I though we might talk about our weekly challenges.

Last week I was trying to make my fiber goals. Durring the week it was no problem but on weekends it seems I eat less fruit, vegies and whole grains. I guess I need to plan these into my weekends even if I am constatly on the go.

    sounds like a good challenge. I quick way and easy way to add fiber to your diet is through flaxseed
    ready this:

    The ground flaxseed tastes great on my oatmeal and salads!

    This last week has been a struggle. Thanskgiving and several other get togthers made my food diary kind of crazy. I did go over a few days but tried to make up for it by exercising as much as I could.

    I think I need a few days to be ready for weigh in.

    And I am up to 5 glasses so far today :)

    Im a little nervous about weigh in I got engaged this weekend and celebrated!

    When I think of this as a lifestyle change, it easier to "forgive" times that I enjoy myself and maybe indulge a bit too much. As long we enjoy those celebration days and then return to our healthy habits, I think we will be fine. I know I enjoyed Thanksgiving and an evening with friends that included several bottles of wine in the last week.

    I am back to my normal healthy routine now and am hoping weigh in has me the same as last week.

    Fingers are crossed!
