I have decided that I am switching back to coffee immediately. I do not love green tea the way I love coffee full of Hazelnut creamer. So on payday, I'm going to buy some fair trade Tierra Del Sol coffee and some Coffeemate Hazelnut creamer and go at it. MMMmmmmmm....coffee! I have never been an all or nothing person, so why am I suddenly so consumed with getting rid of ALL processed food? I no longer am. Coffeemate and I are gonna be "reunited and it feels so gooooooood."
I have decided that I am not going to take up painting, or any sort of visual artistry. I went to the art supply store and I just didn't have any passion for the things I saw. It's a huge investment to make. I'm not ready to make it. I don't think I ever will be.
I have decided I'm going to start on my book next month. My goal is going to be to finish 10 pages a week. Start off slow and don't make any demands of myself that set myself up for failure. It's going to be about my life. It really shouldn't be interesting to anyone but I am going to do it anyways. It will more than likely never get published, and that's okay. I need to do it anyways.
I have decided that I need to stop weighing myself once a week and writing down everything I eat every day. I'm going to continue to monitor my food intake on weekdays but I am going to get rid of my "MyFitnessPal" app. I am operating like someone with an eating disorder still, and it needs to stop. I will mark one day a month on my calendar that I can step on a scale, and that is it.
I have decided that I am going to start working with an organization I came across by accident last night. There was a comedy improv group, and a few performers doing a fundraiser for Shoes & Sandwiches.
I have delivered food, blankets, water, and wet wipes to the homeless all by myself for quite some time. It was awesome to find that there is an organization locally that not only tries to effect policy change, but also gets out on the street and hands stuff out to the homeless. Most organizations keep their healthy distance so they don't have to ever actually come in to contact with the humans on the street. This organization doesn't do that, so my effort and free time will be well spent with them. I'm looking forward to becoming a part of it.
I have decided that my internet use is not really a problem. If I want to sit at home alone with my phone next to me and check my email and Foodspotting obsessively, that's not hurting anyone. Until it is, I'm not going to punish myself for it. I got out and did plenty this weekend, AND I checked my email obsessively. It's not like I turned down plans to go out, or didn't get a walk in, because I was doing it. So be it. Internet weirdo I am, and shall be for a while longer. :)
Happy picture of the day: my new light is finally installed! Now I have to try not to freak out about the ring where the old light fixture was, until I can get some flat white paint and paint around it. I also have a ring around a ceiling fan in my living room. I will fix them soon. For now I will focus on: "Ooooh, pretty light!"
Cute light!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's way better than the boob. That's for sure.
ReplyDeleteAs a representative of the Tea Conglomeration, might I say, "Boooooo! Defector! Coffee Judas!"
ReplyDeleteBut your other goals are quite noble. Shoes and Sandwiches looks like an awesome organization. Good luck with the writing.
Hahaha. I will definitely still drink my evening black tea, but I need my morning coffee. It really makes me a more pleasant person.
ReplyDeleteThe organization does look awesome. I'm glad I stumbled upon them last night accidentally.
Thanks for the good luck wish. I'll need all the luck I can get. I have a problem with follow through when I start writing.
Those are some great changes :) That's great that you can recognize that you're not ready to invest in something. I splurge and hoard. No bueno! haha
ReplyDeleteAs far as Coffeemate goes, I've never gave up coffee. I have to drink a cup in the morning. I used to be a Coffeemate junkie but I find that vanilla soy milk and sugar in the raw is a great substitute. Just an idea! But I love my green tea too. I have the in the afternoon and night.
And I love your new light! :)
I have vanilla almond milk and sugar but my Coffeemate is one of life's little pleasures that I am going to allow myself. I don't have to be healthy all the time.
ReplyDeleteI used to splurge and hoard too. I've gotten better. I'm actually donating some stuff this weekend.
Thanks about the light. I love the thing!
I give up coffee all the time. Then I have a bad day or night and coffee welcomes me back with creamy sweet goodness. Coffee is good like that. Never holds a grudge.
ReplyDeleteThe light does look awesome. Almost sci-fi-y.
As for the rest, all your goals sound good! Good luck!
I am not a waffley person for the most part. When I quit something, I quit it. Not so much with the coffee. This is only the second time in my life I've given it up. The first time I lasted two years. This time not even a whole month.
ReplyDeleteThanks about the light. I really like it.
All the other decisions are cake. Super cake even.
