Spring Cleaning

Erika Badu's song: "bag lady" is always on my mind when I feel that I've just got too many things stored in my closet, my purse, my car, and my head. It's always the same story: I need it all!

It's not true. I don't need all of those magazines. If I didn't make time to read them when I got them, why do I feel that I will, some how miraculously, read them when they are all in a stack stuffed onto my night stand? It's not going to happen. Giving up on those small things is not the end of the world. Especially, since it free's up my nightstand, car and life. It's always there in the back of my mind: " I have to read that magazine." I subscribe to amazing magazines by the way: wired, woman's health, fitness, psychology today, yoga journal to name a few. 

Now, I have to figure out what else i keep stacked away in my life that's creating a mess all over my world:

1. Facebook- Haha. I can waste thirty minutes on facebook without even trying. I love to read. I do, I am currently reading three books at the moment. I can't seem to finish them, because I find myself reading Time, or Daily dot articles when I'm scrolling down on my facebook. 
2. Battle Camp- It's a game my husband got me addicted to. It's very easy to play that game longer then I should.
3. Tea- I do not drink all of the tea I have. Now, I did find a box that I had useful during my sick period last week, but that was only one box. I own many. I definitely need to go through those boxes and clear out a ton of tea. 
4. Cans of beans- yes, i have a ton of these. I alway's wonder if i'll regret this during a natural disaster. I'll just pray this will never be the case. 
5. Old clothes- I still have my old high school clothes, and hair. That just needs to go. 
6. Negative thoughts- I don't need ice cream, i dont need candy, I am not fat. 

I know it's not yet spring, but I might as well start before the 20th. These few things are only the ones I can think of now. I will let go of my magazines someday. I will take the time to look through them and throw them before the 19th. It has to be done, it's a fire hazard. 

My yoga practice has been on a stand still since I fell ill a few weeks back. I'm missing it more than anything, and will return to it today. 

The resistance training is taking a while to find itself into my life again. Not that I don't love it. I just did a few exercises and my deltoids were killing me. I hate having shoulder pain. I have to remind myself that it's only a few minutes a day.

The Body composition meeting was pushed back to next week. I'll make sure to blog about that after I have my first evaluation. I'm really excited about it. Let's see what they say.
