Declutter Diet

Good Morning! I am up early because of my darling baby. I felt the beginnings of a migraine coming on when I first woke up, so I decided to weigh-in before getting my Excedrin fix. Thankfully the scale moved back in the right direction, to 126.9, so hopefully I do not have a thyroid problem but rather a sodium problem. Maybe by Saturday I will see an actual loss!

I think I subscribe to too many diet tips! This is bad for my inbox & creates clutter there, but good for you because I post the best tips here for you. I read about the connection to decluttering & weight loss a while back, and I have been on my own little kick lately. Last night I decluttered half-a-shelf in the pantry while my daughter ate a snack. This may not seem like much, but carting two grocery bags of expired baby food & receiving a more streamlined shelf in exchange sure lifted my spirits!

Here's a tidbit from one that I got yesterday (as always, when I post these tips, scroll over to view the original source, though it will navigate you away from this page):

Do you know the best kept secret to improve your weight loss success?
Throw something away! Yes – that’s right. Reducing the clutter from your life helps you to reduce the weight from your body. It may seem like an unrelated and insignificant step but releasing unnecessary stuff emotionally frees you to release unnecessary weight.
