When you run two miles in the morning and do an hour of intensive personal training in the afternoon , of course you are not going to be able to move!!!

I (see I am using an I statement) have started reading this article. Finding it very interesting...and the first thing that comes to mind is the candy drawer at work. when stressed, bored or just because someone else is eating candy..so do I....so I need to make some changes in my thoughts and statements.
I will work on this and other thoughts today.
off to work!

As I was dressing this morning I thought about unrealistic expectation..... Like thinking I can lose twenty pounds in a week or running three miles and then eating half of a bakery!!!
Time to get real John

I just found it last night and I'm excited to get started on it. I think I'll blog on it today also, as well as the 90 day push!

Way to go Laura!!!
I can really plug into the one on toxic guilt and negative self talk. It's my biggest draw back.
I am going to work on one per day

I blogged about this 10-step plan quite a bit. I am happy to be going through it with others.
How do we identify poor problem-solving skills and how do we develop better and then great problem-solving skills?
