It's Just Life

What's up with me? Why am I not writing here?

It's such a prosaic answer:  it's just life. No big thing, but many little things.

I think about this all the time. I yen to set fingers to keyboard. But I fall short of my aspirations to write, just as I fall short of my aspirations to do better in the diet and exercise world.

I want to:

• go through my closet and throw away all the clothes too big right now.
• get all of the discarded clothes out of the house and to a donation center.
• add early morning aerobic exercise on days I don't have a personal training appointment.
• get my bike fixed so I can ride it.
• walk more in the course of the day and evening.
• buy and cook better food.
• always pack a lunch.
• always have a good breakfast close at hand.
• have fruit for an afternoon snack each day.
• lose those last 15 pounds to get down to goal weight.
• pull out my cognitive behavior therapy diet workbook and start working through all the steps again.
• track every single bite through weight watchers.
• export my daily calorie and activity data from my magic device and spend time poring through the data looking for insights on how to be more effective.
• export my sleep data and look for patterns that will help me improve my effectiveness.
• write more here.
• build a plan to stop my evening overindulgences:  Change Anything
• hire a personal makeover consultant to revitalize my closet and take me shopping.
• hire a closet designer to redo my small closet space into a closet / dressing room.
• do lots more yoga.
• try zumba.
• spend more time outside.
• go through cookbooks to get some new more interesting recipes.
• empty and defrost the big basement freezer; start over with good stuff.

And that's just the diet and exercise-related items.

What I am sure I actually will do:

• keep going to the gym appointments till the money runs out.
• eat reasonably well during the day.
• cook some vegetables sometimes for dinner.
• start out most weeks tracking through weight watchers.
• get out for a walk at lunch at least once a week.

I might do some of the other stuff. I might not. Life just keeps on happening no matter how hard I try to slow things down so I can catch up.
