great day already and it's only 2:30

So... today has been awesome! I feel fantastic for a change, so that is nice!

Last night after I blogged, I made up two charts for myself. One is a personal goal chart and the other is a cleaning chart. I get overwhelmed when I have to clean the whole house, so basically I divided all of the "main" chores onto seperate days of the week so that every week my entire house gets cleaned. And then I also have a few chores that I do everyday. I know that a cleaning chart probably seems unrelated to my weight loss, but if I can organize my house and keep it cleaned for some reason I am better at being goal oriented. Maybe that makes sense. :)

Anyways, about my personal goal chart. I have things like my maximum caloric intake and 30 minutes on the treadmill... but I also have things like getting ready, put on some makeup, and brush teeth after breakfast, lunch, and dinner (I hear you're less likely to eat in between meals if you have freshly brushed teeth) and going on a walk at least 4 times per week. I get in the habit of just staying in my pajamas all day, so having a goal to get ready every day is good for me. And strangely enough when I get ready for the day I feel happier.

So far I have completed all of my daily cleaning duties (besides the ones that I will do right after dinner and before bedtime) and I have done well with all of my personal goals. I feel fantastic. Not only has the day not dragged on, but my house is mostly clean, I've exercised, I've eaten healthy, and I've been ready for hours now. It feels good to FEEL GOOD! :)
