26 June 2019 - Diet Diary - Not feeling real committed today, ate well in the morning but late afternoon got into a little snack fit. Pulled it back together, had the last of the cauliflower salad with another cup of chopped kale and a handful of day lily buds added for supper. Exceeded where I would like to have been for the day but still came in under 1300 for intake.
Got started on organizing the library again. That project started strong 3-4 weeks ago then stalled out with much of the closet contents drug into the room. Decided it had to get moving again, there is a lot of stuff that could be gotten rid of but it is a challenge. Never mind what they say about holding the thing and seeing if it brings you joy and if not, out it goes. You would be surprised how easy it is to get joy from that computer cable that you don't remember exactly what it connects and that 2" plastic statue of Garfield in a bow tie with a mic. And if it doesn't give you joy right this minute, you can definitely see the potential for future joy. Anyway, the project will take time. Small steps.
Kind of like weight loss, keep plugging along, even if it is hard or seems insurmountable. The struggle is real but small steps and perseverance will eventually get you there. I have to keep reminding myself of this, on many things.
I have a drawer full of those cables. My fear is that if I get rid of them I will then discover they are essential. This is totally irrational since they have been in the drawer now for several years and if I needed a cable I could buy one. That's the way we are though!
Therein lies the problem. So many things sit unused but when I think of getting rid of them, I immediately think that at any moment I could need it. And, of course, that has happened a few times which only reinforces my conviction that the theory is true.
