  • I’m continuing on with more extreme decluttering. Just in 3 weeks of the new year I have already removed 3 truck loads of stuff from house and sent to donation. I’m starting 2023 off right with lots of decluttering.
    Today I’ll be tackling a majority of my clothes by going through all my dresser drawers and deciding what I want my keep and what I want to donate.
    I’d love to hear any projects you are currently working on in your home. Feel free to share with me.
    Thanks so much for spending some time with me today. Feel free to share any projects you are working on ❤️

    Oh Jodi...another reason I love you so much! I too lost a significant amount of weight. 90lbs! Kept it off for 9 years and then 2020 hit and my eating habits went down the tubes. I never stopped working but being stuck at home changed my lifestyle drastically. I too can't bring myself to weigh myself and have resolved to stay in my pandemic stretch pants and t-shirts and sweatshirts. I too could blame my thyroid disease, but the fact of the matter is, I eat the wrong thing and don't exercise like I should. I too need to declutter all of my clothes that no longer fit but can't seem to get rid of. You are SO INSPIRING! Thank you for keeping it real and being venerable with us!

      Awe Tara I’m sorry you are going through this. It is hard! And I know the pandemic hit is all in different ways.
      Losing 90lbs is incredibly!!! Maintaining that for 9 years is absolutely inspiring 👏👏 way to go friend ❤️

    I got BUSY today and VACCUM ON TOP of all my kitchen cabinets. OMG....so glad I did. Cleaned, washed, wiped out all my bottom cabinets. Got rid of 29 things. 10 went to trash, 19 to Goodwill. Tomorrow, I'll clean my upper K cabinets. I vaccum the Living room today. Washed all the dog's bedding. Swept kitchen, Dining room and my bedroom. I can't wait to get up in the morn' and get started. I've got a big box going to Goodwill. More will be added tomorrow! 🤣😄 I LOVE to deep down CLEAN behind, between things. I have to get in the mood. Today, I was in the mood!

    Just started watching this channel. I’ve been watching your couponing channel for a long time. I’m a fellow couponer. I lost over 50 pounds TWICE in the last 10 years. I am back up to my original weight, probably heavier. I’ve enjoyed watching you declutter. It’s giving me inspiration!

    Oh Jodi, I also went through a weight loss journey and I lost 130 lbs and I remember how happy I was to finally go shopping for clothes. The pandemic definetly inspired me to make bad choices again and I gained 30-40 lbs and I feel so sad that I couldn’t make myself keep up with my new habits but now I’m trying to hold myself accountable to watch what I eat and start to fit on all those amazing clothes I bought. I am working on regaining my home back after years of depression and clutter piled in years but I refuse to let go of any clothes. I had to buy some clothes that fit right now because I needed for work since I had to go back in person but I refuse to buy more that I absolutely need it. I will go back to those clothes and I won’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe again.

    I love the "new" lamps... I would definitely get softer light bulbs... And when you go up to change to your PJs at night, you could turn on one of the lamps to just put a soft light in there for when you go up to bed at night 💜💜💜💜

    • @lisadearing5960
      @lisadearing5960 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree! I do the same thing. I bought the prettiest crystal touch lamps from Amazon. They make our bedroom look so cozy at night. The overhead ceiling fan light is way to bright when I’m trying to wind down to go to sleep.

    Oh Jodi, I'm right there with you. I lost 76 pounds back in 2019, but have since gained 40 back. The only excuse I can give is that I too made bad choices. No one to blame, but me. I'm back on track too. We got this girl. 40 is not as scary as 75.

    I’m in the same boat!🙋🏼‍♀️. I did weigh myself this morning though. I’m 4 pounds away from my first weight loss goal. I’m a list person so I have my goals list on my phone. When I reach it, I’ll mark it off and go on to the next goal! I’ve already started making better food choices, drink less diet sodas, say no to seconds, and try to get as many steps in a day as I can. It’s not easy, that’s for sure! I know I’ll never be in the 130’s again and I’m okay with that. I just want to look and feel better about myself. My recent blood work was all great! I just need to get a handle on my weight.

    Weight… I have the same story, been battling weight issues my entire life, in 2019 I started my weight loss journey, I lost almost 60 lbs, got rid of all my “fat clothes “ bought all new and now I’ve gained 26 lbs back! You are so right, I’ve made so many bad choices! I was walking on treadmill everyday. I’m so disgusted with myself, I could cry. I keep saying… Monday I’ll start but I haven’t yet. You are so right about how you felt so great, I did too not just physically but mentally. It’s so hard as we get older, I’m 69! I swear by summer I’m going to lose that weight!!

    • @lisadearing5960
      @lisadearing5960 ปีที่แล้ว

      The fact that you had lost 60 pounds is awesome! I’d love to be able to do that! At this point, I’d be happy with 30 pounds!
      You did it once, you’ll do it again! 🙂

    I gained many pounds during the pandemic. We couldn't even use the buildings exercise room. So I ate, I won't say what, but it was a lot of junk food! I am down 15 pounds, and proud of my success so far. I have several to go, but I am only looking forward. Great video Jodi!

    I understand you don’t want to get rid of the dresser. The one thing I will say is I personally, store away the not current season clothes in a storage space. The only reason I do it is to eliminate decision fatigue. It’s so nice for me to only have what I need this season out now.

  • @soniahancock5819
    @soniahancock5819 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your channel, and motivation! My favorite banana bread recipe is the best and so simple. 1 yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, 4-5 overripe bananas (they are the sweetest), cup of chocolate chips and cup of chopped pecans (you can measure with your heart). Mix everything together well and divide between two loaf pans. Bake at 350 deg for 40-45 minutes until done. (Toothpick test)

  • @loriemiller1201
    @loriemiller1201 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Jodi as far as your banana bread recipe goes my mother and now myself always used frozen bananas because when they thaw they get watery and i peel the bananas and use all the liquid and thats what makes the bread moist. My moms bread was always moist and delicious. So freeze your bananas once they turn black. I think thats the secret to moist banana bread.

      Yes the mushier they are the better! 😆👍🏻 Even though your bananas were quite black they could even sit a bit more….you want them to be really sweet and mushy. My moms recipe I use is a good one….I’ll share below…

    • @silver_csmith
      @silver_csmith ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1/2 cup butter (room temp/softened)
      2/3 cup sugar
      2 eggs
      1 3/4 cup flour
      1 1/4 tsp baking powder
      1/2 tsp baking soda
      1/4~1/2 tsp salt
      1 cup mashed bananas
      I whip the butter a bit first then blend in the sugar and eggs
      Then add the dry ingredients (I mix them in with a mixer as well)🤷🏻‍♀️
      Then add (hand or machine mix) in the 1 cup mashed bananas (usually is 2 bananas or so…I usually do a double recipe and add 5 bananas. ☺️ And the mushier the bananas the more moist your bread will be.)
      Bake for 50-60 minutes at 325F

    I am literally going through the same thing with my weight. I worked so hard and lost 45ish lbs then gained back 65!! I'm currently down 8lbs and continuing. I also decluttered my closet - which was overflowing! - and finally said goodbye to my 'skinny' clothes because who knows if I'll even want to wear them when I lose all the weight again. BUT I kept things I love so that I do have something to start with when I lose it again. And I like your attitude toward it - I got myself back here but I can change it! I love your videos 😊

    Hi Jodi, hello from Illinois. I gained weight during the pandemic and am still gaining - stress eating is a killer! I’m too afraid to look at the scale but I know I’ve passed my highest weight. I felt so ashamed of getting rid of clothes since I knew they were gifted to me and many I just couldn’t fit into. Sometime ago I finally let go and released the negative thoughts as well as the clothes. I’ve taken count of how much I’ve decluttered since 2021. Has to be upwards of 50 or 60 items. I’ve worked on keeping a smaller clothes count and am gradually working on getting more clothes that fit. I’m going to try to work harder this year to change my eating habits too.
    Love how real you are on your channel! I don’t have a definite decluttering plan for this year. It happens spontaneously for me but I did one a few weeks ago in my room. A little at a time!!

    A recipe may ask for a certain amount of bananas, but more bananas would make it more moist. Remember the size of each banana also. I always under cook my recipe by 5 Minutes and use a toothpick to check for gooeyness. Good luck!

    Being overweight…boy oh boy can I relate! All of my life I was skinny. I stayed around 135-140. I’m 5’3” so no where to hide any extra weight! Along comes menopause and an extra 40 pounds! Then of course the pandemic…enough said! So right now, my current status is, if I could lose 30 pounds, I’d feel so much better! My clothes would fit better! We just got home from a cruise where I walked 5 miles a day. I need to get into some kind of exercise routine and say no to Big Mac’s! Pray for me! 😁

    🙋🏻‍♀️ Jodi, It seems that your batter was very thick. It should be a little bit runnier. I also use the Preppy Kitchen’s banana bread recipe, but I weigh my ingredients especially the flour. I also add the suggested 2 teaspoons of either yogurt or sour cream depending on what I have on hand. If you don’t have a scale you can fluff up the flour first and then spoon the flour into the measuring cup. I also thought that weighing the ingredients was very bougie, but it has made me a better baker. Another plus is that I don’t have to wash the measuring cups since I only use a scale.
    PS: Thanks for your motivation speech about not using excuses or blame for not doing something.

    • @jodidunnmymessylife1847
      @jodidunnmymessylife1847  ปีที่แล้ว

      @amladao ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@jodidunnmymessylife1847: Jodi, You don’t have to buy a scale unless you are going to be a serious baker just add either the yogurt or sour cream next time. There are work arounds if you don’t have or want a scale (ie: sift your flour before measuring it). Also most recipes are measured not weighted. I just don’t want you to buy something that you have to declutter later if you only bake once or twice every few weeks.
      The only reason I broke down and bought a scale was because I wanted to bake different breads and rolls using different types of flour. Now I’m deciding if I need a grain mill to grind my own flour. It’s a slippery slope. I usually bake some type of bread every week.

    Ahh...Jodi your bedroom looks beautiful especially with those lamps. But I don't know how you don't have a TV in your room because that's are main intertainment. We don't go out to do anything, We're in our 70's my hubby does most of the chores, laundry, vacuuming, mopping, shopping, going to the pharmacy etc. I fold clothes & make dinner sometimes. I just can't walk to far or stand in one place very long! Since last June I broke my femur in my upper left leg, & I have replacement joints in all my limbs, hips included. So I just listen to you & a few other on TH-cam. I do my crafting & sewing when I can. Like someone said on here you just don't know what will happen in the future. The banana bread looks yummy. I just made some a few days ago. I had 4 bananas & put them all in it. It seamed just fine. Very similar to your recipe. But you & others help make it better. Thanks for your videos & sharing your life with all of us!!! ♥️😉🫂☺️

    Oh my that’s funny I was making banana bread today when I clicked on your video, my go to banana bread recipe;
    3 1/2 cups flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 cups mashed bananas (5-6 medium bananas)
    1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
    3/4 cups butter
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    3 large eggs
    3/4 cups milk
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients (flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt). Mix the mashed bananas and lemon juice together and set aside. In another bowl cream the butter and sugar together, add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add banana mixture to wet ingredients and beat well. Add the milk and combine well, add to the dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Pour into loaf pans and back for 50 minutes or until bread is done when inserting toothpick. (Makes 2 loafs) can add a cup of chopped walnuts and / or a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

    It's hard to be positive when we clean or declutter, but I appreciate your *happy vibes* while doing just that. I am sure it's that same positive attitude that will see you achieve your goals be they weight loss or whatever! Rock on....

    I keep clothes that I like and don’t currently fit. I too struggle with weight loss and keeping it off. First I hate to keep repurchasing clothes when I lose weight plus it reminds me that I’m capable of getting into them again and it gives me a purpose and another goal.

    I have a recipe for ya! My family loves it...A box of yellow cake mix, 1 box of banana pudding mix, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup oil, 1 cup water and 1 mashed banana 350 degrees 50-55 minutes---ive made a bundt cake and muffins out of the recipe---but honestly it comes out best in a bundt pan--OMG--it is so good--it calls for a drizzle of frosting but you dont need it---they are so moist.. I'll join you on the weight loss journey--Ive gained quite a bit the last several months and fell just miserable....I keep saying Monday I'll start, but I never do---or I do and fail by Tuesday.....

    I am fine tuning and rearranging. Of course in the process some is going, but I'm more focused on getting things easy to clean up and finding the little pockets of stuff that is hanging out but not getting used because it is so disorganized. My son says he is excited about 2 cats and a dog too. Lol. And my daughter has the same pajama pants as Donna Jean. Lol.

    Isn't it fun that in Michigan you can have 3 out of the 4 seasons the same day?! When you find a recipe you like, but it is dry, try using a bit less (maybe 2 tablespoons) flour the next time.

    Such a pretty dried arrangement.
    Thank you for sharing your story. I did really well the first 8 months of covid, then had some major life changes that I pretty much ate my way through. A few months ago, took all the clothes that didn't fit out of my closet and dresser to help stop the negative self talk. I kept 1 bin of skinny clothes with a try on date taped to the top. If it doesn't fit by then, they are going. The rest were donated.
    Super cute side lamps! Next time, add a quarter cup of buttermilk or yogurt to the banana bread mix. 😉

    Another great vid Jodi. I also gained weight during the pandemic and then kept going! Really wanted to make an effort this new year but have been having the kitchen and living area remodelled and so lots of eating takeaways and being stuck indoors incase the builders need to question anything. So no moving and lots of terrible eating! Cant wait for my house back so I can try again! Thank you for sharing!! Xx

    Hi Jodi 👋 your bed drawers are great for extra storage.
    2)70#. Woohoo.oh. 3yrs+ pandemic. I get that.yes. every moment is a chance for another choice. External vs internal acceptance & personal growth. Yep.
    3) Thom was waiting his turn.
    4) tjmaxx lamps. ..looks great 😃.
    5) tax decluttering is on tap here. 😆
    6) went to work on resealing around my tub with that seal stuff( ad seals giant hole in boat) that was delayed due to pandemic keeping more people home ( takes3-4 days to dry in my damp house). But the containers weren't fully usable because of the delay so only partially done. Have to plan again to finish. But on way out of tub- opposite end of usual exit- so no grab_ I fell & ended up looking at underside of toilet. I know my next project now.
    7) good news. This weekend able to get arm over head 1st time since surgery. Woohoo! Small victories.
    8) banana bread. When using extra 🍌🍌 that are not brown inside add 1/4-1/2cup of unsweetened applesauce to keep that moistness.

    Thank you for sharing with us. I can totally relate to a lot of the things you talked about. I am currently trying to lose weight that I have gained back and it sucks. Half my clothes dont fit and I cant borrow any of my sisters, friends, or even my moms clothes. Though I have made some progress, and I find that slowly adding healthy habits to my daily routine is really effective for lasting results, as well as improve my mental & physical health by so much.

    Always look forward to your vids. The recipe looks pretty standard to me. What I do differently is turn the temp down for baking. I preheat at 350, bake at 275 & about 7 mins to finish I turn oven up to 350 for a golden brown finish. It takes longer but it comes out moist every time.
