Hi guys,

Just a quick check in! Congratulations to everyone who made it through day 1!

And so starts day 2, it's a breeze so far. Tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the toughy it's donut day tomorrow.

Hope every one has a good day 2~!

So far so good for me today. For snack I had 1/4 cup of walnuts and that seemed to hit the spot. Nightime is the worst I need to think of something to keep myself busy tonight.

hey everyone,

day 1 was good. i kept busy so that helped to keep my mind off of "stuff".

oh my goodness, the challenge came when i went to the store and everywhere i turned there was chocolate...chocolate krispy kreme donuts, chocolate donut hole, chocolate fried pies..mmmmmm...ok, sorry...i'm backed focused. i bought oranges,bananas and sugar free real juice...whew. we r going to do this!!!!

Okay, day two going well -- but I've been drinking water whenever I want my junk food -- I think my internal organs are beginning to float!!! But, I guess (within reason) you can't have too much water but you can have too much junk food!!!

[chimichanga]

well done ladees, keep it up!!

Instead of having cheese on my sandwiches yesterday I had a WHOLE avocado split between lunch and dinner. EEK!!! I think that has 26grams of fat or something, when my daily intake should be like 10....oops. I will have to find something other than butter, cheese and avo to make my sandwiches edible!!! I wonder if cheese "flavoured" crackers would be aloud?

I am making it okay. tired and grouchy, but that's to be expected. I finished up the last of the chips I bought yesterday just to get them out of the house. other than that i've had a ton of water and that's about it. not good i know but there's a limited amount of 'okay' foods here right now and payday's tomorrow.

chimichanga -- try not eating the WHOLE avocado... eating 1/2 of it in a day should be okay, just use 1/4 of it to make each meal 'edible.' avocadoes have lots of good oils in them, so I wouldn't be scared of eating it.... just maybe not the whole of it!

I like how most people put their resolution in their signatures. Makes it easy to match the posts with the 'not-allowed' food! And shows solidarity We're in this together!

So I had a weird moment last night where I realized that I'm not allowed to have fast food or restaurant food until Lent is over.... And immediately I HAD to go get fast food. IMMEDIATELY. I had this buring DESIRE to go and just violate my resolution and ruin the first day.

Luckily, I took a breath and went to a bookstore instead Weird, though, the immediate impuls that almost took me the instant I remembered I wasn't allowed........

No forseeable problems with Day 2 either, looks like 2 days down, 38 to go (or 44... or whatever the math with the Sundays adds up to! No cheat days for me!)

[Wide in Winnipeg]

Guess what!!!
2nd day down!! Yippee! I know for a fact I'm going to be way sore tomorrow but right now I feel freaking fantastic! I think I'll push the issue and jump on the bike for a little while yet tonight! LOL!

[sotypical]

chimichanga - why only 10 grams? i eat WAY more then that... and avocade is good fat!

today is going okay... got a headache, but i dunno if it is related. lets just say im glad i didnt give up chocolate! haha mind you... chocolate is a problem for me

[canadian mom]

I get bad headaches if I go threw a spree of pop drinking and then stop.

[britomart]

I wouldn't be surprised if you're getting withdrawl symptoms from art. sweetener if it's something you've had a lot of consistently. Makes you glad you're stopping for a while, huh?

[muzikjunky]

This is going to be very hard for me, but no fast food. I am not going to pick more than one, because I will probably not do it...but yeah. No fast food. -tear-

[meg on a mission]

Day 2 down, and all's going great! I am so happy about this challenge, because I was starting to get a little discouraged with myself. But, having this accountability has made me feel positive again! Keep up the good work everyone, old habits are hard to break!

[Cats tongue]

So far so good.

There's a really tempting piece of cake hiding in the fridge calling my name... But I'm gonna head downstairs and forget about it.

Man. One day in and I'm already wishing I'd given up something besides sugar.

[House_of_Mirth]

In honor of living more actively I want to give up television...I will watch televison if its part of a social activity and movies with a limit of 2hrs a day on DVD are okay (not giving up my netflix). But no spending my weekends wathcing Bravo re-runs and eating my dinner in front of Scrubs.

I wish everyone else luck
