I'm just still sort of stuck on the making exercise a routine thing. I feel like I've made really good progress there, and I'm loath to mess it up by taking on anything else right this minute. The control I have is so new I worry that it's fragile.

I have been reading my food lables very carefully, although I don't write them down as Lynn suggested. I would, but then I'd be spending hours each day I'm afraid, and I don't eat that much processed food!

So, the taking control report card on Jo?

making routines: A

tracking what I eat: B-

financial control: B (still have one thing on the SLUG list from that one-and it's a biggie)

And Kerri, I just did my bathroom cupboards, and there is NO WAY I am q-tipping my windows.

I will be doing a little bit every day this week to prepare for our trip, so I'm not up until 2am the night before we leave. That's what I'm going to take control of this week. Well, that and continuing to make exercise "just-what-I-do" rather than something special.
