Starting to get organized

Today I'm using my "determination". I'm doing my weekly menu plan, grocery shopping list and schedule for exercise. I had hoped to exercise this AM with another Rough Fit Buddy but that didn't pan out. Hopefully I can get with a Buddy to exercise later on today or tomorrow. If not it's OK because I'll make plans with my best friend to huff it somewhere around here.

I had a funny idea the other day (ok ok...it was funny but kinda warped too). And for some reason it stuck with me.

"WWLD"

As you all probably know this is a spin off of a popular saying but in my case, I turned it into "What Would Lindsey Do". I was at the grocery store and was looking at something and considered buying it until my imagination popped up a miniature Lindsey on my shoulder (no offense...you looked great! Cute, like a Polly Pocket.) At first I imagined that old Looney Tunes cartoon where there's a mini-angel on one shoulder & a mini-devil on the other one telling the character "yes you should" and "no you shouldn't" but then realized being delusional in the grocery store was not such a good idea.

So anway, in my case it was really only one, my Pocket Lindsey. And I thought to myself WWLD and BAM, that thing I considered buying went back on the shelf.

So now it's off to do some planning.

DYNAMIC - making a written plan of important things for the week (meals, exercise schedule, other things to attend to, appointments, etc) so I don't get off track when my "tornado" life funnels up - I'll have a plan for reference to avoid "winging" it which I think leads to pitfalls. I know life throws fast balls & pitch curves but I can handle it better if I'm prepared.

DETERMINATION - doing this on a Saturday? Can I be more determined that that?

DOER - actually follow through, put my plan down on paper & post it on the fridge (for accountability - if anyone wants I can post it here too), go to the grocery store, get the weekly menu up for my reference and my kids (for some reason they like to see that paper on the fridge & know what's coming). Also I'll include as part of my plan the POG's from RoughFit (as well as my own) to make sure that they get accomplished.

By doing this I hope I can see where failure commonly occurs & hopefully take corrective action. Also, what can I eliminate as unnecessary and what I should add, or emphasize, for my benefit.
