Give yourself permission to succeed.

Let me guess: you've tried every diet under the sun and you're still fat, eh?

You're talking to the wrong person.

The one thing you haven't done yet is given yourself permission to succeed. Truth is, no one will succeed if you are looking for ways to fail. No one will succeed if success isn't what you're after.

I owe you an update (if anyone is actually reading this).

Slow-carb diet is going very smoothly. I had to add black beans to my egg white concoction for breakfast because I was getting to hungry. I think I need to now start adding salsa to the breakfast for flavor, but other than that it holds me over and it's 'not bad'. I hate that term. And yes, I know hate is a strong word. It's my blog. Get over it.

Even my cold showers are something I look forward to. I don't stay in long - just long enough till I'm actually cold, not just shocked. At first, it's a shock, then I get used to it for a split second, then my body starts to shiver. When I get out I feel more awake than I do after the world's best cup of coffee. So I like it.

Stay tuned this Saturday for an update on my total inches & weight. Like I said, come hell or high water, there will be a change for the positive (which means a negative difference, otherwise I will have gained).

On tonight's menu: chicken stir fry with broccoli, carrots, peppers, onions.
On deck: stuffed green peppers with quinoa and bison -YUMMMMMM.

Thanks for reading. :)
