Day 21!!!

I did it!!!!!

Hooray for the little accomplishments in life.

Day 18, 19, 20

So much for daily blogging! I guess there really has to be something to say in order to make me log on and try to say it! The weekend passed with no additional choco-threats, all is well and I've only got one day left of the quest!

Day 17

Oatmeal cookies are calling!

Must.

Resist.

Temptation.


Actually, I am really trying to resist because tonight is Teej's 8th grade banquet and I'm quite sure I'll get my fill of all sorts of refined sugar products. I must say that I have been exceptionally good with my dietary choices this week and a little splurge is in order. Maybe there will be carrot cake tonight...mmmmmmm, carrot cake.

Carrots are healthy, right?

Day 16

I have an idea about what I might give up for my next 21 day challenge. I'm actually thinking of giving up..... my scale! I'm tied to that silly contraption. It has such power over my actions, my day, my thoughts. What if I actually try to eat right, exercise, and loose weight without actually weighing myself for three weeks? Can it be done? Can I be happy and successful without it?

I like this image of a scale...mostly because I'd love to be that weight!

Day 15

It's ridiculously difficult to come up with something new to say about not eating chocolate. Everyday I'm proud that I'm meeting this simple little goal. Everyday I'm tempted, everyday I'm a little closer to day 21. No question that I'm making it to the end.

Day 14

Ventured into the ice cream aisle at the supermarket. I found some really nice little flavored Italian ice cups. At home, I mixed the rainbow ice with fat free Cool Whip and it was like my own gellati creation....yummy.

Okay, so maybe I'm not doing so great with avoiding other refined sugars...but it's fun trying something new.

Day 13

I just walked into my co-worker's office. The nice lady who has the basket full of little dark chocolate goodies. It caught my eye and a tiny voice almost dared me to take a piece. But...triumph prevails! I walked back to my desk, still choco-free.

It's amazing how chocolate is everywhere.

Day 12

As I sit here eating my lunch, wondering what to write about for my blog entry, it occurs to me...I really like cheese. I think I enjoy it on a whole other level then chocolate.

I'm eating low fat cheddar cheese on crackers right now. Life is good.
