my 40 in 40 list

40 bags in 40 days

I couldn't be more excited about this challenge. If anyone needs to get rid of stuff, it's me!

I saw this challenge over at "Little Lucy Lu"

The challenge in short: Fill up 40 bags of things to dump (trash, donate, etc) within 40 days. You can use multiple bags for larger spaces (2 bags for your dresser drawers, for instance).

This is the perfect challenge for me during the month of January as this month's focus is 'energy' for my Happiness Project and cleanliness and organization produces a better vibe, hence better energy.

I will post my 40 bags in 40 days list soon!

planning a diet over a cheat meal! HA!

so, i haven't posted anything in about a gazillion years and i don't even know that i can keep this up, but i feel inclined to write about my resolutions and aspirations for the new year.

i have started reading The Happiness Project again, which has been really motivating. In my head, it was almost as if i couldn't really start my own happiness project until january since that how she structured her project. This month i am focused on:

energy

just like the author, i am convinced that if i can get my energy better under control other things will more easily fall into place. I have put post it notes all over my bathroom mirrors with sayings such as:

"don't put it down, put it away"

"if it takes less than a minute, DO IT!"

"If you can't find something, clean up!"

"eat well"

speaking of the last one...we met with Dana, Rich and Hay Hay at Mi Rancho (yum) tonight to hang out and i finally had a chance to wrap my head around some food questions. Dana has been rocking out the diet this week and i have been a slacker. watch out thursday, here i come! the second i got home i packed my meals for tomorrow, so i guess all it took was a little diet planning over a cheat meal! oh, the irony :-)

i hope to post more again soon...we'll see...
