Today

Today I plan to spend my day caring for my home. Basic caring, not anything that delves into nooks and crannies. I need to cook a couple of things to eat during the week and take to work for lunches. Last week I ended up eating in the work cafe a couple of times, and this is against the guidelines of my frugality plan.

I will cook and clean most of the day, at 4PM, I will break for a much needed yoga class, then I will return home to wrap things up. I'll pack some lunches, put finishing touches on my cleaning, and make my ToDo list for the week.

The remainder of the evening will be spent in a "self caring" routine, perhaps touch up my roots, a nice face mask and olive oil treatment, a long bubble bath with some relaxing music in my tidy and sparkling bathroom.

Menu for this week:

Monday:  Pork with eggplant server with brown basmati cilantro rice

Tuesday: Leftovers - this is class night

Wednesday:Whole wheat angel hair with garlic shrimp & sauteed spinach

Thursday: Leftovers - this is class night

Friday: Whole Wheat Nan Pizzas with cucumber yogurt salade

Saturday: Chicken enchilada with tomatillo sauce

Sunday: Pork Roast with home made fries and green salade


So I think I'll report back at the end of today on my exact progress. I feel a certain lack of motivation, and the idea of posting a failure may be just what it takes to keep me focused and on track. Lack of motivation is a difficult space to reside in.

I have to remind myself to just get started and focus completely on the task at hand, on what my hands are doing, then the mission will take on a life of its own.
Wish me luck.
