Sorry. Completely forgot it was Lent.
It's okay. Even though we're doing Lent you can still join in if you wish.
As for me I'm doing well. I have not ordered any takeaways, purchased any ice cream, or got onto Facebook. I have increased my walks and reduced my sedentary activity. Still more to go but doing alright.2 -
Sorry for the absence, I've been away at a race and not posted. Stocked to it for the most part, except right after the race yesterday...and it backfired. Lesson learned, thank you, stick to the diet!3

This challenge is really helping me to stop stuffing my face at work. This week I totally ignored the 3 days of chocolates and cakes3 -
11/46 days completes! Very low on carbs yesterday, been doing great staying away from prepared foods and sugar!!!2

Busy weekend running kids around so I didn't get to the gym. Went to body pump at 5am this morning so im feeling recharged for the week!
Good luck staying with your goals this week everyone!2 -
Catching up day 11/46 done, not 100% but I avoided most of the damage. Got a bad blow with the last race that is also the first of the season, making me sick. At least I didn't eat any junk, but I didn't stick to my diet either.
Glad to say I jumped back in the saddle as of last night. I'll make it.2 -
12/46 - got through the day without any treats. We were visiting with family, so not much exercise either but today is another day!3

12/46 (Feb 26th) passed with flying colours, most of the soreness from the competition is gone. I'm only left with a sore ankle but hey that was sore before racing too, I'm not impressed. Got physio booked for Wednesday so it's just a matter of holding on, and applying as much kynesio tape as it's humanly possible.
As long as the stomach troubles are over, I'll be happy. Granted.
I love to be back in the saddle, it feels so good.

13/46 - made it! I am really liking how the sugar cravings are disappearing. The longer it is out of my system the better I can stand up to it and say NO!2

13/46 (Feb 27th) done. Training went well and diet at 100%. A job well done. I'm going to bed pleased with myself.2

The last week have been really stressful so I'm proud that I have only had 2 slip ups where I have reverted back to trying to solve my problems with chocolate.

You're doing really good. Chocolate is something that tempts a lot of people. You are doing excellent.1 -
I'm being saved from giving into my desire to have a takeaway by my aide not showing up resulting in me having to order my groceries vs her picking them up at the store. It means instead of using a card I have for the store I had to use my bank account. I am doing okay on the others on my list. I had one really rough day, but the others have been good.1

Good job! I know that feeling when stress hits and only chocolate will soothe it. You're getting there!!!

Thanks @MaelynMayhem and @carlsoda
Well, the chocolate eating and the stress continued today. But tomorrow is another day and I am committing to no sugary snacks.

14/46 (Feb 28th) done.
Finally had physio and mostly fixed my ankle -read, made it usable again, at least. I didn't give in to stress eating after I came home thanks to having dinner ready just waiting to reheat, and going straight to bed afterwards. Got in 7 hrs sleep too, which is a lot for me. Feeling strong.3 -
Yesterday was an epic fail...I was definitely over confident announcing I have over come my sugar cravings when I'm sick...well nope I was wrong. I gave in because I was back to work and over tired. Lesson learned you always need to be vigil especially with old habits of giving in. Today however is a new day and a new month! So I'm still at 14/46 days.2

One day at a time!! Make sure you are properly prepared with prepacked foods/snacks to help keep you away from the chocolate 2 -
Still in it holding strong. Some days better than others with the water intake but I'm staying hydrated though.2

The important thing is that you keep at it, even on those bad things, which it sounds like you are doing. Keep it up!1 -
