Happy Tuesday everyone! Today is the first day of my work week, and I only have two left! Ya'd think with my short work week, I'd be able to find the motivation to get everything accomplishes... But my motivation for everything productive is seriously lacking. With my 24 hours of driving in 3 days plus spring allergies, all I want to do is sleep!
I'm making a public to-do list in hopes that announcing everything can help me hold myself accountable! Readers, please also help me out: ask me how I'm doing, send a positive thought my way, anything to help me out of this slump!
My To-Do List:
1. Clean out my closets/put away winter clothes. I've been putting this off because our weather has been so back and forth, but even then, my thick sweaters, gloves, and winter scarves can be put away! During this process I really need tO do some purging! I will be moving to an apartment in June and really don't want to fill it up with things I don't use or wear. However, I have a really hard time letting to of things. I'm always worried I'll need something for a "potential/might happen" event. How do you all get rid of things? Any suggestions on letting go?
2. Continue researching Graduate Schools! I will be starting school in August, but I have yet to choose where! Thus far, I've been accepted to 4 programs (and wait listed on another). I've visited one and will be visiting another on Friday. I'm not sure I'll have time to visit the remaining two, but I don't want to necessarily count them out. I need to start doing some more in depth research of the curriculum, costs, etc. Obviously this is a huge life decision, and I have less than a month to make my final decision. Procrastion is not an option here!
3. Exercise & Meal Plan. Beginning in January I made a life change. I decided to stop the yo-yo dieting and unenjoyable exercise. I am eating healthy and fueling my body the correct way, instead of dieting. I have allowed myself a cheat day- Saturday- in which I don't feel guilty about going out to eat AND ordering dessert. Knowing I have this makes getting through the weeks and cravings so much easier. In addition, I started attending exercise classes at the YMCA. Typically I'd do 30-45 mins on the elliptical/track/treadmill but I never really looked forward to it or felt bad about missing a day. Since I started the classes, I look forward to working out and am actually disappointed if I miss a class. Unfortunately, having a week off of work and being in TN, I didn't eat well or really exercise. Combined with my lack of motivation, I've been slacking! I need to get myself back in gear! Everything in life is so much better when I'm feeding my body with the right foods, exercising&stretching and feeling confident.
4. Put more effort/energy into myself on a daily basis. I have gotten extremely lazy in the mornings. I wake up, throw something on, and don't look back. And then mid-day hits. I see myself in the mirror and it's not pretty! I've been feeling blah in a lot of aspects of my life, but when I'm dressed and feeling pretty, I seem to accomplish more. I'm going to try and plan my outfits out the night before, when I have a little more energy, and hope that helps!
That's all I have for now. I'd love to hear any suggestions! Fingers crossed that I can get the ball rolling again!
Thanks for reading,
