bit late tonight. My goal is in bed by 11 and up by 7am. Then eventually in bed by 10:30pm and up by 6 or 6:30am.

Sweet dreams!
