Attitude:
Well, I now know why flylady says to get dressed to the shoes. Due to a cleaning accident, my shoes got wet and I was forced to take them off so they could dry. Without my shoes on, I didn't feel like doing anything. I didn't work out and it was even really hard to stick to the eating plan. I've discovered that even though I am ultimately a bare footist, having my shoes on gives me a sense of all business. So tomorrow it's back to wearing my shoes all day. I sorta broke down and had an english muffin, but I cut it into quarters and only had 1/4 of an english muffin, which let me tell you doesn't make a very large sandwich when the quarter is cut in half again. LOL It's amazing when you actually look at the carb counts on some of this food...like the 2 macaroni noodles I had to try out the healthier mac n cheese recipe I made for the kids...4 carbs for 2 noodles! Live and learn, I guess! I also realized the importance of planning out and preparing my meals in advance. I'm not ready to stop it yet...it's just still to easy for me to grab something easy. So off to prepare tomorrow's meals and snacks!
