Yeah, so the resolutions…I’m doing okay, I guess. I’ve lost 2 pounds (after gaining 5 and needing to lose 9 more!) and I am more organized for the time being. It’s all a matter of developing habits. Bad habits got me 10 pounds heavier than I want to be and without any clean undergarments. And good habits will set me free! Okay, maybe not set me free but they will assure that I am not running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off trying to get everything done. And they will help me not forget so much stuff. I swear my brain is like a sieve. It’s scary how easily I forget stuff these days.

What have I done? Well, I’ve cut ice cream and most sugar out of my diet completely. It’s not fun and I don’t like it. But it’s not as bad as it could be. I usually walk every morning but I haven’t gotten it together enough to add more exercise, like a weight work out or a Pilates DVD to my routine yet. But I will. As for organizing, I have a paper organizer (imagine that, organizing yourself with an organizer) with a calendar and some daily routines that will ensure that things run smoothly in my house on a daily basis. I’ve tried electronic organizers and I’m just not feelin’ ‘em. I like paper. So I write stuff down and actually look at the calendar. It works as long as you remember to look at the *&%# thing.

I’m not on the high that I was when I first started, all optimism and determination (that was probably sugar-fueled anyway!) but I am taking small steps toward changing habits and it feels good. It would feel better to make progress more quickly but, chances are that it wouldn’t last if I did. So I plod along and work toward my goals with the intention of seeing results a little farther down the road. And on that note, it is officially my bed time since I’m trying to get more sleep. Signing off…
