Here's what I've done this week that I need to confess:
- I really want to work out and be more toned, but I'm finding no motivation in this. I don't remember the last time I worked out, probably before Halloween.
- I have seriously thought about taking down my whole Christmas tree just because I want to put different lights on the tree. This would be so much work though. And everyone thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do this.
- I've caught myself talking about my dogs way too much to people who don't care. People think I'm insane and I'm really starting to notice the eye rolls.
- I'm really hating my shopping problem. I'm starting to get stuck back in my old cycle of spending too much money when I could be paying down my student debt. When I finish my closet transformation, I will have to show you guys a picture of the endless amount of clothes that I have because it's really ridiculous. It's come to the point that whenever I have people over, my friends will make the new people go into my closet to make fun of me.
- I get overly excited about Christmas and people also think I'm insane for that. I constantly have the biggest smile on my face (which is a good thing people!) but people just think it's a creepy smile.
- As I'm typing this, I'm watching my neighbors leaves fly into my yard and I just want to walk outside and blow them back on over because I'm sick of this. I don't know why this upsets me because the BF rakes, not me, so it's just something that he'll have to do .

December 4, 2011 at 11:09 amMy confession: My goal was to buy myself no clothes this year, well, my husband by way of "gifts" has practically doubled my wardrobe for me! I have NO ROOM to keep my clothes, so they're piled on a box outside my closet. Ugh! :/

December 4, 2011 at 11:47 amDon't be so hard on yourself; it's a stressful time of the year. I hear you on the working out. I have been dealing with bursitis and sciatica for over 9 months and was in so pain that it was hard to work out. After 2 specialists and no improvement, I decided to go back to my primary Dr. who diagnosed and treated the problem. For the first time in months I am almost pain free. So I will be jumping back on that treadmill this week.Precious

December 4, 2011 at 4:36 pmGetting the motivation to work out is difficult. Sometimes, when I really don't want to, the only thing that will make me do it is changing into my workout clothes. Then I feel like I have to, and I'm too lazy to change out of them.. lol!

December 4, 2011 at 6:31 pmI am with you on the leaf thing! I don't even rake either. I didn't track my spending this weekend. I know we didn't do too bad and we saved for our getaway but I wish I had kept track better.

December 4, 2011 at 8:28 pmMy confession – I'm beginning to freak people out about Xmas too, specifically my in-laws. I've gone a bit over the top, and bought my dog a bunch of Xmas clothes… and he's not a teeny tiny little dog. He's a big mutt that now has a Xmas scarf and coat!And for the working out… I was lacking motivation hardcore, but then a friend of mine setup a group on Facebook… we all vow to work out 30 minutes a day for the month and give something up like Potato Chips or soda. It's amazing how well it's working when you're doing it with a group of people 🙂

December 4, 2011 at 9:32 pmI think you have a lovely tree. I don't see why you want to change it but if it makes you happy, go ahead 🙂

December 4, 2011 at 11:09 pmI can relate to so many of these- I talk about my pets WAY too much, show their pictures all the time…yeah it's out of control. haha and I just started working out, like ever….so don't feel bad! It only took me 23 years!
Jax says
December 4, 2011 at 11:12 pmI have ZERO motivation to work out, too. I mentally picture myself workout out but it's the physical activity I can't really do… haha…

December 5, 2011 at 3:09 am2/3 of the items on your list are things you think make other people judge you. Stop worry about whether other people think you're crazy or talk about this too much or buy too much of that. Think about whether YOU think those behaviors are bad, and work on fixing the ones you do.
