Re: [Body for Life Women's Club] Re: This Free Day Thing

Do you ever find your free day bleeding into Monday?
I am having thisproblem of getting back in the mind
set about eating clean again Monday morning. Even
though I feel crappy Monday morning from eating all my
candy & cereal....I just can't get back into it
Mondays. Any suggestions?
