Planning is a HUGE step for most of us and even when we aren't able to stick to our planned menus for one reason or another, having planned the day is still a big help.

Ha! This is making me think ahead to the NEXT challenge... I have gotten pretty good at planning out great menus. Then life intervenes ... When to exercise (seems like I'm always too hungry or too full - then not hungry at all for hours *after* exercising)? When to eat if I'm not hungry at the planned eating time - do I cram in two meals and a snack worth together later? How to eat the planned meal if I end up being away from the planned food?

It's a work in progress, that's for sure. Next challenge, I am going to have to focus on eating ONLY what was planned :p

This thread is actually only for challenge record keeping, that's why it's pretty quiet. We edit our original posts and tally the points there each day, but do our chatting in the daily SBD chat thread. I hope you'll join us to chat about your challenges and victories. You'll get lots of feedback and encouragement from those doing the challenge and also from those who aren't doing it this time around.
