I think I'll declare today my free day. I was pretty good all week. I think the only not so good moment I had during my week was Friday evening at bunco. So, Saturday will be my "free day" and Sunday back on track. :-)

Spring Fling Challenge

I signed up for another challenge over at Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans, it's the Spring Fling Challenge and it'll go for 8 weeks.

I'm so excited to have gotten in on this challenge and that it's being done in teams. I'm hoping that this will be the motivation that I need...I can't let my team down!

I'm on Team K which is made up of...
Allison
Jones
Mel
Kelly K
Teresa G
and myself, Cristina

My goals for this 8 weeks is to keep my eating on track. I do fine with exercise but my eating habits are aweful. I had been doing so well and then the holidays came around and I fell off the wagon and I feel like I've just been spiraling out of control. I mean way out of control. I think that between Thanksgiving and now, I've put on about 20lbs...THAT IS RIDICULOUS!

So back on the wagon I go! I'm starting out at 199.

Lent 2010

Well, I contemplated and contemplated about what to give up. Originally I said I was giving up chocolate and peanut butter. Then I started asking around to see what others were giving up. One person was giving up caffeine, alcohol AND sweets. So, them giving all of that up, got me thinking...I should give up more. So, I decided to give up sweets (including chocolate) AND peanut butter. So, no candy, no cookies, no ice cream, no frozen yogurt, no sitting with the jar of peanut butter, no nothing like that.

I usually have a vita top muffin for a snack...so I'll be giving those up as well. To replace the muffins, I'll go back to making the fiber one muffins using applesauce and egg whites. I also usually have a sugar free jello pudding at lunch. I've decided to continue with that, as long as it's not chocolate flavor. Oh and my oatmeal usually has a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder...I'll still add that to give my oatmeal a little flavor...it's not like I'll be going overboard on unsweetened cocoa powder. :-)

So there you have it...no sweets, chocolate or peanut butter for me for FORTY days!
