I came across this wonderful challenge last night after wolfing down a few candy bars and thought...hmmm. Is that an exercise bike next to the bed, or is it really destined to be a coat rack for the rest of its unnatural life? I thought about it again this morning and well...I think it may be time to do a little more than sit on my broomstick all day. Yes, I walk a lot at work, but that only gets me so far.
I have been trying to give up sodas first and foremost. Those key lime classics really do get to me, so that has to be my once a month exception. That and the baby candy bars I allow myself to have once and awhile. I just need to make it a little longer between whiles...(smile). Water...tea-no sugar...water....more water. I am good with that most of the time. Just don't get near my three teaspoons of ice cream. Mine I tell you...Mine!
Would love to hear from you if you are in this challenge and what you are doing to try and get healthier for the holidays.

Oh yes! I totally agree. I just went back and started Weight Watchers again. It worked really well for me about a year ago. Going to try and just do the online version this time. Fingers crossed. Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteI agree also. I drink way to many sodas, but my real vice is Ice Cream. What helps me keep my weight down the most is walking. Walking at least one mile release our natural endorphins and makes me feel so much better. I had worked myself up to 3 miles but quit due to a big life change. I know I should try to do it again so I love this challenge.
