R3–Third week of P3–161.5

Weight: 161.5

I am up over my LIW by 4.5 pounds, in this last week of P3.  However, for the past 3 days I have been rock solid at this weight!  I've not been counting calories or adding my food to Spark, although I think that's a great idea and a habit I want to get back to.

I'm not entirely sure if being up by 5 pounds is my former bad eating habits and the "whew, I can finally eat" syndrome, or my body just naturally adjusting back to that weight.  Maybe...probably...a combination of both.

I've done the elliptical once this week and can feel I need to do it again, but my current excuse (yes, it's an excuse) is that I'm trying to maximize the rest of the next 5 days I have off and there is plenty to do; seems I get a pretty late start when I get up at 7am, then exercise, then get myself cleaned up and have breakfast...the day is half over!  Ha!  I crack myself up!

So, what am I doing?  Well, I've been planning to clear off my desk for the past 4 days, and doing a pretty good job of avoiding tackling it again today.

Procrastination is probably one of my biggest downfalls...so, addressing this bad habit is going to go hand in hand with my "de-cluttering" focus.  I started de-cluttering some of my small piles last year, and it felt great, then I stopped when I got busy with school, dieting, and working on other projects.

Now I am considering it as an extension of my "makeover"...I've gotten rid of almost 50 pounds, now I'm going to get rid of paper piles and the procrastination that seems to breed them.

Today I even came up with a way to mentally re-frame some of the weekly tasks I need to do which are part of this problem...I am going to "put my house in order" one day each week.  Sunday after brunch is my currently planned time, one that isn't likely to get rescheduled and has the most likelihood of success.

There's more on this to-do list, but I need to get back to "the abyss"....
