I even woke up at 530ish and went to the gym before work, you know trying to get a healthy routine going. My goal is to work out Monday nights with my friend Beverly, Tuesday mornings & Thursday mornings at the gym by 6am, Friday nights do a work out at home, Saturdays with Beverly or at home.
WOOOOOOOT.
. . .
Anyways.
Let’s talk about my garage shall we?
It. Is. HORRIBLE.
This past weekend my grandmother came by and we got some of her things out of the garage {PRAISE!} and that helped a little. You see my garage has become the storage unit for ridiculous amounts of furniture, tools, random sports equipment, and gosh knows what else. It also hasn’t been organized in a solid hmm….10 years! YES 10 YEARS! So to say i’m starting at square one is truly not an exaggeration. I was so sick of having all of this extra in my garage that my cousin Jennifer came over and helped me move a rather large chunk of it to the curb for garbage.
The garbage men are going to hate me today…
The queen box spring/mattresses are at least 20 years old and springs are popping out, the other box spring is broken, the bed frame is broken, the red couch? HIDEOUS and not worth a penny (and i didn’t know anyone who needed it), The drawers are from the dresser my brother smashed {and yes i realize i could have made something out of them but i was on a purging rampage}, There is also a broken desk you can almost see (behind the couch), a broken mirror, and a few other things that some people have already driven by and picked up!
WOOO!
After we got all of those things out of the garage i did a little sweeping (there was a disgusting plastic paint tarp that had completely disintegrated) and we took down my punching bag until i get everything set up the way i want it. Oh, you didn’t know i had a punching bag? Come and meet me on a back alley and i’ll show you…ha i kid, but not really. {i did get new gloves and hand wraps for Christmas though! yay!} So technically the garage still looks like crap, BUT it’s a ridiculous improvement than how it looked Friday night. I can’t wait until i can actually park my car in there, and yes it will be the first time a vehicle has been parked in the garage in at least 8 years.
See, i told you….HOT MESS.

What organization/cleaning/purging projects are you currently working on.
Girl, you are always working on something! I love it! Your continuous drive for improvement and creation is inspiring.
I like that blue couch thing with the wooden legs in the first picture…can I ask why you are throwing it away? Is something wrong with it?
I wondered if you did something like that when I saw your Christmas post!
It'll feel so goodto have it cleaned out….And park your car in there. 🙂
I have zero motivation and zero vision when it comes to organizing anything right now. Hello, January! I think I'll be in hibernation mode for the next few months.
Sooo I've commented this at least three times, but I LOVE purging all my crap and throwing stuff out. Cleaning is amazing (when I'm in the mood).
your breakfast looks amazing. yummm!
You might call me crazy but sometimes I just dye to have an orginization task to work through.
And a punching bag?! I want one. I even got so angry a couple weeks ago I told my husband I needed something good to throw because I have nothing good to punch. HAHA!
Hooray for cleaning/organizing your garage! I'm sure that must feel great! 🙂
your breakfast looks the bomb.com!!!! I'm so happy that you made it to the gym in the early morn… my opinion the BEST time to get errr done!! YAYY for healthy lifestyle! Kudos to you for partnering up with a frannnd too!!
Good luck with the garage… one of the least faves I have to clean all my life!
I'm trying to get healthy as well!
Good luck with your own routine. (: And your garage!
I'm adding that breakfast idea to my list!
