It's been a year....

Wow, I can hardly believe that it has been a year since I last posted.  It has been a crazy year for sure.  We got pregnant shortly after my last post and had some complications with the pregnancy, forcing me to "take it easy" and basically do nothing but survival stuff during the pregnancy.  And I gave birth to the baby in January by c-section so there were 8 weeks of recovery where I was restricted on my activities.  Having 4 kids and restrictions make for a very unorganized house.

I was watching a documentary the other night on hoarders.  Scary stuff, I tell you.  I find that maybe I have some hoarding tendancies of my own.  Although I really hate it when things get messy and I constantly think about getting rid of stuff.  Not that I do very well at getting rid of it, but I know that I would never let it get to the point that those people do.  But it is bad enough for me.  So, seeing that show motivated me to get back into the swing of streamlining my life.  And it is perfect timing.  I am 8 weeks postpartum and all restrictions have been lifted.  I can get life under control again!

Part of that is getting rid of the baby weight that I have put on throughout my 4 pregnancies.  I really think that there is a correlation with holding on to "things" and holding on to extra pounds for me.  So, I embark on this journey with renewed energy and enthusiasm to achieve the life I want to live.

I was in the shower this morning thinking about this, and the thought came to me that I should do different posts for each day, and keep my focus shifting to keep things interesting for me.  This is what I came up with:

Modify Monday - This is where I focus and talk about the organizational improvements that I am making in my house each week.

Trash-it Tuesday - This is where I focus on getting rid of things that I no longer need.  Mostly donating or recycling, but I was going for alliteration here.

Weigh-In Wednesday - Yep, it's just like it sounds.  Wednesday is my weigh-in day.  And I will record my thoughts and feelings on weight loss each week.

Thoughtful Thursday - Just whatever I have on my mind.

Fitness Friday - Talking about what active things I have focused on each week.

Scrapbook Sunday - The day that I work on getting family history things done.  Write in journals, organize pictures, etc.

Saturday is my day off.  Let's see how this goes!
