Feelin' All Right

So far, I'm feeling good about the changes in 2015!

Foodstuffs:
The CSA is treating us well. We've eaten almost everything that we received in the first two shares, which is where I was afraid we'd fail miserably. I also realized today that our grocery bill has decreased significantly. Because of the holiday craziness, I wasn't able to tell if the food bill dropped from mid-December through January 1, but I can definitely tell a difference in the last two weeks. Pinterest is great for recipes that are helping me cook with what we have on hand instead of dropping into the grocery store for small purchases a few times a week. Other than things we eat all the time like zucchini, peppers, onions and potatoes, I don't think we've had to get much produce at all. 

Simplification:
As of Sunday, my closet is cleaned up. It's not cleaned out yet - that will come - but it's getting there. My clothes, when they weren't strewn haphazardly around the closet, have always been organized by pants, dresses, skirts, shirts, tank tops, etc. This time, I went through almost every article of clothing and have it arranged by what fits me right now, what should fit me in a month (if I eat well and treat my body right), what should fit me in three months, and what will be donated/sold if it doesn't fit me by summer. By summer, I plan to start on whatever version of Project 333 I decide to use. So the change in my closet is a process, but I hope to see excellent results over time.

My friend Melissa sent me a challenge earlier this week. Starting February 1, I will get rid of one thing from my house. On February 2, two things. And so on until Day 28, when I get rid of 28 things. While I know that I might not make it the entire month, if I make it, I will have gotten rid of more than 400 things that I don't need or that don't bring me joy. That's a lot of stuff I wouldn't have to wash, dust or deal with in any way.

Other:
Our 4DX scorecards are posted on our bathroom door and in use as of Monday. I'm supposed to be doing 30 minutes of cardio four times a week. I expect that to start next week (minor oral surgery Monday morning has put a little hitch in my get-along), but for now, all of my non-exercise goals for the week are being met. I'll find out Monday morning if my goals for the week are moving the levers. Cross your fingers for me …

I hope you're all having a wonderful New Year!
