Woke up with the headache version of a hangover, so I laid in bed, ate goldfish crackers and watched How I Met Your Mother.
After feeling like a pathetic shell of a human, I got up, laid in the bathtub with my iPhone (a potentially expensive bath if my hands get slippery, I know) and read the past few UFYH blogs to get myself motivated.
I stole a Clean Your House playlist from Spotify and started simple with “Make your bed.” and moved on to sorting down the laundry that I would most need for next week and then throwing away 50 things. I definitely trashed more than 50 — in fact, I filled 1 1/2 trashbags with nonsense.
My method of a quick clean-up has always been to dump everything into big plastic tubs and shove them into my closet. Then, when I am feeling especially motivated, I grab the tub and try to consolidate. Today I combined two tubs into one. Baby steps, people. I put all of my gift wrapping stuff from holidays and recent birthdays into my newly organized under-the-bed storage box, shredded all of my old mail and grabbed one file folder and stuck everything I need to keep into it. That’s in the filing cabinet for when I have time to sort and re-file everything. Right now, it’s more important that the visible areas are clean. All of my make-up has been stuffed into make-up bags until I can actually sit down and dump it all out.
Guys, I even HANDWASHED clothes in the bathroom sink today. God bless Woolite.
Definitely making visible headway. Definitely going to stick to this “Throw away 50 things” concept. I have enough stuff to do this for days.
Also, did I mention that I have unfucked my lack of exercise? I’ve been eating healthy, eating regularly, and exercising with Jillian Michaels regularly. I’m down 5 pounds since I started at the beginning of the year. Don’t need to lose weight… just the flub that has been pooling in my tummy for years. Again. Baby steps.
Great job!
(The “throw 50 things away” is not actually a UfYH thing. I reblogged it from somewhere, but it seems to work really well for a lot of Team UfYH. Just don’t want to take any credit where it isn’t due!)
