I seem to be able to get through breakfast, but because I sit in my little cubicle ALL. DAY. LONG, I constantly nosh. I get up every hour or so to walk, but end up bringing back coffee and then snacking on something. Anything.
95% of the time, I don't have a car available, so I'm stuck at our facility. Can't leave and I just spent $600 having sun marks removed from my face so I'm not thrilled to walk outside. I keep 100 SPF if need be and I'm pretty sure I could land on the surface of the sun and not get burned, but it's thick & icky... ...okay, I'm digressing here... Back to sticking with low-carbing. Please share how you kick-started it as I'm feeling like a failure. Jesus saves. Buddha recycles. |
