Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 11
08-26-08
The order of life has returned somewhat to normal, but I’m tired of being lazy. Lazy about my eating habits, lazy about yard work, lazy about house work, lazy about bible reading, lazy about blogging, lazy with the checking account and bills, etc. I’ve squandered and wasted too much time, energy and money to be as fat as I am in a house that needs so much repair and decluttering with a bank account that should show more than it does.
We went to our meeting tonight and one of the things we need to work on is making an “eating zone” become a “no parking zone” so that we can reach the “end zone” (is football about to start or something?). Amy and I agreed tonight that the TV room would no longer be an eating zone, it is a no parking zone. We mindlessly eat and eat because the meal never ends when we’re watching TV. It’s time to actually use the dining room for more than just Saturday breakfast.
I also spent some time doing a few chores before sitting here right now to post my weekly weigh-in. I’m not doing nearly as much as Amy does around this house, so I need to do much more than I have. Amy suggested that we vacuum the TV room and put away the TV trays we leave out for the next meal. That way, we know we are creating more work for ourselves if we choose the TV room for a meal rather than go to the dining room which is already setup with everything we need.
I tried to do much better this week, especially this weekend. I know I succeeded in most of my choices this weekend, so I managed to wipe out most of the damage from the film festival. I did not completely succeed, but I think I got a good ball rolling for next week’s weigh-in.
Also, once again, I’ve declared war on sugar. I’ve let it creep back into my life too much again. So for one week, no sugar unless it is naturally occurring in fruit or in a food item that is not of itself a sweet treat (i.e. bread).
