Ok – I’m done being “half-assed” about my life. I’m committing to focus and accomplish!
Like many Americans, the past several months have been quite a wake up call with the crumbling economy. It’s also been the start of a new year – the time when I traditionally make at least feeble attempts to shed the extra pounds that have been “sneaking up behind me” throughout my adult life.
Generally around the New Year I also resolve to do better at adhering to my budget, cleaning my house, playing more with my kids, adding more content to this site, volunteering to help the homeless, etc. etc.
I think my problem is that I overwhelm myself with too many goals and too little discipline. Once one goal gets too tough to accomplish, I flit off to something else reasoning that “it’s all important.” However, this pattern leaves me with a series of unfinished projects and a brain full of nags about what I “should” be doing. I’m tired of “overworrying” and “underaccomplishing.”
So, my new plan is to prioritize and start powering through this stuff! I’m going to start by focusing on my weight issue with a new spin this time – In the past I think boredom and anxiety have been the primary reasons I’ve overeaten. Now I’m going to plan ahead to work on my goals to distract me from overeating.
I’m going to use the Weight Watcher’s program which I’ve been doing on and off for the past few months. Now I’m going to do it properly though! Every day I’m going to make a plan for my eating and stick to it! When I have an urge to get off track I’m going to look at my to do list and try to accomplish a small project or part of a larger project…
Wish me luck!
