On Being Unorganized

Okay, I didn't buy a scale yet. I was even at the drug store and I completely forgot! I also forgot bubble bath, which I have been out of for weeks.

My partner and I have been very unorganized the last few weeks. This weekend we have my partners grandmother's funeral to attend, his Bachan (means Granny in Japanese.) His father requested he speak at the funeral on behalf of all her grandchildren. I offered to make onigiri, with shiso wrappings, from my garden. So we both feel a bit stressed, we need to make time to get these things prepared.

On a slightly better note? I was very worried about what to I was going to wear to the service. But I fit into an old black dress that I have. I thought it would be too small, but it's ok. So at least I know I am the same size as I was a few years ago. And I know I will be showing the respect the event deserves by dressing formally and in black.

Also something to think about. The service is followed by a special reception, with all of Bachan's favorite foods. Including sushi, fried chicken, pretzel jello and all kinds of things. Which means I need to eat healthy the rest of the weekend, and focus on having small portions. I don't plan on eating things I don't like, but I do want to have the chance to eat the foods that remind me of my partners family.

Being unorganized does make it hard to lose weight. I end up without certain groceries I want, and it leads to eating out more. So far I have done really well, and we only got Subway sandwiches.

But in psychological ways it doesn't help. Being so unorganized makes it easy to put things off, to not take care of myself, and generally lead to a down mood.

So, something to work on this weekend, after the service that is.
