The title describes my life right now. I’m trying to make minor adjustments in oh so many areas of my life right now and do you know what it all adds up to? Major adjustment! Ha! Oh well, what can ‘ya do?

So far I have made minor adjustments in my diet and have lost 3 pounds. Yay! Unfortunately, that still puts me slightly above the weight that I was at before the “Between Christmas And New Year’s Feeding Frenzy”. But, yet another of my minor adjustments is to focus on the positive so I guess I should have just left it at “I’ve lost 3 pounds. Yay!”. I’m also trying to add a little extra onto my exercise routine. A Pilates DVD here, a weight work out there. Not as successful on this front but I’m still trying!

Tater Tot’s sleep schedule is getting some minor adjustment to move her bed time back about an hour. Right now she goes to bed at 6pm and gets up at 6am but I think a later bed time is appropriate for her and she doesn’t really get much time with her Daddy after he gets home from work. So we’re slowly moving things back, 15 minutes at a time. So far this has resulted in slightly less sleep for her and slightly more aggravation for me but, all in all, it’s going okay. And I think it’s the right thing to do so we press on.

Our food budget and spending habits, which really probably need major adjustments, are getting some minor adjustments, too. I could just go Rambo on this but this is an area in which I need to take smaller steps and get more creative. Speaking of creative, I’m also trying to tweak my dinner menu. Which is NOT creative in the least. Even I’M bored by my less-than-interesting cooking these days.

Then there’s always the “getting more organized” New Year’s resolution. That one’s going okay, I guess. I’m remembering to check my calendar before I go to bed and when I wake up so that I’m not forgetting appointments or play dates or whatever else is on there. And I’m doing some de-cluttering, donating, sorting and “containing” so that all of our “stuff” is not taking over our home. Baby steps.

Am I biting off more than I can chew? Probably. But, so far I am experiencing moderate success so I guess I’ll just keep going. It’s all about breaking the old habits and making new ones. So far, so good.
