Out of my rut & into action!
Another 3lbs down!! Yee hah!! I feel so much better this week. Much more positive and I have a lot more energy. I start my reduced days at work in 2 weeks and I am daydreaming about all the things I will be able to do with a 3 day weekend. At the moment I am thinking of taking a yoga class or maybe swimming. I also made some changes this week that will start to solve some of the problems at work for me. I think I have been avoiding the issues and putting other peoples needs before mine which ended up only hurting me in the end.
I can’t believe how much this forum has motivated me and helped me take ACTION! I felt so STUCK for so long and you great buddies have helped me get up and out of my well furnished rut.
I have also decided to start tackling the clutter that has taken over my home. I think the clutter and the weight gain go together. Both a result of too much stress over the last 18 months. So with the help of flylady I will be transforming my home as well as my body over the next few months.
Today I am cleaning out the kitchen and the pantry and tossing out anything I haven’t used in the last 12 months. I have tons of pots, pan, containers, odds and ends and boxes of “stuff”. I am going to ‘makeover my kitchen into a happy, health conscious haven, so there is no room for temptation in there.

Awesome! Way to go buddy - congrats on the weight loss and declutter!

“the clutter and the weight gain go together” I think you’re on to something. Now that I am decluttering the house it seems like the weight is also dropping, like I have a simpler life. There’s so much to be said for simplicity. And you know, about this site, you get what you put in…you have been such a supportive buddy to me, how could I possibly not return the favor? That said, CONGRATS on getting 3 miles (pounds) closer to the finish line (goal). That’s the marathoner in me speaking!! Hahahaah!! So have you been doing your walk 1 run 1 workouts???
I couldn’t agree more, getting rid of that clutter will go hand in hand with weight loss., Thing of the fresh new start you will have. Way to go on the 3lbs. Keep up the motivation and take of you.
Wow could you fly up here to Texas and do my kitchen too please LOL. I think you are on to something, maybe I’ll give some of my FAT cloths to Goodwill today, my closets are a mess. -Dee
I am so glad you are out of your rut, I’m trying to climb out of mine and all the support on here is priceless. You are absolutely right about the clutter. When I think about the whole picture - all the closets, kitchen, office, cars, ect. it is overwhelming. So what I’ve been doing is tackling one job at a time. It seems to be helping as I am not so overwhelmed by the idea of getting it all done at once. Keep up the good work.
Making your kitchen over sounds like a GREAT idea…I think I might do the same. Maybe even paint it too. Glad to hear you’re out of your rut. :o)
