Body in motion

Fair warning: I may spam you with posts today. The second week of my summervacation has begun and in order to fight the depression that's looming from feeling rather useless, I've decided to not linger on thoughts but to get them out as they pop up;)

This morning I slept in for the first time during this vacation. I did get up around 8.45 to watch the news, but I was still snoozing on the couch, so after catching up with the world, I crawled back into my cozy, warm bed and relaxed for another hour and a half, go me!

When I got up for real I figured to not only acknowledge that I am currently not happy with my body but to also take action. I'm tired of not being able to bend properly and I'm tired of being sad when I have to deal with clothes. So I took a deep breath and got out my old workout video from Gilad Janklowicz and did the whole 30 minutes of floorwork. I wasn't able to do all the exercises fully and had to do normal time when Gilad did double time, but I did finish the whole workout, so yay! I plan to keep it up every day and encourage you to ask me about it, as a reminder:)

Today I want to make a start on the cleaning out of the spare-room, but before I can do that I need to go back to the store to change the storage boxes I bought; the size is right, but the lids have the wrong colour, which has been bugging me all weekend. Ugh, the stupid little things I let get to me. *frowny face*

Project Cleaning House, part 1

Last week I promised pictures of the uncluttering process (the number 1 chore on my "I should really do this when I have time"-list;) Instead of forcing myself to do all of the cleaning in one day, I decided to adjust to my personal limited attention span and just do little bits every day. That took the pressure off and I can now take time to say goodbye to stuff;) The photos below show the progress from the past few days:)



This is the back of my living room, the corner across from the computer-area. It's kind of a dumping-area for stuff I don't need to sort out immediately or things I find around the house, like lost buttons or pens.


I already mentioned I bought a new bookcase; isn't it darling? (I put it together myself!!) I had to move my moodboard from the wall, but it just fits so perfectly in that corner.


Tadaah! Yes, this is after, shut up; I know it still looks kind of cluttered on the photo, but I threw so much stuff out. I just happen to like putting up random images everywhere :-p Notice how there is still room left on the shelfs for more books, yay! I also cleaned out the locker, so now my (board)games are all neatly put away.


The green lamp is moved to the other side of the room; the magazine-rack that was there found a new place in my spare room. The boxes scattered all over the floor are filled with either stuff for the thriftshop or trash:) All the papers and left over stuff on the table has been sorted out and put away now (really).


This was the spare room this morning. I already started on cleaning it out (and moved the magazine-rack in the corner). I managed to exchange the storage boxes on the ground for a set with blue lids (because the lightgreen looked more like yellow and that just didn't work;)

Tonight or tomorrow I'll continue; time to find out what I collected under that bed! Dundundunnnnn...
