Getting Started!

A few things...
  1. I have been off work for almost 6 months trying to get my depression and anxiety under control.  I have done pretty well and I am scheduled to return to work on June 11, 2012.  This is the week after my son goes on Summer Break.  It's hard to believe that it is a month and a half away! Time Flies!! During the summer I will have to juggle working part time, seeing clients at my practicum site, taking two classes, entertaining bored children on Summer Break, and avoid starting to stress eat again!
  2. I recently decided to take control of my eating and started reading The Beck Diet Solution.  Using the steps from the book I started a healthy eating plan along with my sister.  I have lost 10 pounds in the last month and a half.  My weight loss has kinda stalled and I know that I need to start exercising.  I HATE EXERCISE!!! I dislike it on so many levels. 
So with all of that said I had a realization this morning.  I want to get my house in order before I go back to work and if I can do the cleaning/organizing vigorously, I can make a workout out of it!! Two birds, one stone!! So this will be my first Hot Mess to Happiness Challenge.  Today I am going to make a plan of attack and tomorrow I am going to get started.  Tomorrow I will post my plan.  If anyone is interested, jump in and join me.  I am forcing my sister to do it with me. She doesn't know this yet.  LOL! She hates working out too (but not as much as I do) so I'm sure she will be game!
