My workout schedule has been right on track. I have been shaking my booty with some Just Dance on a daily basis and using a Couch to 5K plan to get back into running. When I missed a day of running (it was too dang cold outside!), I woke up the very next morning, laced my running shoes up and hit the pavement! My hot handsome husband and beautiful fur baby even joined me this morning. The Froehlich Family will be in shape in no time!
I've been eating better, except for maybe my sweet consumption! I CANNOT give up my sweets, no matter how much I try. I have willpower for lots of things but not that. If I don't give in to that temptation, bad things happen. Just ask my hot handsome husband!
As a matter of fact, I had a craving for a baked good last night. At 10:15 PM I decided to whip up some homemade cookie dough. I used this base recipe from Picky Palate but I threw in some peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips because that's what I had on hand. I managed to make 6 decent sized cookies from this recipe. Oh but I forgot to tell you the best part. We didn't have any eggs in the house and I was DESPERATE for my baked goodies so I substituted milk. I had no idea if this would even remotely work but I knew for my hot handsome husband's safety I had to try. It was a success! The cookies cooked a lot quicker than suggested but they were oh so delicious! Any suggestions on how I can kick this sweet addiciton? Any and all advice is welcome.
The house is clean (well except for the kitchen but that's on today's list and I will do it before I go to bed). I've been following a plan I found somewhere on the internet, most likely on Pinterest. Its supposed to only take 15 minutes a day but the woman who came up with this schedule obviously doesn't have a dog that sheds a small fur coat a day. Here is my adapted routine:
Mondays: swiffer, vacuum and wash the floors.
Tuesdays: dust
Wednesdays: clean master bathroom and laundry
Thursdays: clean guest bathroom (I plan to do this every other week because we don't use this bathroom much)
Fridays: clean kitchen
Saturdays: laundry
Daily: make bed, put things away after we are done with them, rinse off dishes and put in dishwasher, put any clean dishes away
I have to admit, this has made my life easier and happier. I am no longer spending a whole day cleaning. Plus, my back isn't killing me by the end of the day!
I also started using this Declutter Calendar to organize our house. However, it is a little on the slow side for me. It's probably great for someone who works all day and has kids but I work evenings and only have an adorable fur baby. This week alone, I have organized my purses, belts, hats, wallets, clutches and scarves (a project in itself), all of our master bathroom cabinets and drawers, guest bathroom cabinet, linen closet, coat closet, pantry, junk drawers, utensil drawer, baking drawer, my recipes, our medicine and spice cabinets! Just a tad bit OCD! I'll post pictures of my organized master closet once its complete. Hopefully I can tackle that tomorrow while my hot handsome husband is at his sim (yes on a Saturday!).
Can you tell that I clean and organize like crazy when I am stressed? I guess my hubby's departure in 3 very short days is affecting me much more than I like to admit.
A disorganized mess gives me anxiety. A clean and organized home makes me happy.
Just call me Little Miss Motivated because I'm off to finish today's To Do List...
