Prosnackinator or procrastineater
It has been a week since I have written anything new. My current project is the dining room table made from repurposed old corral boards from where I grew up. I am making good progress on it and am looking forward to posting pictures when I am done.
During this time I have also been taking steps to be more conscious of my eating habits. I have always been a rather wholesome, healthy eater but feel that I need to make some changes as indicated by the fact that I gained 10 pounds since our move to Oregon. Like the majority of women, I already felt that I needed to drop a few pounds, so things weren’t heading in the right direction. Some of the gain was attributed to more eating out. We have enjoyed exploring the new area and one of the fun discoveries are all the new places to eat. We love breweries, but the calories can really add up with the side of fries and a couple IPA’s.
During my quest for more personal fulfillment, I have been coming up with a lot of ideas of things that I would like to do, make or experience. Old habits are stubborn things though and the mind/ego can play some tricky psych games when you are trying to break into a new you.
One of my lifelong stumbling blocks is procrastinating doing something new. Maybe I should just give it a little more thought and while I’m thinking, I could have a snack. I haven’t baked cookies in a while. That would be good. I can start my whatever it is after I’ve baked, cleaned the kitchen and consumed four chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk. Oh my, would you look at the time. Well, there is always tomorrow.
You can see were I go with this. That is why this week I decided that I am definitely a prosnackinator or (and I think I like this one better) a procrastineater. Admitting you have a problem is a big step towards recovery. This week I made sawdust and not cookies. Woohoo!
I’ll touch base again soon. Till then, stay lean and mean!
