Tika, you're my hero! I usually wait until March to do the spring cleaning, but I think this year I should start early because it's getting out of hand.
Mauvais, go on with your bad self and your bellydancing show! Woo hoo!
Ellis, I'm SO jealous - one thing I don't think I get is really any time absolutely alone. I go to work, where I am working even if I am there by myself, so it's not restful. DH is a teacher so he gets home very early in the day. To get some complete solitude, I have to take a sick day! Since I'm for the most part introverted, all this interacting with other humans gets tiring after a while.
Well, I've been off 3FC and off the wagon for a few days. Gained three pounds. Urgh. But, I'm feeling ready to climb back on, and I have identified two new triggers for poor behavior. One: spur of the moment eating! If I have breakfast at home, and have lunch made up for me to take to work, then I will be fine all day. If I have to have breakfast at work, or scrounge lunch, I will inevitably choose poorly, and that sets me off for the rest of the day's uncontrolled frenzy. So, the goal for the month is to make breakfasts and lunches ahead at home to head that off. I'm not good at that kind of planning, but it's my goal to improve. Blurgh. The other trigger is milk chocolate. I can have a reasonable piece of dark, darkest chocolate, let it melt, and be all done. I can have one piece of milk chocolate, and become a giant gaping mouth shoveling fistfuls of milk chocolate in until I'm ill. It's like I need a certain level of cocoa solids before I can stop, and milk chocolate just doesn't cut it. So, action item: buy more Green & Black's Maya Gold Chocolate. The best there is, and fair trade/organic to boot. Live and learn!
Ciao, ladies! Hope you're well!
Take care,
Solarmama
