BLT Success!
Here we are at the midpoint of March. As many of you read, the PNP girls were challenged to get rid of these little diet catastrophes. Honestly, I think most of them "knew" it was a problem but never thought it could be "that bad." Well, LOL, let me just tell you what the heck is going on at PNP.
First, I TOLD YOU SO! Yes ladies, I'm petty. Darn petty and when I'm right, I am SO RIGHT!
OK...with that out of the way. I have had TOO MANY GIRLS TO COUNT lose this month and here's the classic line in their personal journals...
"Well, the scale if finally showing my some love. I lost this week!!!"
Ha! What's different? They ain't eating off the kids' plates, taking a piece of bread when they go to the grocery store, or sampling their co-workers birthday cake UNLESS they are willing to do some push-ups or planned for it. That's the difference. Those BLT's add up so quick and yet are so elusive. I've said it a million times...you don't remember that half bag of french fries in the car (not picking on Lorie...you are just the last thing I read and you owned it 
) when you hop on the scale Monday morning after a week of tough workouts and 80% good, clean eating. Yes, you were ALL letting the 20% drag you into maintenance land kicking and screaming.
Now, your's truly can sit high on the throne all day long, but I cut mine out too about a month ago and speak from personal experience. I do this post out of love...cough, cough, and rightousness. 
Listen up ladies! You've had half of month of awesome success. Do you know what I've noticed this week? Many of you are now getting comfy, letting a bite or two sneak in and then doing your PUPs. Stop it! It's a bite here and there this week accounted for, next week it will be a couple of bites talked about and a couple not mentioned. Before you know it you will right back where you started...moaning and groaning that you can't lose weight.
So, we are getting lazy. I want each of you who are participating to get on here and comment about what the BLT Challenge has done for you. If you are a loser...tell us how much. Tell us why and tell us why you can't let yourself get too comfy. Recommit TODAY!
For my non-subscribers...here's a few links to the blogs where I talked about BLT's just to refresh your memory.

What We Learned
BLT's are where diets are made and where diets are broken. Take it from the PNP gang that planning your diet and exercise, following the plan, and giving it your all is the secret to success. Get on the no BLT wagon with us.
