On Sunday I hit that milestone called year 31. I'm not one to quibble over my age. Fact is my 30's suit me better then my 20's did. Just could have done with a better day. No cards, no gifts, no cake. Just cranky kids and a sick husband that slept all day. On Monday though I said screw it and made myself a cake. Happy Birthday to ME! Enough of that, the important things!
Weekly goals:
Continue to get up at 8am
Downsize the kitchen
Find a way to limit the kids tv time
You may notice some goals are repeated from last week, there is a reason for that. The whole premise of making weekly goals to to make small changes to facilitate large changes. Well the changes last week just did not work. By turning of the TV in the morning it meant I had screaming children underfoot as I cooked and cleaned in the kitchen. So this week I find a better way to do it. As for 8 am, I am trying, I really am. By getting up at 8 it gives me actual time to clean and get somethings done. See what I meant by changing one thing so others can happen?
This weeks big goal is downsizing the kitchen, I already started clearing out extra dishes. It finally dawned on me, I don't need 2 dozen plates for the kids, just means I have to wash 2 dozen brightly colored plastic plates. This week I will be clearing out stuff we don't use, don't want, and the things we just have too many of. I mean do we really need that many coffee cups?
There is one more thing I want to address this post. My weight. It's something I have been struggling with for about 10 years and every month I plan to do a weigh in. No beating myself up allowed. Just an acknowledgement of where I am.

weight 256 lbs.
This is easily the heaviest I've been. After I had my son it's been very hard keeping up with. Things can only get better.
