2023 Resolutions

Not sure whether to post here or in my journal thread. The wife is picking up a flat of medium moving boxes from Uhaul this morning. It's getting real

To save money, go to the liquor stores and get their boxes. We used dozens and dozens of them. And more dozens. Along with the wal mart ones too.

I did a BIG declutter of my basement. Stuffed my car with trash and donations! More purging is needed...

We discussed, the ease and uniformity, plus using movers, seemed to be worth the cost.

Mover estimator person coming tomorrow morning.

1. Do at least 3 virtual 5Ks. Maybe walk several in-person 5Ks to get over my fear of them.
2. Walk/jog/run 100 miles (treadmill counts).
3. Walk Splash 75 minutes/week for 8 weeks toward FIT Dog bronze title. (I started in 2022, and will have 4 or 5 weeks left).
4. Lose the 10# I gained in Sept-Oct 2022, and another 5 - 10#. Goal weight 120 - 130.
5. Practice better (more frequent) self-care
6. Clean my basement and upstairs. Keep them clean?
7. Use what I already have. This applies to yarn and fabric stash, beauty and fitness items, dog gear, etc. I have plenty but forget about whatever is in storage.
8. Work on my dog training CEU. Possibly by writing a book. Complete FIT Dog instructor training for levels 2 and 3. Get my act together and teach some classes and/or start a FIT Dog club this summer.

I started working on #7 - using what I have. I'm currently working on some portraits I abandoned about 6-7 years ago because DS8 would sneak to my studio and smear the graphite.

I also went through dog gear. Lots I've been saving for teaching classes - I took those to work. Took my dog-related reference books to work too.

DH took a big box of hanging file folders from the basement to use at the new vet clinic. I have been wanting to get rid of those somehow!

Well duh. Community pick up is tomorrow. When I called to check with the trash hauler, we can have up to 7 bags in addition to the can. Well that would have been nice to know over the summer.

Anyways, the wife suggested tossing a beat night stand that has been not in the house since she moved up here. That is out with the trash. I tossed some old plastic pots, which I have no idea why I have held onto them for 10 years. Since technically I am tossing more than her volume wise, I think that helps.

She has three garbage bags of clothes to donate. She also went through the kitchen cabinets to toss outdated food. Twas a good day

The hole in the garage is bigger

I'm officially in my goal weight range, and down a clothing size. I'm in my "happy" size now! I "shopped" and decluttered the clothes I stored in this size. 2 bags to goodwill.
