Birth Order

I've always been a bit curious about birth order theory.  I meet someone highly organized and productive and sure enough,  I later discover they are "first borns."  On the other hand, I run into someone a little more carefree and whimsy; indeed, it's later revealed that they are "last borns."  I am not a first born, if I were, I am sure that this blog would be visually and textually different than what is here presently.   I am a last born.  Declaring my whiteout (though I realize it's important to my health) , was kind of whimsy, and the plan for achieving this new lifestyle was not calculated and controlled; rather, it unfolds quite randomly on a day by day basis, but this, I feel, is what will work best for me.  So, if a last born, you should totally follow this, if not, just hang in there with me.  In my last post, " January 1- Resolution," I outlined step 1 of my plan: throw out The gluten in my home aka-"holiday bootie."  Surprisingly, this was more painful than I had anticipated.  I had some leftover pumpkin roll in the fridge.  I am a glutton for cream cheese icing.  I REALLY wanted to snag one more piece of that spicy, cakey, gooey, creamy cream-cheese confection before I tossed it, but I declined, sticking to my guns!  Yay me!  By following through with step 1, (and I stress "follow through" which is really first born-like), I was inspired to come up with (baby) step 2 in my whiteout journey.  Step 2--- No gluten or sugar before noon.  If I continue to stick to my guns with step 1, step 2 should be a breeze.  My plan is to obtain 100% success with steps 1 and 2 of my plan for 7 consecutive days.  I think I can do it!  Thankful to have the "last born's" sense of optimism!
