What Will I Do?

What will I do?  To answer that question I make a barrage of lists.  My resolutions for 2019 are under the 2019 To Do List of which one is to 'cut down on social media perusal time.'  In turn I created yet another index titled Hobby List to help with the goal of cutting down that time.  Digitizing pictures, scrap booking, family history and counting calories are a few bullets from this series.  I know counting calories as a hobby sounds odd, but mentally when I categorize it that way I am apt to dedicated more time in doing so.  From November of 2017 I  had an entry in my journal asking the same question.

What will I do?

Crafts, exercise, count calories, lose weight, buy new clothes, fix bad habits! While my serious weight loss program starts on my birthday January 24, 2018 I start weighing in tomorrow, and will do so each Friday until January , 2019. :-) 

I stayed up late making rolls for George's holiday work luncheon.  I slept in this morning, giving myself only 20 minutes to get ready for work.  If I had picked out my clothes the night before my morning would have gone smoother.  I felt that crunch for time.  I made toast to find out George had taken the margarine tub to work.  The internet wasn't connecting so one of my morning tasks was not achievable.  And, when I left for work I couldn't find my work keys where I had previously left them.  Instead of beating my head, I used cream cheese for my toast, delayed my task until after work and left home knowing there was an extra work key to borrow once I arrived.   And, once I parked at work I looked down between the seats and there laid my keys.    Life, all in the perception.  Now I need to actually recognize that I am seventy pounds overweight and do something about it.

So, I did do something about it.  I lost 55 pounds of my initial goal of 72 and have gained ten back over the winter.  April arrived and so did the big 'awakening'! :-)  The next goal is to lose 27 pounds in 27 weeks, which is specific I know.  As these weeks progress I will be faithful to this blog and share the journey.
