Tackle the world

Yesterday I did a big closet(s) clean-out. A little late spring cleaning. Feels great to purge my life of some unwanted baggage. This is a giant hurdle as I usually don't like to part from clothes since I don't have many but I decided to let go and be rid of all that "extra" stuff. I had piles of clothes of "still could fit" or "wish could fit" but as Stacey and Clinton would say - this does not help and only adds extra stress. Now I am still on my own path of finding what my body can look like free from disease and I want to accentuate this amazing change even if sometimes I wish I could take a few inches off here, loose a little there - but then again, who doesn't!

I got Dave in the mix since he is also doing some serious work to change his body and had many items to be rid of - plus some extras that I felt MUST go. Now the closets are clear, organized and we have 2 Costco bags of clothes along with a few big tickets items for re-sell.

I am trying to be a little be more productive than reactionary. I want to be able to do more, accomplish more without all that "I would really like too". Even today I came home and tackled a few items off my to do list in a matter of 20 minutes. Now with them crossed off I feel like I could tackle any hurdle - perhaps even this stack of essays in front of me...or maybe I could so something else.
