In an effort to inspire us to eat right, exercise, and have fun, I am proposing a new challenge - the First or Fourth of July Challenge. Challengers may choose to end their challenge on either the First of July (Canada Day) or the Fourth of July (Independence Day). Here are the rules - Beginning this week, and for every day until the end of the Challenge, challengers must post a message that includes 3 things.
1) their meal plan for the next day
2) their exercise plan for the next day
3) what they plan to do for fun during the next day
In the first post, please include whether you will end your challenge on the First of July or the Fourth of July. If we get several folks in each group, we might even end up with an inter-group challenge!
The challengers with the most posts will win a prize.

Thursday's Journal: Calories...1,173 Fiber... 59 grams Water... 13 glasses (8 oz) Exercise... zillions of trips up and down MIL stairs, I've actually lost 1% of body fat according to my scale yesterday morning. Fun... Finding all kinds of attic treasures! Last nite I made a huge batch of fresh rhubarb sauce sweetened with Splenda, it was soooooooooooooooo delicious with ff Cool Whip on top and so low in calories. (4oz. serving has only 24 calories) It will be great mixed with Strawberry SF jello or put on top of SF puddings. I haven't been home enough to experiment yet but my imagination is running wild with the possibilities.

Snack: Orange
Lunch: 2 oz. turkey breast on 2 slices low cal toast, ff mayo and lettuce (ate on the run again, didn't sit for more than 5 minutes to eat)

Supper: DH had a huge lettuce/spinach salad made up with cherry tomatoes, veggies, etc. and strips of browned chicken breast. Sesame Ginger dressing and 2 slices of lo cal toast SF Butterscotch pudding with ff Cool whip and sprinkled with dry Fiber One. (I would die without my FF Cool Whip)
Evening snack: 12 oz. Rhubarb sauce w/FF Cool Whip kettle corn (100 cal bag) 8 oz. skim milk 16 almonds
