Organisational skills

I want to start making lists of --

+ Things to take to Sydney;

+ Recipes to be put in a book for next year;

+ Cleaning schedule possibilities for next year;

+ Workout schedule possibilities for next year;

and all the little things I want to do and be like drinking more water, especially when I wake up and before meals [as I read that helps you lose weight] and having a certain day of the week dedicated to organising my meals for the week. I want to ask Dannielle from Sometimes Sweet about a cleaning roster and if I can get some help writing such lists. I want to be as organised as I can. I'm organised when it comes to work, and am happy to clean there, but when it comes to my home life that's another story. I want to reinvent myself and get into great routines and not make excuses anymore. That annoys me about myself.

I just bought a new DVD as inspired by Dannielle's "Workout motivation" post -- Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.

I love using these sorts of DVDs, especially at home alone. Once I move over to the shed I'll start getting back into these and my Leg Magic machine along with the new Gaiam and try to get into good habits before Sydney, or wherever I end up next year. I want to eat healthier and smarter, feel good about my body, good enough to be with my future husband intimately, and consider myself a new person. I hate that I'm lazy, I truly do, and next year will be the year I kick that bad habit for good. That is my plan.

I like the idea of doing early morning workouts as Dannielle suggested. I've always wanted to be an early morning person, and liked going to the gym for 9am-ish when I was living at Mt Nelson. It's a great way to start the day, to feel energised for the day, and not have to moan in the afternoon/evening when it's time to go to the gym or workout. I will conquer my body issues!

So, I will start working on these lists and possibly write them up as notable posts on the side of my blog [Dannielle has that on the side of hers] so I can easily go back to them. Having them so close I will get used to them and the idea of what it will be like once they are in practice. Dannielle's blog is my favourite daily stop and I love her organisational skills. I want to use them to make schedules for myself and be the person I want to be.
