Procrastination

Clearly this post will take a while just based on the tittle.   I had a 4 day weekend this week. I am very guilty to say I have been very unproductive. I have a long to do list, yet I see here and play games on the computer. I write this blog, and I watch TV.  I should be cleaning, organizing, making cards and working on some projects I want to do.   I guess the saying a "body in motion stays in motion" is so true. Case sitting in this chair although comfortable is not leading me to movement.

Lesson Learned

Several months ago I had a craving for a Tootsie Roll. I just let it smolder in my brain for a day thinking the craving will pass by simply ignoring it.  Went about my business doing my daily chores and all the other things one tends to do during a work day.  Again a section of my brain is starting to get louder in my head saying "tootsie roll, tootsie roll.....TOOTSIE ROLL... so I went to the gift shop in the hospital I work. they had everything but tootsie rolls.    At least the trip was not for nothing as the walking counted as exercise.  I had to stop at the drug store on the way home from work so I checked out Rite Aid's candy selection.  They have a bag of tootsie roll midgets,also the bag with all the lollipops etc I think they call its Child's Play or something like that.  No single tootsie rolls to be found. So the next thing I know I have two of those Russell Stover boxes the one's with 4 chocolates in it.  I ate them and enjoyed them but definitely had more calories than the tootsie roll. It also later in the evening had one of the last gallbladder attacks I would have prior to my surgery to remove the gallbladder.  Moral of this story; Just give in an enjoy the craving then move on. and don't look back.   

New Party Tricks

I was thinking about changing my Facebook status to something like. Can someone tell me how to turn off the ball fetching switch on a Jack Russell Terrier cause I was getting tired of playing ball.  Much like Lucy in Charlie Brown "oh dog spit...yuck" and this ball was getting soggy.  At some point in the ball playing moment it hit me. 60 lbs gone means that I can bend over while sitting in the chair and pick something up off the floor. I can even reach a little way under the chair.   It's fun to suddenly realize that I am doing things that I couldn't do before the weight loss. Lots of work left to do but these moments make it seem like a little less work and a little more fun. 

Thanks for reading.  Oh I got a self help book on Procrastination so perhaps I will learn how to post when the content of the blog hits instead of months later....Unless I procrastinate about picking up the self help book about Procrastination.  

Thanks for reading.
