Reboot my booty!

 In the midst of another sleepless night, flopping around like a beached whale, I found this link posted on my Facebook wall.  A friend thought I would like it.  And I really, really did. 

 

Or.....whale. Whatever.  The thought being a large mammal thrashing around in bed.

Seven Things I Did to Reboot My Life

The minute I read it I thought, "YES, a reboot.  THIS is a great idea.  I can do this."  Nobody loves a blueprint more than me.  No-damn-body.  If there was ever a bitch who LOVES rules and a plan, it's this bitch. 

 And THEN I la-la-love to break the rules I set out for myself...because of who I am as a person.

I do what I want! -Cartman

So I decided to come up with my own list of things that will help me get back in touch with my authentic self....you know, the self without all the BULLSHIT.  So here goes.

1.  Drink less wine (less alcohol).  If I reduce my wine, I reduce my calories. I reduce the chances of eating crap food.  I reduce insomnia and I reduce belly fat.  These are all GREAT things that make me feel happy.  So, no more Friday night wine (just cuz) or I've had a shitty day wine, or I'm going to reward myself with wine.  Wine on special occasions! <meep -_->

OMG, yes.

2.  Ditch the scale.  I literally went ONE day without the scale.  One.  WHAT A PUSSY! My anxiety level yesterday was through THE FUCKING roof!  This morning as Matt went out to get coffee, I tip toed out to the closet, snuck it back into the bathroom to use it, then tip toed that shit back out.  Like a fucking crack addict.  Shameful.....honestly.  I can DO this.

Anxious all day...

3.  Spend less time on Facebook/on my phone.  Enough said.  Interact more with people.  Gulp.  Try to embrace social interactions and plans I make, rather than dread them.  Be brave, be bold, be present.

Troof.

4.  Read more REAL books....the paper kind (not digital).  Connect with the written word.  It always brings me peace.

5.  Cook healthy meals for the family after work.  No more "We are so busy" bullshit.  Yes, I work full time.  Yes, my family is busy.  Yes, it is my job to feed this family properly.  Make the kids sit and EAT THE FUCKING MEAL I PREPARED.

6.  Meditate daily on my bolster (not in bed).  DAILY.  With candles. Because I like candles.

7.  Research sleep.  Get more of it nightly.  FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT.

8.  Simplify EVERYTHING.  Spend less, need less, want less.
  
This is the reboot.  I got this.  Change is good, change is good, change is good....

Later, sexy bitchezzzzz!
