During the move I helped my parents with I obtained many new things, some wanted, some not wanted. All I wanted to do is help my parents, I ended up with a living room stacked, nearly to the ceiling! It was a little frustrating. Some of it was food (and not the kind that's good for you), some of it was just random stuff. Additionally, my home had already been neglected from spending over a week helping them.
Yesterday I finally buckled down and started cleaning house. I completely rearranged my bedroom so I could store boxes that I didn't go through in a way that they weren't blocking anything. I reorganized the living room and picked up the kitchen. I vacuumed with my new awesome vacuum and got so much done. It took me nearly 8 hours of cleaning to get that all done. That is a full day of work!
During that time, I began changing my attitude. I am so much more comfortable when my home is organized and neat. It feels easier to get back on track, which I've been off of for a while. We bought my fiance a bike, he wanted to get me one, but I was just not comfortable with that, but looking at his bike today, I realized, I need to change my attitude about that too. I'm gathering all the food I won't eat over the next couple of days to donate it. I hate giving away food, especially because are so broke and need all the help we can get. I still am unemployed and he has been dropped to 3 days a week at his job. We struggle, but, that food is going to someone who needs it (and wants it) more than we do.
So today I will give myself a break (and I already kind of did!). I woke up at 6:30 a.m. made my handsome fiance lunch saw him off to work and at about 7:30 a.m. I fell back asleep until about 12:30! I didn't know I needed the rest. So Now I'm up, watching the soccer game and I will do the basic cleaning and commit to unpacking one box, anything over that is bonus. I DID start tracking my food again today! So yay for that!
I made this delicious strawberry smoothie, 225 grams (approx 8 oz) of strawberries, a bit of splenda and ice. It was YUMMY! I made this bbq pulled chicken stuff for his lunch so I had that for breakfast on some yummy multi-grain bread, I did have some strawberry milk too. Bad me! However, I am going to fully track my food! It really help keep you on track.
Getting back up is a climb sometimes. It's worth it though.
