Busy, frustrating few days...

It's a week tomorrow since my first blogging class. It's been a wicked few days of spinning and really making no progress. Working on the house, trying my best to keep up. The house. Yep. A big mess.  Many years of neglect, overpacked, and just plain messy and dirty.  When you own a home, maintenance is a very important part of being a home owner. When none is done, other than repairs, when it's time to move, if you want a fair market price for your home, work must be done to bring it up to par, and make it presentable and saleable.  So for the past few weekends, we have been weekend warriors. Delving into the mess, sorting, packing, deciding what to keep, what to discard, and what to fix and replace. There is a lot of that going on. And boy is it ever an energy drainer. Details of what we have "fixed", replaced and cleaned are amazing for the time frame we are in. There is so much more to do it is totally overwhelming. I have limited mobility and health issues, so it is impossible to imagine that all will be done within the time frame set. Friday, I missed my most loved and helpful seated yoga class, to wait for the carpet person to come to estimate cost of replacing 15 year old, horrible condition carpeting. Well the price is doable, but again the time frame. Next Saturday? Are you kidding me? There are tons of small items to pack, so the furniture can be moved to install the carpet. Yikes! Too much! I have a HUGE bookcase, with glass doors that must be moved, so all the books must be removed and packed. Books are heavy. Did a few boxes last nite, and we took them to the storage facility. The upside is that they are packed and ready for the move. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. I will be doing my very best to get what needs to be done, done. So now how does this relate to my weight loss journey. A valuable lesson in each step taken towards moving. Mostly, take care of what needs to be done, be prepared, and stay positive. Letting things go is not the answer. Stay on top of the situation. As Mom always says "don't put off tomorrow what you can do today".  Neglecting your home, your body, your health does not pay off. To recoup the damages is so much costlier than having a well maintained life. I have been on track for 2 days, and doing my very best to remain so. Have a great evening!
