I'm allergic to the word Diet....if I say it I swell up...lol

I think the polish is an excellent reward. Plus you can use it as a tool to avoid pulling. When you have an urge put on a coat. You know we hate to mess up the polish while it dries.

I made it through one day. I even had a stresser early this morning when at 3:00am my husband turns on the light, wakes me up and is wondering where a cough drop is and what did I do with them. Oh my goodness. What a self-centered male. I was so angry. Thankfully I had my bandaides on and kept them on as I had to get up and go to the computer to try and get myself sleepy enough to go back to bed. Reading blogs and surfing the internet helps when this happens.I finally fell asleep at 5:00am. It has been a long day and I am glad it is almost bedtime. I hope to finish the 3 day challenge because I so want to accomplish the 7 day one.

Pull-free day 2 Yea!

I'm almost to my 3 day goal.

You can make it!

Yea! I made the 3 days of being pull-free. Now I am going to try the 7 day challenge. It really helps to have all of you as accountability partners. Thanks for thinking of me.

We're all in this together.

Did you get a reward for reaching 3 days? How about setting one up for hitting one WEEK.

You're doing wonderful ((HUGS))

Yes, I did get a reward. I am still thinking about a 7 day reward. I have been trying to get the outside lamp post re-painted and then put a border with flowers. I am thinking that finishing this project and seeing the flowers would be nice. Thanks for checking in with me Crzychick. I really appreciate it. HUGs to you too.

Pull-free 4days.

that sounds like a pretty project! i love being creative, there is so much potential there 8) good luck with your 7 days! that flowered lamppost will be a trophy of success to you every time you see it 8D

Thanks for the encouragement Phrannie. I finished sanding the lamppost today but it was too windy to spray paint it. I need to put a primer and then the white coat on top. I worked on pulling some weeds below the post but will probably need to wait for it to rain to do a better job. I have about a 3 step goal to finish it. I have several other projects to finish around the house and am trying to get them accomplished.


5 pull-free days.

Not only are you making it pretty but you're keeping your hands busy at the same time. Plus the work tires you out and you'll sleep better.
WIN/WIN/WIN

Keep up the good work!

I worked on the lamp post but found I need to do more sanding with an electric sander. We don't have one, but I can borrow one or my husband said we could buy an attachment for his drill. This project is on hold until Friday when he gets paid. However today I am going to find some big beautiful white rocks for the border and continue working on weeding and getting ready for my sweet flowers. My goal is to complete it by this coming weekend. It has kept my mind occupied and finishing some of these projects around the house really gives me a sense of accomplishment also. I bought new yarn for another baby blanket for my friend. I love crocheting these short projects. I need to figure out how to sell them. I know about Etsy. There is also a local children's consignment shop that I might ask if I can contribute.

7 days pull-free

Do you have many projects done? Look into setting up a booth at the county fairs. If you don't have many work, work on getting an inventory and see about doing it next year.

Take pictures of your work and post flyers at local stores if they will allow you.

WTG on a FULL WEEK of being PF.

Well, I pulled half way through day 8. It wasn't much and I was able to stop but I now need to start over with day 1. I am trying to be completely honest with my pulling. I have noticed lots of growth in just 7 days so this is encouraging to me. I am not giving up. I hate starting over, but we have all been there.

Sorry to hear that you pulled. Any idea what set it off?

Great attitude. Never stop fighting. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
