Spring Cleaning

You would think with Brett being gone for almost 2 weeks that I would find some fun things to do around here. Not the case. I have decided that I am going to do a Spring cleaning like no other (even though it is not Spring yet). The reason for this is simple - too many things going on in a very short period of time.

We are getting married at the end of April. We have bought a condo that should be done by the end of June. Our lease ends in May. We were going to pay monthly until the condo was ready and we could move out. Problem here is that Brett will be gone for almost the entire month of June and we leave for our honeymoon at the end of June. So the solution is I will go home to Cleveland with the dog and hang out there while Brett is at Fort Knox and we will move out of current house at the end of May and put everything in storage.

With this being said, I figured I better do a good cleaning now and then it won't be so much work come the end of May. I want everything to look better than it did when we moved in so that we get our whole deposit back. We would like to use this money in Hawaii. I have charted out 1 room a day while Brett is gone. I am going to do windows, doors, floor boards and carpets. I am half tempted to wash the carpets too but I don't feel like renting a carpet cleaner.

And maybe I will get to work on my wedding scrapbook a little also while he is gone!!

A revelation

I am very unmotivated to work out every day. I know in order to obtain the weight and body that I want this is necessary. However, I hate doing it. I think I have finally figured out why I don't like it. Being indoors.

I think when I am indoors I think about it too much. I pay attention to the clock too much and not on what I am supposed to be doing. When I am outdoors I don't pay attention to the time but just on what I am supposed to be doing and my surroundings.

I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so I can go and ride my bike or go for a walk (not up to running yet but hopefully by the end of the summer). I am also going to take up golf this summer and will be playing softball a couple days a week. Hopefully I will be able to keep the weight off that I have already lost and lose a few more pounds and tone up before our honeymoon in June.
