Exploring resistence

Meh:
Think I must have been inspired by the story of house editing because I got a rare breeze of let-it-go inspiration and I did a decent amount of summer cleaning.

I'm always happy when I let things go.....after.

 In the open space.  I have to remember how that feels.  Letting go is easier when I focus on that part.  I'm going through the final small baskets of accumulated pens and nail files and it's....hard again.  There's a part of me who wants to organize it all.....not pitch it. 

Things get better when the pitcher is winning.

Your office sounds fabulous Lighter! Mine is still in "transition", but having found the floor again - yes it DOES feel bigger! With it being so hot & humid, going outside to work again after noon, is just not in the cards for me. Not right now.

I'm spending more time in the kitchen, supporting my wish to discover if eating keto will fit well with my body/metabolism by cooking ahead the kinds of things I can grab & eat without a lot of prep.

OH... I was looking for some new wall sconces to replace the '80s looking things that simply don't go in my rustic/industrial cabin and finally found what I wanted at a website called Houzz. After I decided to get them ordered, so I could stop thinking about it (LOL) I looked at their categories of things and took a casual stroll through the website.... oh MY... I almost got lost there for hours! First, it's a website with social aspects to it for creative types. The design and function of it is easy, excellent and a joy to use - unlike Pinterest - their software and how it works frustrates me no end so I've seldom used it. The other thing I noticed, was that the furniture and styles they carry were very close to the fuzzy, vague images I had in my minds-eye about what I'm looking for. If you get some down time, check it out. Seems like it was made for people who like to design and make nests. Prices are a wide range, too... which is also different than a lot of places. Sometimes I don't want to pay a whole lot for a piece of furniture that simply has to function; doesn't have to add to the ambience. And sometimes I'm willing to go a lot higher for the important visual, comfort and functional pieces.

Having food handy is a must, ime.  We're eating pots of soup lately....and fresh Grouper 4 ways.....red curry and coconut milk, green curry, sauteed simply and with chili garlic sauce. 

We're not eating carbs every day, but often enough to head off rebellion.

I'm drinking icy blended fruit beverages with basil and club soda on top......too many really, but so good in this heat.  I'm craving salad and sushi.

I think I found out that I need to put the effort in - shopping, then a day or so in the kitchen - preparing those hand to mouth finger foods that are acceptable. Then, ONLY buying an "emergency" stash of my favorite junk carbs: and hiding it.

I dunno where I figured out I was THAT visually oriented, maybe tai chi, but it's really helpful for something like this. I'm not being all that scientific about carbs/fats yet. Just trying to a) cut back the excess carbs for now and replace them with better options. My body's not overly happy about the change.   :?   But I do see where it takes some weeks to adapt.

The heat here has been oppressive - almost beach oppressive. Consequently I'm inside hiding from it when I want to be outside working, and that's not helping. But relief is supposed to be only a few days away. I'm running out of things to do inside, that I'm ready to tackle.
