Am I the only one. . . .

(putting myself out there) that, at the end of the day, 'knows' that tomorrow she'll eat better, less, healthier? And on the way home from the grocery store, where she shopped without a list, 'knows' that this week she's really going to sit down and write out a menu? And, now that it's 11:00pm, is sure that tomorrow she'll start that exercise program? I used to be so on top of things. . . . .

I'm right there with ya, sister!

 

I've been doing this for the past couple of years. I'm not sure what happened to my organized self? If you find a way to get your mojo back, let me know. :)

I have a *ahem* "friend" with that problem. I try to help her, but as I type she is plotting a trip to the store for some double stuff oreos. She says she is PMSing and we should all stand back and give her what she wants.

 

:auto:

Yes...always tomorrow!

 

Thankfully, doing better this week than last week, but I can always tell when my cravings are about to win.

I get organized in fits and spurts, but then these things called "kids" and this stuff called "life" gets in th mix and it all goes to heck in a hand cart.

I LOVE double stuffed oreos! And...I'm sick. Does that count for something??? lol It's a good thing that I don't have the money for double stuffed oreos or I would be at the gas station across from my work getting some right now. lol

I'm sorry to hear you have the same problem, though I'm 'sickly' glad to not be alone.;)

It's so sweet of you to try and *ahem* help your *ahem* friend. I'm sure she appreciates you.:lol: Can you take the keys away from her??

[4everHis]

Yes...always tomorrow!

I think you nailed my problem. . . Tomorrow! I need to start saying Today, now, right this minute, get up!!!! I'm glad you're having a better week. :)

I don't remembered being told that it would be the 'daily' stuff of life that would knock my feet out from under me!! :001_huh:

See, there are some 'ups' to having no money!:D

Completely understand. And I AM absolutely going to turn my computer off in 20 minutes and take the kids for a walk and come home for a healthy snack.

Sorry you are sick. If you were here I...I mean my friend would share her double stuff Oreos with you. I hear she is even going to give each child one. (DH made a crack last night about her never saving goodies for him so he is on his own!) :D

A couple things that have helped me...one, don't try to implement all the changes at once. Try for one change at a time. And two, take things day by day. Don't be worried that you won't keep up or that you won't be able to do x, y, or z tomorrow. Just do it for today. And pretty soon, you'll be doing it everyday. Good luck!

:thumbup: Let us know how it went! I actually DID clean my stove, shower and folded laundry so I'm not a total do nothing:) I just can't seem to get motivated to do the menu, exercise and eating less.

I used to have a 'plan.' When I was all I had to worry about that 'plan' worked out perfectly. Each minute was planned each day. . . I can't believe how long it's taking me to do exactly what you said, day by day, one thing at a time. I seem to crave order or 'Nothing.' Well, with five kids, order is a 'fleeting' thing. And at almost 50, my brain seems to have gone into 'disorder' mode.

 

Thanks for the advice. I know it's what I need.:001_smile:
