Happy May!

Can you believe it?!

It's May already, and that means we're closer to summer weather! I'm looking forward to scooting all around on some new adventures. It's going to be a crazy busy summer for me, I have a lot of travel plans and people I need to go visit.

I'm super worried about my appointment on Thursday. No matter what I freaking do this week, I can't seem to shed off the three pounds I gained back. It's literally driving me insane. Tomorrow I have a lot of errands to run, and I'm hoping to get some outside time so I can burn off some calories. I'm starting to think that my stress level is the culprit of this weeks weight plateau. Hopefully that all will change in this week, or at least I can attempt to get my stress level under control. It's amazing the things that stress can do to your body. However, I am  not lucky enough to be one of those people who just magically lose weight due to it. Bastards. 

I definitely need to get more than one thing under control. There's lots to do on my car this week and I need to clean the bitch out. My car is usually immaculate, but my trunk is a complete and utter disaster. Looks like a shoe store back there. Let's face it ladies, when you're out sometimes you need a selection of shoes with you. Whether its changing out of heels into flats, or sneakers into flip flops. A girl has got to have variety! Not only is this a problem, but my room should have caution tape all around it. I'm going to clear out some old threads, in order to make room for new ones. I usually do this like once it hits Spring, but the weather hasn't been steady enough to get rid of my long sleeves. PLUS my co-workers have been bugging me about my scrub pants. I wear scrub pants and usually a fitted top. Scrub tops make me feel frumpy and the ones I have look like a parachute on me now. Yes of course, its such a GREAT thing--but not for my wallet. The thing is, if I put my cell phone in my scrub pocket...my pants VISIBLY start sagging down on one side like I'm about to lose them! The strings are pulled as tight as they will go, and I've put buying scrubs off for six months now. Time to clear the old and bring in the new!

Cleaning does something really therapeutic for me. I'm positive it calms everything down. When your head is full of chaos, having control of your environment gives you that sense of stability back. Don't expect me to go on a cleaning spree through all of my house, or yours thought! Just having my things in order, is enough to set me straight sometimes. It's like having a really crappy day and getting in the tub for a bubble bath. Sleeping better with fresh smelling sheets on your bed, always gets you a good nights rest. When you're head is spinning out of control, you've got to find when your safe zone is again and begin to gather yourself up. This is definitely easier said then done. Took me years to figure out how to calm myself down, and I'm definitely still learning!

As always, I'm going to be super busy this week off. Main focus for me, is on myself. I'm taking time off to do things I want and need to do. Can't be concerned with having responsibilities to other people, and I certainly can't feel relaxed if I'm catering to someone else. I plan on treating myself to a lot of things this week. Not weight loss gifts to myself, but lifestyle gifts to myself. Part of losing weight is reaping the changes and benefits from it. Sometimes you have to get out there and show yourself how much you've transformed!
