[QUOTE="Lil, post: 647438, member: 17309"] I know we can do this. I agree the biggest problem is just starting. Have you ever had a job SO BIG you didn't know where to start? Like, getting behind at work, or having a yard that is just SO overgrown...and it's like that...I sit and look at it and just...look. It's just so much you don't know what the first step should be. In this case, it's kind of our whole lives that have gotten out of control. 1. Kid - and all the attendant drama 2. Three jobs between the two of us 3. House cleaning - which is HUGE. Literally EVERY room in the house is a disaster! 4. House remodel, which involves a) the contractor finishing b) painting c) flooring d) basic repairs 5. Church commitments a) My duties as board secretary b) both of us on committees c) Jabber serves as elder d) Jabber in choir (though he's mostly quit) e) we run video for shut-ins 6. Losing weight - LOTS of weight - SO much weight! Now: 7. we're looking at real estate too! What comes first? The house? The meal plans? Where do we fit in the exercise we need to do? Between getting off work at 5 and going to a church meeting at 6 that might last until 7:30? After 8 when we get home? We NEED to get that house cleaned. We WANT to get the Hell away from it all and so we spend the weekend looking at real estate that will take even more time away from the house when we get it! We are NEVER going to sell our house if we don't get it cleaned and repaired and while the recreational real estate we're looking at makes the move less urgent, it still needs done! I'm exhausted! Before, on WW, we would cook then automatically split it up into servings that went in the fridge for lunches. It worked. That really does have to be job 1 with weight loss...cooking more and eating out less. Or at least making healthier choices when we eat out. Subway is right past McDonalds. Roly Poly is right before we get to church! Both are healthier than our usual. [/QUOTE]
