My resolutions are:
- eat better: start cooking more and eating out less
- exercise more: practice yoga/Pilates again, use a standing desk at work
- declutter house
- no buy on makeup/beauty items Jan-March: can develop a wish list and purchase one or two items from it in April

Tasty lunch |
A quick go to meal for me is a bean and cheese burrito topped with salsa and Greek yogurt, salad and diced jalapeno peppers. It's easy to prepare and something I make frequently. I need to expand my repertoire, however, as food variety is important nutrition wise.
I rigged a primitive but functional standing desk that has the added bonus of being right next to my one office window, so I can look outside. I used it for about 3 hours Friday morning and I like it! I'm shooting for using it half of my office time, which will cut my sitting time in half. In case you are not aware of how bad for you sitting for long periods of time can be, check out Sitting All Day is Worse for You Than You Might Think.
I did yoga/Pilates for 30 minutes one morning and took a walk during lunch at work. Dog walking has been somewhat curtailed by weather, so I still need to step it up in the exercise area.
I cleaned and decluttered my dining room, which I use for a reading room. The table in it was a clutter magnet, as I tend to sit stuff on it as soon as I come in after work and the piles just grow and grow and grow. So, I made a concerted effort to not do that this week, as there's no point cleaning it off if I keep putting stuff back on it. Two rooms down, six more to go!
My no-buy is going well, and I can't say I've really been tempted by anything. I've still got plenty of new things to play with, so that's probably a big reason why. My wish list does have two items on it: a Chanel cream blush and Fluffy Bunny hand cream.
I'm thinking I need to add gym visits on the weekend, as I've got a gym membership that rarely gets used. I know I won't go during the week, but there's no reason I couldn't go on Saturdays and Sundays. I talked myself out of it this Saturday, however, because the weather was gorgeous and I decided I'd rather take the dogs for a long walk. So, that's what I did:-) I do need to step it up, however, so I think I'm going to wrap up this post and go do a yoga/Pilates DVD.
How was your week? Are you happy with how things went?
Wow all these food pictures, making me very hungry!!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, your house looks exactly like I would have expected, it's very you if that makes any sense haha.
Ha, that's good to know! I enjoy my house, even though it's an oldish (late 1940's?) ranch style house with all the quirks that come with those.
