Procrastination, but Good Thoughts

I have a list of things to do. Most of those things have been on that list for an embarrassing amount of time. It's not a physical list, but a mental list. Perhaps that is why it weighs down on me so much. The list gets longer the more I think about it. I should probably write it all down.

But I digress. I feel the winds of change coming. I can sense the motivation to do these things. I think I *will* right it all down so I can get it off my brain and digest it a little more. It will also give me the satisfaction to cross things off the list once they are complete.

Namely that damn bathroom is STILL not finished. I haven't touched it in months and months and months. Also the light fixture I bought for the kitchen is still in my closet. Both of those projects have been half complete for well over a year. That's just ridiculous. Shame on me!

Then there's the belly dance class. I'm bored with it, but it's my own fault. I'm still in the Adv I class and I'm ready for Adv II. The problem is I have to prove my readiness to a teacher. I have to schedule a testing session where I will solo dance 4 choreographies that I've learned in the class. Two things have to happen in order for this to happen.

1. I have to wait until they are testing people.
2. I have to practice the choreographies so I don't look like an idiot.

Neither of these things is happening at the same time. They are about to announce a new testing schedule, so I hope I can get the courage and motivation to just do it!

The last big thing on my mind is walking and the shoes required to give me the support I need to train. I WILL get new shoes this weekend. Honey and I already talked about it and I cannot put it off any longer. On the other side of that mission though, I still continue to loose weight. I'm down 8 lbs total! Almost 1/4 to my goal!! (40lbs loss by Oct is my goal btw) :D

Speaking of goals, I obviously have this big one I keep going on and on about. But a dear friend of mine asked me what comes after the walk? He hoped that I still have a goal. A longer term goal to keep me healthy and happy. I hadn't thought about that much. I've been using this 3Day walk as motivation to keep me going through the rough parts of trying to change how I live my life. I figure by the time October rolls around I will have lost alot of weight and have a routine set that keeps me exercising and eating right. After 10 months of doing those 2 things I figure it'll be habit and I won't go back to my old ways after the walk. But I'm going to take his thoughts to heart and think more on what other things I might want to do that I could only do if I were in shape and healthy.

Thank you for that, dear friend. You've given me something good to chew on for a while.

It Is Working

Regarding my previous post, I'm losing weight and inches. :D

I set a goal to lose 1lb a week so that I'll be 40lbs lighter by the time I participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day

As of today, I'm 4lbs lighter. I started this journey on Jan 5th. So my target for Jan was reached!! Not only that I've lost a total of 5 1/2 inches!

I feel fantastic. I'm actually doing this and it is going to work!
