Goal #3- Organize

So goal #2 was to drink more water! And as you can see from my picture from this morning's commute to work, that I was right on that! And my start to the diet make over in goal #1 hit a speed bump yesterday when I ran into Wegman's for salmon. I had an odd craving when while driving home for some fresh salmon, so as I was walking over to the fish section I passed the bakery, and there sitting on a table looking all pretty and delicious were individual pieces of chocolate cake with buttercream icing decorated for Halloween! Two reasons that I could not pass them up were that A. Wegman's has the best cake ever! and B. They were Halloween! I mean come on, they wanted me to buy them! And it was a nice taste to go with my glass of wine! Hehehe, so mini fail at night yesterday, but again I am taking BABY STEPS!

So onto Goal #3:

Welp, my house is still halfway not even halfway unpacked. I know I want to make sure that everything is organized, so I have been working on figuring out ways. I came across a site on pinterest which you can see HERE! It shows ways and tips that you can organize your entire house! This gave me lots of ideas! Some of my favorites were:

1. Use a Rail in Your Sink Cabinet for Cleaning Products

So that was to name a few! I mean there are so many ways to organize! I need to get wicker baskets or fabric crates for the hall closet. That way I can group all my small stuff together. There is just so much that needs to be done and gone through!

By going through and getting rid of stuff and organizing the rest, will just make things so much easier and less stressful! I have to put away some time that I can just start sitting and going through stuff. Or try to do one bag or box a day. What has happened is that I have gotten the living room, kitchen, and dining room cleaned. So basically all our boxes are downstairs in the family room or in the "baby room/guest room". Out of sight means out of mind!

I need to get to it, that will eliminate so much stress all in itself! And it will be one more way that I can get back on track to getting a more positive lifestyle!
