And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.
John Steinbeck
Yesterday I didn't get round to making my curry, I'll do it
today, I did wrap and package 60 gifts though ready for the hostel, I shall
take them tomorrow now as my car will already be empty then, if I take today
I've got to empty it out and I spend enough time emptying and filling my car!
I'm not going to lie, I didn't track this weekend at all, I
know it's not the brightest way to start off my Christmas season, I can say I
haven't gone crazy, I sat watching mom eat cheese and onion crisps yesterday
and resisted! Everywhere you look
there's food! Even on Pinterest when I
go on to find an image in the morning, there's food recipes all over it now, I
just got excited over eggnog cookie cups!
I mean, behave, I can't be baking them, there's 18 in the recipe!
We watched a great film yesterday though, "Man
up", a really good heart warming, very funny film, I'd definitely
recommend, mom and I laughed together the whole way through it.
I might - I'm not promising, but I might tidy my bedroom
today! If I can do that today, then my
office next, I might not have to spend any of my week off doing the big tidy,
that would be nice.
My kitchen is still clean and tidy since I did it last
Wednesday, I'm quite impressed with that, long may it continue. The forecast is rain so I may as well spend
my morning being productive, I'm writing it down in the hope that it will
motivate me to stick to the idea.
3 weeks today we'll be in a new year, now is a good time to
stop and think about how you want the next 3 weeks to go, do you want to obsess
about it all or have a more relaxed attitude.
Will constantly saying "I shouldn't" make you want to do it
all the more? If you give yourself
permission to, are you less likely to feel the need? Only you know how your mind works, I know
mine works better if I say I can have it if I want it, I know my memory is so
bad that if I can't see it, I forget about it, so my plan is to think about the
stuff I'd like when I see it, hope I forget about it later and try not to have
too much of the stuff in the house to tempt me - can't eat what isn't there!
On that note, I know my fridge is almost empty, so I am
going to have to go buy some food, I have no bread, running out of the fresh
stuff, I'll stay away from the tempting stuff when I do go and fetch food.
Here's to a wonderful week - whatever that might look like
in your world, every weeks a wonderful week in my world whatever direction it
goes in.
