My list….

Posted January 11, 2008
File under: Weight Loss

So, I’ve developed something that I think will help me keep track of myself and my life better. Not as far as food, but as far as what I do every day.

My problem is that I stay at home, and I take care of the baby and pretty much do nothing all day. I procrastinate a lot, especially when I get depressed. I tend to just forget everything, and if I don’t forget, I just stop caring all together.

So on my computer, I made a chart on excell that has the days of the week across the top, and everything I need to do, down the side. If I do it, I can check it off. If I do twice as much, I can check it twice, if I do it three times as much I can check it three times, Get the picture? But I have to do each thing at least once.

Here’s what I have to do.

  Sun Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat

    Looks like you are a list girl just like me. You have some great stuff there and it will be a reminder to you to get those things done. I hope it works for you!

    Oh, and I am a stay at home too and my daughter is 2 now but when she was a baby it was hard. For some women they love it. For me it was a little harder and there times it felt pretty lonely and that didn’t help my motivation either. But, with time and some commitment to my health, things got better. Not to mention my daugther got older and easier to manage. Again, I wish you all the best.

    I’m with Wonder Woman, as a stay-at-home mom it has been joyous and exhausting. The list may help with getting things done but also remember that taking care of Maddie is doing something even if it doesn’t feel like it. Also, for the first 2 years finding social opportunites was really important to me! You are doing great!

    I think having a plan is an excellent idea (I’m a list person too) just make sure you don’t beat yourself up about it if you miss a thing or two (except feeding Maddie - don’t forget to do that although I noticed it’s not on your list!) ;) Just teasing you - good luck with your plan.
