My friend procrastination is back!

Back again. Woke up very early (sixish) and have done nothing so far this morning. Not entirely true, I have spent time on the computer. I've done a bit of work, but I certainly have not done anything physical in any way..............my friend procrastination has reared her head again.

My life is full of so many great ideas and good intentions but I just can't get it together. Probably the best thing to do is log off this computer and get going. Lists help me. If I put together a do-to list I feel more compelled to actually do it. Here goes.............

1. Shower/dress (pathetic I have to force myself to do this)
2. LEGO tournament at Niagara College
3. clean condo -recycling
4. laundry
5, visit exercise room
6. put together an exercise plan
7. log onto spark people
8 record nutrition
9make a list of work to be done this week-end
10 NAP!!!

tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life

Had a good day at work today. Not one complaint. I think it's a first! Came home a little earlier than ususal today so I am actually feeling not as tired as usual. It's Friday night and I am relaxing at home but I definitely am going out this week-end and not just lazing around all day at home as the last several week-ends have been.

Actually, I haven't really been lazing, just procratinating all the work I have to do. I sit here with my work and think about what I have to do but get distracted from the TV, the cross-words etc etc etc etc.

Tomorrow...............for sure!!!.............I am going to get up and get dressed and actually go for a walk. I now live in beautiful Port Dalhousie, right next to the lake so I am going to start to enjoy it! We even have a gym downstairs...........I don't have to drive to a gym, pay monthly dues..........the gym is right there and I am going to start to use it!! HONEST!! Like the blog says, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life.

Well, I guess that's not what it really says but let's hope it works....no more procrastination. I am finally going to lose this weight and keep it off and feel better about myself. The last time I lost weight I did it bit by bit and it really wasn't that hard, it was just being consistent. I felt so good, had lots of energy and I could go into stores and buy clothes I actually liked to wear!

Another stage of my life was when I was running. I really felt a sense of accomplishment then. I CAN DO IT!!! I just have to get off of my rear-end to do it............I have no one but myself to blame or praise.

I will keep posting on this blog my successes and losses as I go along.

I am here all alone. Kids are all on their own and hubby has gone to visit parents for the night. Just a call from the youngest who is gone to school in Kingston. Had a big fight the other night with her because she wanted me to co-sign a loan for her for a new car. I said NO! She is in school and needs to worry about school, not car parents etc etc. Her reasoning was that she got a new job so can afford the car and she needs the car to get to her job. To me it was just circular reasoning but I can't tell her anything. The call tonight she informed me she got financing on her own because she got an older car. She needs to learn on her own...........she won't learn from me as she just WON'T LISTEN!!!!!!

Since I am all alone..............I have been watching all of the episodes of the first season of Californication. It's interesting and it is making my life seem OK.

Being alone is just fine. All week long I have people talking to me, asking me questions, etc etc etc...... I come totally tired every night and then still have a few hours of work to do on the laptop. While I was getting my nails done today (on a Saturday, not a workday like some other principals I know) I was thinking about how many hours I put into work. I average about 55 hours a week........at least! It wouldn't bother me except I feel like I don't get any credit for it. Yes, of course I get a paycheque, but while others are getting their nails done during worktime, I am actually working very hard, thank you very much, and get no credit.

I thought that once we got a new director things would change, but after our last director's meeting it was the most blatant meeting yet of showing off the "ins" versus the "in-nots" I am definitely not one of the "ins". I don't know why it bothers me so much because I should be proud of what I do rather than who I know.

I had a lot of errands to run today. One of them was to get my car washed. It felt great driving my new car shining clean again. I also picked up a few groceries from Wright brothers (0nly fresh vegetables there) and I also picked out shoes from the Boot Shop. I am officially old as I am getting orthodics for my shoes. It is a Catch-22. Do I need orthodics because of my weight issues, or do I have weight issues because I need orthodics???

As this blog states, this is the First Day of the Rest of My Life. We have moved to a new condo in Port Dalhousie. I am going to have new orthodics!! This is certainly a new beginning!

There is so much going on and yet so little going on. I am so busy dealing with work I have such little time to deal with my life. In the new condo there is an exercise room and yet I haven't been in it since the real estate agent showed it to us months ago.......I can do it.........OK.........tomorrow is the day I actually go in there and DO SOMETHING!!!

If it is to be.............it is up to me................(I am so full of corny lines)
