Spinning Tips Exercise - Comfort Zone

Vacation, the time to let go, the time to make excuses and eat one more cracker, one more piece of pie, etc. My sister was in from Chicago for three weeks with my mom passing just recently, it was liscense to RELAX. Relax in all house rules, the laundry piled up, the meals were NOT nutritous, medicine not taken regularly and the dust balls gathered in the darken corners of the house. I was in my comfort zone, comfortably comfortable in my comfort zone. Sunday, Lisa, my sister, flew home. Time to revisit all the things that were waiting for me, it is not like my regular job that if I am out, all is taken care of, no, it is like my house, one day off and it looks like a tornado flew threw it. You can only imagine what 3 weeks of RELAXING will do to a house and a houses schedule. Sunday night I sit down and look at my music, searched the internet, browsed through Itunes, and various other sites, still didn't feel the urgency so I put the computer aside.
I woke up Monday morning and was ready to put back on my commander-n-chief pants and make a difference. I got my coffee and Cinnamon and Spice oatmeal opened my itunes and looked at the playlist that my husband complied for me. No don't feel that song, delete! but wait the WHOLE playlist is gone. I DELETED the whole playlist.
Deep Breathe! Start over, no more comfort zone, time to face the mess.
