Day 26: I need to get my life in order

So, yes, I went to the gym today (and had heaps of energy, hurrah!), but that was probably undone by a rather rich and decadent dinner of raw vegan "dips" (guac, curried paté and lemony zucchini) with crudités of carrot, capsicum and celery. All very tasty, all very rich! We're thinking of having them at Xmas and not telling anyone that they're raw vegan, actually...

But that's not really what I want to talk about today. Since I finished Uni I've been at something of a loose end, looking for a job and having a lot of time on my hands. I made a commitment to spring clean my bedroom (wardrobe, desk, etc) when I handed in my research, and so far all I have done in the past couple of weeks is sort through my clothes. Which was great and everything, but 2-3 weeks for that?? Yes, there have been other things on, but too often I've been spending my time on mindless crap that doesn't enrich me or my life (or anyone else's) in any way.

I'm not entirely sure how to get this thing done (the deadline is Wednesday night, as the spring cleaner is coming on Thursday and I'm flying out to visit The Bear on Thursday morning, anyway), but I know that I must. One tactic will be to turn my computer off and leave it off! I will also not just make goals, but write them down, as I was taught in my course the other morning. I want to get my life organised, and I enjoy fantasising about doing it, but now I must just DO IT.

I have an idea for how I'm going to systematise my filing of teaching materials, but that will take a little extra time in the execution. I'm looking forward to that bit, actually. Gotta love the Capricorn in me! (And I've just checked: I've got a Capricorn moon on Sunday & Monday and a Virgo moon in mid-December right when I need it for my filing plan. The stars are with me on this one!)

Okay, so I know what I must do, now I just need to bloody well do it. (And hit the gym again tomorrow to try and counteract tonight's dinner!)

Current weight: 75.2kg (-6.9kg, or 15.18lbs)
Current body-fat percentage: 36.2%
Current feeling: Feeling down about aspects of the past, positive about the changes for the future.
