I need an intervention or soon I will be featured on the horders program I always feel so much better about myself and the messy pile of stuff in the corner of the room after I watch that show. Too bad the winners espadrilles didn't work out. They were very cute and it's hard to find one that isn't high heeled. I also am hard on myself until I look around at others and think I don't look so bad in comparison.

It it quite inspiring. I've been staying on plan as well and have dropped about 7 pounds and at least an inch around my waist-some jackets are too loose now. Lots of walking Beau and only one weekly indulgence meal-usually with friends. <br />Great job at all of your yard work-I was run down and got nothing done last weekend, but there is always next weekend, right?

I'm on day 13 and am feeling not very in the moment while I'm doing it. I noticed this the last time that I did a streak, that after about a week of revelations, my concentration petered. I'm sticking it out this time. Maybe it's like the first ten lengths of swimming (or the first whatever miles for those who run, pick your analogy) - first it's fun, then it's brutal, and then you find your groove.
