    Conundrum: 100% natural foods only but I start the day with some mess I gave to take as a consequence of my weight and some supplements prescribed by my doctor. Definitely not natural. All meds, etc do NOT count against you. TAKE YOUR MEDS! But then lets live an all natural life day - a day like our ancestors ate before "food science" and "engineered foods" became a way of life! When in doubt, eat a fruit or vegetable!

    Go WOMR!!!!!

    THANKYOU everyone for your support!!!!! .... and now on to TODAY!

    Ok,I'm BACK. NO more crap and NO more excuses. I'm also embarking on a sugar free (sweetener free) fruit free journey til the end of the year. I intend on feeling better ALL the way around. Sugar just wreaks HAVOC on my body and I'm READY ..mentally... to get rid of it and FINALLY feel better. Here I go. :)

    I'm quite excited about this ... KNOWING that it will be sooo sooo hard, but not impossible. :)

    I won't be doing "all natural" day...just can't do it all. I will have my canned chicken breast from costco and my organic hummus, but they are both "processed" in some way. So, I will miss out on that point, however.... here I go. I"m very excited. :)

    Happy Thursday!

    GO WOMR!! Thanks for the words of encouragement.

    Today won't be so bad for me...I cut up a bunch of vegetables and they are now roasting at in the oven with olive oil, garlic powder and some natural pink salt. Lunch was avocado salad.

    I LOVE EATING ALL NATURAL! So good for you!

    Hopebuck: Why does sugar mess up your body? It's not so bad, it fuels your vital organs when your body cannot convert food down to glucose fast enough. Well it's up to you, but some is okay like agave nectar. It's low glycemic.

    Incredible. On most days I eat whole foods. The one day its a team challenge I blow it.
    I also gave in to my favorite food in the world...brie cheese! I only had a little bit, so I'm still kind of proud of myself.
    Water fine... no refined sugars....

    This challenge has been a real eye opener for me! I did a monthly exercise challenge with not problem. This has really taught me a lot about my eating habits!
    I still struggle with trying to get a fruit in daily and eating out. Social situations are so difficult for me!
    Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and support! The accountability does help me to stay on track...as much as I am. I would be a total wreck without you!

IT IS NOT ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES WE FALL; IT IS ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES WE GET BACK UP!!! We are all learning a great deal about how all these different daily challenges affect us. I am amazed at how drinking water makes me feel so much better, feel less hungry and even makes my shin more pliable. And the no gluten days - amazing how much better I feel. KEEP PUSHING YOURSELF!! Don't let your old familiar excuses win. Tomorrow is a brand new day full of a promise of any life we want. LETS GO GET IT!!!!

    New day, new week, new start!
    I am going for a perfect score this week! Join me!!

    (whew...cheerleading take a lot out of ya)
