ALL HAIL THE CCRRMM DEMON FOOD SLAYERS WHO'VE GATHERED IN THE GREAT HALL O' THE PALACE O' IMPERIAL FIT FOLK TO HEAR OF THIS QUEST!!!!
Oh, was I shouting? Sorry. It's just that it's come to the attention of the palace guards that in this Season o' Pre-Valentine's Day that hath descended on the empire, the evil Demon Food Gang hath been seen in increasing numbers in our previously demon-free environment. Why, the Empress of Everything In the Whole Universe hath herownself been accosted not 24 hours ago by SEVEN PB cups (actually 14 as there are two in a package), which floated into her royal carriage whilst she was doing errands and sang their lovely siren song, making the empress feeleth she be safe and happy to see them, BEFORE they turned fiery red and and attacked her before she knew it, forcing themselves down her throat and depositing unwanted calories within her virtuous fat cells and thoughts of MORE pb cups she could buy in the a.m. ...
Accordingly, the Imperial Food Police Athletic Association is challenging all folkettes in CCRRMM land to a 21-Day Demon Food Challenge to strengthen the public resolve before Valentine's Day. Any who wisheth to post a personal Bad Food Demon(s) that they will pledge NOT TO EAT AT ALL for 21 consecutive days, starting with their first post on the thread, be invited! If thou eatest the Demon Food during the challenge, thou must start counting all over again. Sorry, them's the rules! Participants are asked to check in now and then to update what day they are on and to vent or chat on the quest if they desireth!!!
Note, this be not a competition with the CCRRMM's NOLA challenge ... it's just an extra fun demon-fighting thingie!!!! The empress hath pledged to step into the Great Hall herself (she's on the road to Atlanta right now but can magikally be two places at once, 'cause that's how she is) and post a DF (Demon Food) of her own that she wisheth to deflate. No Demon Food will be hurt doing this exercise ... they will only be banished to a far-off comfy land of skinny folk where their services will no doubt be appreciated more ...

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Hail, Empress-- for starting this much- needed thread. For a queen, I must confess that I haven't been behaving well lately. Too much food! And unfortunately, the demon scale sees and records all. Maybe I proclaimed getting down to my goal weight too soon, as I'm up to 139. Maybe it's a fluke, maybe not. I do know it's time to spring into action! I'll need more than the magick wand though.
At this point I want to tally up 21 'good' days. If I come up with anything more elaborate, I'll let you know. Hey, I'm going to take a leap of faith and join you on the no-candy thing. Baked goods [the grainy organic ones!] will be allowed on my program, just no crappy candy! As I speak it, so shall it be!!!
Thanks for joining the challenge, E!!!! Yes, yes, yes, I hear thee and it goes for me as well: NO CRAPPY CANDY!!!! NO CRAPPY CANDY!!!! NO CRAPPY CANDY!!!
Candy Demons, be afraid, be very afraid.

Reason: Codes!!! And still looking for the clown!
Happy, happy, joy, joy, joy! This and the NOLA challenge have enabled moi to drop down to 152 ... virgin territory, at least for the past few years!!!! I'm more enthusiastic than ever about NO CRAPPY CANDY!!!!!!
Hmmm, Ceara, I'm on Day 3 because I see I started on the 16th, but I think it should only matter what day YOU started on ... even if the thread wasn't up ... also there's a time difference and I'm not sure which day I actually put the thread up here ... but anyhow this is all about our individual goals, so I'd say CONGRATULATIONS ON DAY 4!!!! Yowza!
I know I'm on the third day because it's Sunday and on Thursday I was on the road for 16 hours covering stuff all over this freakin' county and I had 14 evil PB cups (opening the door to a bunch of other BAD FOOD DEMONS)!!!
And the nice thing about a 21-day challenge is if one falleth off the wagon, well, there's always another Day One loping over the horizon to find us!
DINNER: soy 'chic' patty w/ pizza sauce and lite cheese
lentil pasta w/ pesto and vegs [1 cup]
SNACKS: fat-free fudgesicle
6 asst. homemade cookies
Had lunch at a mexican restaurant today. I think I did okay. Didn't have any of those chips they bring around.
Only bad thing about the day is I had too may cookies. I try to comfort myself by saying they were whole grain and all that, but I'm not buying it!
