Trying To Find My Balance

Well, a lot of things have gone "to hell in a handbasket" since I started this Etsy shop.  I won't go into all of the things I have been ignoring, but I will tell you about my problem with eating....chocolate.... specifically...

I am addicted to THIS...!


My typical day goes like this....up at 5am or 5:30ish...turn on the coffee and head to my laptop.  After a cup of coffee or two, I am hooked to said laptop...check Etsy, check Twitter, check Facebook, check Blog...back to the Vintage Market Team Ning page
...back to my Etsy shop, and there it is.  I start the day off reading blogs, and then start to ease into listing more items in my shop.

Around mid morning I get a little hungry, but don't really want to take the time to actually EAT...so I grab a few of these...

 The (horrible things) get me through a few more hours, until I start to get a little tired (imagine that..lol..) and head for the above WHITE CHOCOLATE...then I am a goner.

I will nibble on that Lindt here and there all afternoon, that and a fresh cup of coffee gets me through the afternoon...until it's time (darn....I have to drag myself away from the computer) to make dinner...:(

Last night dinner was a simple chicken and a huge healthy non fattening (except for the avocado) salad.  I could actually feel my body start to recouperate from the chocolate binge.  It felt good, and I knew then that I had to start getting back to normalcy...in my eating habits and in finding that "balance" that makes for a good and healty mental state.

I get so involved, and so focused.... that I forget about BALANCE...this is nothing new.  I pretty much have been this way all my life.  I don't know what it's like to read a book and use a bookmark.  Who needs one when all you really do is place the book pages down for a few minutes while you (get a cup of coffee or something) and then go right back to it??

Time for me to get back to normal...if I can.  Take a break from this computer, eat right, don't pout when I have to pay some attention to other parts of my life...don't make cooking dinner a chore..answer the phone when it rings...you know....that "normal" life stuff...;)
I am off to a good start...yesterday when I ran to the grocery store I did NOT buy Pringles, I did NOT buy Lindt Chocolate, and I am actually getting through the day pretty well here so far.....

Well.......
it is only 8:24am...

Have a great day!
Love.
