Morning,

Popping in really quick to report on my status. I had a successful Day 16 and I am on Day 17.

Off to work for me!

Have a good day, Challengettes!

So..day 4 of the bike to work challenge. It is going very well and is actually rather fun. Plus I figured out that with the miles I am going I am burning an extra 400 calories a day which is great.

So, I should be on day six of the no refined sugar thing, but I might have slipped up and be back at day one. I ma not entirely positive, but I had a fruit tart thing that from the co-op that may have had some refined sugar in it. Well, just to be on the safe side...Day 1. crud.

So, I have a question that need a good opinion...in my bike to work challenge should I count the weekends? I am not working those days, but I am not not biking to work either. Hmmm.

on day 14 of my challenge. everyone is doing so well! congrats to all on all your efforts and success. take care, all.

Hi there!

Zackie, in the weekend there isn't any work to ride to right?

Still going strong. I don't know if the absence of cravings is an effect of SB induction, but I'm definitely enjoying it. I've had the occasional thought that I'd like something carby -- a sandwich, a glass of wine, a few fries -- but never anything overwhelming, just simply little thoughts that drift into my head and that I release into the wild. Before, they would typically badger me until I gave in. So, yay for SB!

I'm going to aim for at least an hour of aerobic exercise a day. Guess I'll add that, because it does seem to help me motivation-wise.

Hello,

I'm on day 20 of my no eating after dinner/8:30 challenge. I can't believe how much easier it is on day 20 than it was on day 1. I guess that's the point of the challenge. I think I'm going to keep it up, because next week is PMS week and I'm notoriously bad that week

Still stuck at day 1 of my NWL challenge though . Need to get working on that.

Trying to figure out what to do for my next challenge. Debating between journalling for 21 days, which I've been very bad at recently, and NEVER go a full week. It will be really difficult, but I think I need it. On the other hand drinking water particularly on days that I don't work is always a challenge although easier in summer, so I was I was thinking maybe that.....Hmm I will decide by Monday.

Zadie - Ditto what Amarantha said. I'd count 'em.

Amarantha - No need for a prize, I'm feeling pretty happy as is . You're not to far behind on that no PBC challenge.

Everyone seems to be doing great. Keep up the good work (I sound like my mom ).

Have a great weekend. I probably won't be back I'm working both days and have a grad party Sat, and Father's day picnic Sun. So I'll be busy.

Howdy,
On day 5 of the bike challenge. It was very windy today so it was a rather strenuous ride, but it felt pretty good and I found a safer route for part of my journey. I am going to reward myself this weekend by buying some biking gloves so that when I take that inevitable spill into the pavement I will not wreck my palms. Today I made it further up the big hill than ever before. By the end of the summer I was to be able to ride up the whole hill, even if it has to be in a wimpy gear.

Day 2 of the no refined sugar challenge. Yesterday I did a very good job of avoiding temptation. I do not mind being back at the beginning really, because even if I never make it 21 days I at least make in several days in a row which is better than I would have done otherwise.

I am glad to see people doing so well. I hope y'all make new challenges after you are don with this one so that you stick around the thread.

on day 15, plugging along with the food journaling. some days are definitely less difficult than others. at this point, i still seem to be fighting it, but doing it, nonetheless, and that what counts. a big hello to all challengettes and you are doing great!
