Day 11--Friday, May 8: No sweets, no spuds.
Day 12--Saturday, May 9: No sweets, no spuds. I was proud of myself today for avoiding ordering the dish at the restaurant that comes with some tasty mashed potatoes. I opted for another item on the menu that was spud-free.

Welcome back, SeeMyFeet! Great restart, Obsidian. Your journaling has already paid off, Hard Working Dog, as it has helped you identify your next challenge. Hope to hear from Jodaleeb, Stepper, Gardener, Crow, and everyone else soon with some challenge successes.

Day 2 30 min barre workout.

Feel a little better this time around.

Happy Mothers Day to all, and good job on everyone's challenge!

Congratulation Dr Geri on spud free meal,

I will drink a glass of water before each reception or other event at work where I know sweets will be served. On days when there are no reception events, I will just add an extra glass of water to drink at work at any time.

Welcome to TFC and welcome to the challenge thread, Aylan! Your water challenge sounds well-chosen. Wishing you much victory!

I want to count my calories on MyFitnessPal. I'm allowing myself one pause day.
I start tomorrow! (it's nighttime already, so :P)

Day 15--Tuesday, May 12: No sweets, no spuds.

Pause Day #2--Wednesday, May 13: I do not like unplanned pause days. A dear friend gave me the gift of a brownie for lunch. I managed to resist it at lunch, but put it in my bag and took it home. So after work I ate it. It tasted amazing, this challenge is definitely helping me to really taste the potatoes and desserts when I get them more rarely. But I should have found some way to give away, or throw away, that brownie. Just because a well-meaning person puts a food in my hands doesn't mean I have to eat it. Usually I am ok to avoid the sweets if they are laid out on a table, but being directly handed a brownie is somehow beyond my current powers of refusal.

Welcome, WendyBirdX! Have a great challenge, we are here for you.

Challenge: change just one small habit!

Journal everything I eat and post my sugar TREATS . I need accountability and am thinking that posting will help keep my sugar intake down. Three pause days allowed.

May 9th- Day 11, 2 Dove, and 1 huge haystack cookie. --- p.m. - 2 pb cookies witch the scale showed this a.m. and I felt quite full after eating, darn it.
May 10th - PAUSE DAY #1
May 11th - Day 12, Journal - 3 Dove
May 12th - Day 13, Journal - 3 Dove & 1 pb cookie
May 13th - Day 14, Journal - 4 Dove & 1 pb cookie-----gonna be hard to loss weight with all these goodies, gotta behave better :o

SeeMy, doing great, keep it up!

DrGeri,Perhaps ask the friend for no more sweet gifts. Your are doing great, planned pause day or not.

Obsid, Look at you GO! woohoo.

aylan, :welcome3:to the thread & to 3 FC. Water challenges are always great.

mandy, :welcome2:to the thread. I'm thinking counting calorie may be my next challenge(not losing any weight). Good luck on this habit.

:cheer:LETS DO THIS!:cheer2:

Day 16--Thursday, May14: No sweets, no spuds.

Pause Day 3--Friday, May 15: Aaagh, another unplanned pause day. Again I won the battle with myself to pass up the pie served at the banquet. And that took work! But then I was directly handed the gift of four litte chocolates, and there was no resisting. Saturday is going to be hard with no pause days left. I have to get through the next five days sweet and spud free.

Day 3 cardio with weights.
Day 4 Pilates - didn't want to get up, but the challenge forced me out of bed.
Day 5 cario and strength training.
