• 🙂 starch — I said No to starch, with more cool confidence than ever before. My $10.50 fancy salad has basically no starch.
• 🙂 wrong-time temptation — I was bigger than the temptation this time. Not hungry so I didn’t yield to this temptation as happened hundreds of times. I achieve this only about 10% of the time.  Therefore, I believe I’m possibly growing stronger.
• 🙂 salad dressing — I didn’t need any
• 🙂 yoga block — I brought it to spend at least a few minutes in fish pose. I did as planned
• 🙂 book exchange — I did spend more time than planned and picked up about 6 books. I am free from the must-read obligation that’s common in bought or borrowed books.
