It is quite the challenge to get everything done that we want to in a day. Just last month I finished up a 90-day Game of life where I was challenged to get twice as much done as I had done before. It was very enlightening about ME. I'm not all that successfull at getting it ALL done. However, I do get a darn good amount of it done, NOW.
Since restarting Induction on Christmas, I've been challenged with many interruptions in my schedule and planning. This has caused me to think out...

Well, by the time we got back to the trucks I was just too darn tired to mess with it. I looked at the burrito and even started to unwrap it. It was turning into a hassle. So, I just said the heck with it and just...

So, yesterday I read thru the 1972 Atkins book. Man, was that a chore. The original version is written more like a novel/Shelf-help book. Lots of discussion of why I should start the Diet. I already got that! I like the organization of my 2000 (I think) version. To find the framework for the 72 plan I had to span several chapters and even learn different lingo.
