I think you may be on to something with the "perfectionist" theme. It's so easy to feel like a failure if I don't get something totally right. I've far more forgiving of other people sometimes, than I am of myself. Also, it might explain one of hte reasons why going hard-core strict on SBD is a better plan for me than 'modifying' it, which has never been successful.
Debbie- I'm psyched about the BL thing. I'm already down 7 pounds since the Christmas stuffing, and figure my competitive first-week edge is shot, but who cares? However, I haven't started an exercise program yet, mostly because I'm so flamin' TIRED both at the start and end of the day. I figure I'm going to start bench pressing all those lame excuses for starters, and that will be the beginning of my exercise program. (
Sandy- What's this, great minds thinking alike?
) But seriously, I know when I start excercising, everything will be better.
Day 3 of Hardcore SBD, challenges so far:
Box of Chocolates received as gift. Solution, Gave them away faster than a HOT potato.
Grilled garlic flatbread that arrived on my salad. Solution, trip to the ladies room garbage can.
Worked thru lunch & boss bought pizza. Solution, said thank you very much... and ate my salad anyway.
Food today:
Pork chop for breakfast
Salad for lunch
Western Omelette for dinner... hmmm, something funny here.
Best wishes for success and the joy that comes with it, Chickees!
