Today is when I am starting to restore some sanity about money and health and needing STUFF  to my life through small steps.

1. I am halfway through cleaning the closet and throwing stuff out. There is a lot I have not worn in two years because it no longer fits and will never fit again (small baby girl t-shirts -- no), is no longer in style, or because well for a year or so most of the time all I needed was pajamas when I was working from home while dealing with illness.  Every time I opened the closet I felt discouraged and it is time to just get rid of stuff.  I also got rid of many shoes and purses.  My feet have changed and my love affair with high heels is not a healthy one right now.  I am also going to Arkansas next week for a few days and all my cold weather clothes were in there somewhere.  I found them.

2. I am on a diet to eat more healthy and fewer calories, as well as to eat what is in the freezer and pantry so I can make better choices in the future.  Thus I am combining some frozen shrimp with some frozen steamed vegetables for lunch.  I have a feeling those combos will get a little ugly the further I get into eating through the freezer ;0)

3. I need to drink more water and less of everything else although I am never ever going to give up the iced tea ;0)  It is my major vice.  We also have about 10 huge jugs of bottled water bought for a hurricane season that was calm.  So I need to drink them for reason #2 as well.

I hope to be leaner and smarter in six months.  One can dream ;0)
