Thanks love2garden! That's a great habit you're working on. Daily exercise is such a stressbuster. It helps in so many ways.

Today is a pause day. I made my plan but forgot I didn't have an ingredient on hand, so we wound up eating out. I stayed within my planned calories so it wasn't a complete failure.

Hello chicks up for a challenge, I am back. I had a wonderful week on vacation eating everything my eyes alighted on. Now it is time to straighten up and get back to better habits. My last challenge, the "No Sweets, No Spuds" with three pause days, was difficult. I need to do it again. So here we go, no sweets (definition: desserts, chocolate, baked goods), no spuds (definition: any form of potatoes) for 21 days. Three pause days. I start tomorrow.

Streudel, great to come back and see you faithfully posting and keeping to your challenge. Go, go, go! Gardener and Hard Working Dog Diana, I'm looking forward to seeing you back here soon.

Challenge: change just one small habit!

to the thread Streudel - you are doing great eating on plan, keep it up.

love2, keep at it, any movement is great. If your feet hurts, how about 10 mins of yoga or stretching?

Geri, Another challenging eating habit month, good for you.

I need more consistent movement from day to day... so 10,000 step min/day for 21 days with 3 pause days possible.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the welcomes and the encouragement. Today tends not to be a good day for me ( it would have been my brother's 45th birthday ). I was off plan, but it wasn't a total train wreck, so I'm taking that as a win.

Day 1--April 1: No sweets, no spuds. Well the challenge started off with a bang for me as I sat at a table for two hours at work with three platters of cookies in front of me the whole time. They looked and smelled good, but I thought of how unfortunate it would be if I spent a pause day on Day 1 of my challenge, and ultimately did not have any. I was very grateful to be participating in the challenge, because otherwise I would have had two cookies in public, and eaten all the leftovers in secret afterwards. So the April challenge is already inspiring and helpful to me!

Hugs to you, Streudel, in getting through a day where you are particularly remembering the loss of your brother. It sounds like he is very close to your heart.

Welcome back, Hard Working Dog Diana. Step step step for your new challenge today!

Love2Garden, thinking of you and all you are overcoming to meet your challenge.

[Streudel]

Good job with day one Dr.Geri! I can say no to cookies cookies, but then I need to walk away before I change my mind. Two hours is an awful long time to stare down temptation. You should be very proud of yourself!

Hit my 3rd pause last night. Starting again today.

I knew this wasn't going to be easy going in. Not making changes to the plan is a struggle for me on a good day, and I'm fighting the binge urge due to some ( a ton of! ) stress in my life right now. So I really need this accountability, even if it means starting over and over again. Anything is better than just giving up.
