Okay, where am I?
Boy, it is really clear to me that during the week is becoming a bit of a struggle for me. I need to plan other things to do in the evening, especially if I have been out and about and am coming home a bit late--that seems to be a major danger time for me as far as eating goes but even the other evenings were tough. I am starting a new online course next week (all about Macs and how to get the most of them) so I'm hoping that will keep me occupied. But I need to put my thinking cap on for other options.
Having another good weekend, including a long snowshoe (yes, we are STILL snowshoeing here!) with a couple of hard climbs and then off to the gym. It felt good to be working out again although I am procrastinating again today. Procrastinating! It is my downfall and I know how much it bugs me!
I am procrastinating lots of things today--supposed to be working on my article for the newsletter and I did start on it early this morning but I should be back at it and I'm just putting it off. I should be getting to the gym and doing the vacuuming and I am putting those things off too. I always have these internal struggles with myself, sometimes in quiet voices and other times hollering, "Get to the gym, for crying out loud!" (ummm, I don't mean LITERALLY yelling...not quite ready to get hauled off to the loony bin yet!).
Procrastinating is the worst. I know that if I just DO the stupid thing (whatever it is that I am avoiding) that I will feel better and then I can stop thinking about it and enjoy the rest of my day instead of having it hanging over me all day long, nagging at me in the back of my head, casting a pall over anything else that I do. I guess I know why I do this--it's always something I'm not really sure how to handle (the article), something I really don't like doing but has to be done anyway (vacuuming) or something that takes a bit more energy than I seem to have in my pocket at the moment (gym).
Priority is the gym so I will go and do that first and while I'm there, try to brainstorm some solutions for my eating in the evening. I'll do the vacuuming when I get home (I despise vacuuming, can you tell?) 'cause it doesn't take very long. Then I'll put in at least one hour on the article before dinner.
Sounds like a plan.
