Dead Stop

Ever have so incredibly much to do that you just can't do anything?  Dead stop!  That's where I've been, where I still am, and where I'm trying to break free from!  Even the little things are tripping me up! 

So, I do what I love to do.  I make lists!  Then I do things, and if they aren't on the list, I write them down just so I can cross them off.  This may be a sign of some illness, but it makes me happy.

1.  Losing weight - I haven't been as strict as I should be, but I'm not doing too badly.   But we ate ham last night and all that salt showed up on the scales this morning, so I won't announce it until I'm sure.

2.  Exercise - Still avoiding this.  My skinny friend  suggested we do flights of stairs every day, so one day last week we started off with 3 flights.  I was surprised I managed it without much trouble since I haven't been active.  But since then, she has never mentioned it and I let it go.  However, I have ordered an extra pair of walking shoes that I can keep in my back-pack, so I will start walking on my lunch hour.  That's a bit of progress!

3.  Organizing my stuff - I'm going through my dresser, armoire, and closet bit by bit to get rid of clothes that are ridiculously big on me.  I'm almost done with the clothes, then I have to attack my shoes.  It seems I've lost even more weight in my feet and have shoes that are too big yet again.  

4.  Self-esteem - Have a ton of work to do here.  But I'm so far ahead of where I used to be!

5.  Blog - I have to get serious like I said I would!  I'm about to go scouting for more bloggy friends.  I need to find some friends who have already lost a good bit of weight so I can ask them some personal questions!
