Now that the 20 CARB CHALLENGE is over, I wanted to thank all the SAPPHIRES who finished this challenge with me. And thank you to the RUBIES, as well. I had a blast being the team leader with so many motivated, funny and active people. GO RUBIPHIRES!!
I especially want to thank Sara for instigating the challenge. It was really what I needed. After a summer of not doing real great, it was good to get motivated again with so many like minded people. I think this challenge really refocused a bunch of us - especially those of us in the Atkins group. It was fun to see so many of us participating and getting into the mini-challenges. I know we lulled on the 3rd week - but because we had so much support, we all got over it and came back strong at end the challenge. This challenge really was a gift.
So now we are into the October Challenge. And I'm participating in the Common Sense Challenge, as well. I found my bravo in the challenge forum and intend to use the momentum I have going to KEEP GOING.
Boy, this is beginning to sound like an acceptance speech. Only longer. :) Enough. ___________________________________
The last few days I've been battling my first cold of the season. It has really been hard for me to be active...and all at the beginning of the Common Sense Challenge. Today is a little better. I'm actually looking forward to exercise.
DAY TWO OF NO CAFFEINE. So far, no temptation. I'm a little in shock - I thought it would bother me a lot more. Drinking herbal tea in the morning. I really like something hot in the morning and this seems to be hitting the spot. It also helps my cold symptoms! ____________________________ FOOD JOURNAL (I'm frustrated using the one on here because I ate so many homemade items today!!)
