Things went a bit pear-shaped last week. Tons of stress, too little sleep, too many hours worked, too little planning. It showed on the scale too. I need to repeat to myself daily the following::
1) NOT planning doesn’t help me. Yes it’s great to sleep an additional 15 minutes in the morning, but if, at [...]
