As everyone knows that this blog is about all the things from me and my mommy adventures with my daughter to the wonders of my dieting program that I started last year. Well this year I am changing the goal of my blog up a bit. I will still be talking about the wonders of being a mom but I will also be talking about my new obsession... organizing and DIY creations, along with my diet plan and some new health obsessions that have taken over me in the last few months.
First off I would love to start off by saying thank you to all who have been reading and keeping up with my blog over the last several months. It means a lot to me.
Next, a little update with my diet. I have been cutting out a lot of fatty foods and I have cut out on red meats and started doing more leg exercises to try to shape up as I lose weight. Currently I am down to 179 lbs and still losing towards my goal to 128-135 (still trying to figure out what would really be best for me). Oh and I also cut back on my pitfall of ramen noodles. Hard to do for me believe me but I have cut it down to once a week and no more than one pack during that day. So far so good ^_^
A little something I am starting to work on right now to help me with some household up keeping is a family binder and getting a central command station set up. Now being the fact that we live in a small one bedroom apartment, we don't have that much space and of course like most renters, you can't do much of anything to the fixtures. So I am working around with my command center being my dining room table. Sadly, my station has been moved several times already so I am still trying to find a more permanent place but for now the table is the easiest spot.
Now my family binder is right now just a plain binder with notebook paper, pocket folder dividers, and page protectors. Make sure if you are making a family binder that all need to know contacts and emergency contacts are in the beginning of the book!! I can't stress that enough. Also, get a calendar that can go inside the binder as well to keep track of all important dates and appointments. My sections are filled up with contacts, calendar, To do lists, Menu Planning, Family Budget. This is my way of keeping everything neat and organized. You can organize your binder however you like.
I am working on trying to remove mental clutter and physical clutter and this is my first step to decluttering my life. Good luck everyone! I am off to start living my life the way I was intended too! That and Klaire is pulling me away ^_^
Have a happy rest of the week ^_^
