precariously perched

I woke up today feeling MUCH better than yesterday, headache gone, no neck or shoulder pain. But then I started getting sleepy again and my energy and motivation started winding their way down the toilet. I’m still going to make an effort today to get some work done around the house but I realized I haven’t really been eating well. I’ve felt so lazy and that begets lazy eating which usually equates to not very good nutrition which then continues the vicious cycle of sloth (not the cute kind or even the Goonies kind) and mild depression. So I have to make an effort to eat better today and the rest of the week (well, and beyond!)

So I’m gonna finish up the sugary snacks (just polished off the angel food cake, no fat, no cholesterol, just sugar and egg whites) and reduce my sugar intake this week (and hopefully beyond). Of course there is a lot of sugar added to stuff I eat that is prepackaged, peanut butter, bread, probably yogurt, cereal, yadda yadda, I’m just going to focus on desserts and such. I can’t really do without sugar in my coffee, I try to lighten up a bit but I couldn’t eliminate it altogether. With green tea I just use a little. I’ll allow myself a little bit of dark chocolate but beyond that I am going to pay a lot more attention to all the sweetened crap I eat or drink. I need to balance out my diet more. Less sugar, more veggies. Mostly for my mood and energy levels but also so I don’t put on any more pounds. Plus I signed up for a bunch of fitness classes where for 10 weeks I’ll be doing yoga on Mondays, 9 of which I will be doing Spin on Wednesdays and 7 of which I will also be doing a krav maga type intense self-defense workout. That all starts at the end of February and leading up to that I will be doing yoga once or twice a week and I have 5 spin classes to fit in too. So I’m hoping that by May I will be leaner, meaner (is that possible?), eating healthier, and feeling great! (and will continue exercising on my own.)

Okay, time to watch a movie. If I’m watching a movie I won’t be buying shoes I won’t wear.

Also with earbuds in I won’t be able to hear the dog whining.

as clearly

maybe if I barfed I’d feel better.

except my stomach is empty.

maybe I need to eat.

Taking a long-ass break from my unfucking. I accomplished a lot before noon (see post below) and I woke up with a headache from my sore neck and it’s just not quite going away so I haven’t felt so good.  But I did go out to see my friend at her store, got my sister’s bday present there and actually had decent conversation with a normal human being whom I actually like.

Gonna try to get a little more done today, including but perhaps not limited to:

• put away laundry (it’s folded)
• WASH DISHES
• clean off kitchen table

I don’t know if I have much more than that in me today.

I did get all the dog’s medications sorted for the week. One thing off my mind.

Hoping I feel better tomorrow and can get a couple solid hours in. I feel like I’m treading water. I do a bunch of stuff but it’s barely making a dent. Still, I have to do this stuff before I can tackle some of the bigger projects. But there is so much daily/weekly maintenance crap, it takes up my time and energy from getting to the bigger projects most weeks.  Maybe I should schedule one “big decluttering project” per month and leave the other weekends for general unfucking and smaller decluttering projects.  I don’t know. I need a month off work and a dumpster! (and a dogsitter…that little fucker loves to get underfoot or whine and scream till I pay attention to his every whim. you’d think he was a cat.)

all before noon!
