Magistra and Hard Working Dog, you are crushing it! Gardener, dangerous Curves, Ashli, Obsidian, and everyone else, I love that we are supporting each other through our challenges.

Dr Geri You are off and running really well!!! No spuds, no sweets, quite a combination to stay away from.

Diana Challenge completed!!! both the sit ups and the doors!

Dangerous Curves You are really pushing, and doing 2 x per day what I'm struggling to do. Good for you.

Challenge 1 Stay on Plan (SoP)/Challenge 2 bring lunch or breakfast (LoP)to work
3 pause days each

June 15 1/21 (SoP)
june 16 2/21 (soP) - 1/21 Lunch. I don't want anything I have in the fridge so I picked up some prepared hamburgers and salad for work.
june 17 3/21 (SoP) - 2/21 lunch
June 18 4/21 (SoP) - (3/21) Lunch - Scale is down and I think I think I've learned I don't need elaborate meals. Quick and easy seem to work better and small diverse meals rather than large pots of stuff I'll get tired of eating.
June 19 5/21 (SoP) Lunch 4/21
June 20 6/21 (soP)
June 21 (7/21) SoP finally hit the 350s
June 22 8/21 (SoP) - 4/21 brought Lunch Life is pretty good, learning I want quick and easy dishes to cook or I won't make them, no need it making a big pot of something or maybe I can freeze half...Me and the scale are ok. I'll catch up with everyone tonight.
June 23 Pause day on Bringing Lunch. this was sort of planned since I am going out after work and didn't want to bring my backpack.


Oh and I got a new car GMC terrain....:carrot:

Challenge: Substituting dark chocolate and flavored tea for cookies and ice cream after dinner. I will have three pause days.

Day 1: complete (4 squares Lindt dark chocolate / cinnamon tea)
Day 2: complete (3 squares Lindt dark chocolate / iced mint tea with Splenda)
Day 3: complete (4 squares Ghirardelli Twilight Delight, one square Lindt Intense Mint / water instead of tea)
Day 4: complete (no dessert, went to bed early)
Day 5: complete (strawberries instead of chocolate, mint tea)
Day 6: complete (hanging in there! really wanted to eat a lemon popsicle tonight but opted for 4 squares of Twilight Delight, and mint tea w/Splenda)
Day 7: pause day
Day 8: complete (opted for a homemade berries/yogurt/ice smoothie)
Day 9: complete (tried a new flavor today, Lindt intense orange. Wow, it was so good, it was hard to only eat a serving size. So I am having baked cinnamon apple tea, which tastes just like apple cobbler only without the calories, yum!)
Day 10: complete (4 squares of Lindt intense orange, no tea tonight, really busy sewing!)
Day 11: complete (no dessert tonight, don't know if this day really counts as complete since I had Menchies yogurt for lunch. Hmmm. My husband tried to hand me a popsicle this evening and I refused. So maybe one cancels out the other . . . )
Day 12: complete (3 squares Lindt intense mint, no tea, tired so I went to bed.)
Day 13: complete (3 squares Lindt intense mint. Cinnamon tea on ice!)
Day 14: pause day
Day 15: complete (5 squares Lindt coconut dark chocolate.)


I'm doin it, doin it, makin it happen. :D :carrot: :D

magistra17 :bravo: almost done.

Love2garden :high: I am thinking you're done or close to done.

Obsidianbbw The cheerleading really does help. Thanks
1/2 pound lost this past week, slow and sure. At least it wasn't a gain!!!

Mag Indeed you are doing it. Stopping the chocolate at only a few pieces is really showing restraint, and instead of ice cream, too.
