Personal Challenge Time!


Something you should know about me - I always accept the dare (unless it's illegal or against my personal standards) and I adore a personal challenge. Competing with others is good, especially on the volleyball court, but I compete best with myself. Where I got the stubbornness, I have no idea.

I am all about the personal challenges right now. If it's in my control, I'm working on it! This year I have the budget challenge, I'm flossing everyday, I've been working out about 5 times a week, and now comes the hardest of them all....

NO SUGAR UNTIL EASTER

I have done no sugar before but this is different. This one doesn't allow for any sugar free substitutes....oh dear. For me to even tolerate water I normally have to put the sugar free flavor packets in it, but now those are gone. No sugar free fudgsicles to ease the craving for sweets. Oh, and this also includes no fried food. No chips or french fries. Yikes!

The picture above is my last sugar until Easter. Oatmeal with dark chocolate chips. My hand was a little heavy on the chips tonight. So long sweetness, it will be a long 5 weeks until we meet again but I think that your absence is going to make me look bomb. That, plus the exercising and the flossing, of course.

Anyone else want to join?

Yes! I've been doing no sugarish lately, but I need to be more committed. I'm with you on the no sugar free, but I'm making one exception...diet coke. I know it's so bad for me, but I'm not into giving it up right now. Does that still count as joining?
