As per usual I’ve been doing about everything other than focusing on improving my fitness, although a couple of weeks ago I did strength training every day for the first time in a long time. My back has been sore since.
One thing I have been doing well at this “end of summer”* period is purging. I helped clean out an old office at work where we got rid of 6 small dumpsters worth of old IT equipment, I tackled the toy room in our house that has been the dumping ground during house cleanups over the last couple of years and I even cleaned up my son’s room. I had to use a leaf rake to clean up under his bed. But both rooms are now spotless and neat and organized and it felt great to get rid of so much garbage.
* I can’t get myself to say Fall yet but with the kids back in school and the Vikings already playing it’s sure feeling like Fall here in Minnesota.
I also tackled my own closet. I donated 104 shirts that had been hanging in my closet but not getting worn. I wish I could say they were my fat clothes but unfortunately that’s what I wear - no, this was a purging of the skinny clothes. And to be honest, not even the skinny clothes because I had previously purged those out. No, this was a purging of the large clothes that are still too small. I donated a lot of 2X shirts. I just decided that if I can find a way to fit into them again that I would want to reward myself with buying new clothes.
If I can figure out how to purge my fat as well as I have been purging other things it would be a very good year indeed.
