Cognitive Carpools Care
I got my book in the mail the other day "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Greening Your Business." and RideSearch is in the top of the list of sites to use to find a carpool. We are also on the resources section of the book. It reignited my passion for doing this. I've been on TV and that was fleeting. I was in many blogs and that was fleeting. I was in the newspaper and that was fleeting. The Women's Health issue was good in that the magazine can be saved by people. But a book. That means that years from now someone will check it out of the library and the site will be there, although if I pull the plug the site actually won't.
I go back and forth with this. Where I am at now is I am doing the work to do to sell it. The funny thing is I am continuing working on the 3.0 version - the one that makes money - to make the site more sellable. The logic is that I am already 70% done with it. Why not finish it? Then I can quit. I have the tools and the skill to put it together. All I need is the time. And with summer tv shows not doing anything I think I do have the time. At least until the baby is born. I worked on it last night and got far. I think this site will be something I do when I feel like it and I really just shouldn't take it so seriously. For some reason when it is a success I feel like a success and when it is a failure I feel like a failure. That's what I need to quit, my emotional ties to the site.
Back to my second topic I talk about. I started the diet/exercise thing again this week - Lost with the treadmill. This time, tonight, from 6-7pm(guys night is at 7:15) I will go to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Weight Loss. Why not? I found a good one close by who takes my insurance. We shall see if this is any good. I figure I fit the "compulsive overeater" category. I do hope it is not like what they do for people with OCD and make them face their fears. I can just see her placing a salad in front of me and forcing me to eat it. I really need to be specific about what I am wanting. I just need some mental techniques to use when tempted by restaurants, getting seconds, work treats, cookies and ice cream. Because I give in faster than a jack rabbit. We shall see.
