    I'm in!! I really need work out regularly, I tend to do really good for a week and then slack off. The slacking off needs to stop!
    I'm also going camping this weekend, which normally consists of drinking tons of beer and sitting. I will go for a job (at the least) every day!

    Checking back in with everyone. I just finished day two of the challenge and can't seem to get 8 glasses of water in!!! Does anyone have any tricks to being good about water? Doing great with not drinking sodas.

    I drank flavoured waters - this helped with the taste of things (plain water I just cannot do!)

    Make sure you have a big ol glass of water with EVERY meal - if you have a pint each one then thats like 5 or 6 regular glasses done!!

    Can I still join?

    I'd like to:

    cut out sugar (refined, not fruit)
    stop the extra snacking (have purposeful snacks that contribute to my health, not the random piece of candy throughout the day)

    My 21 days takes me to June 7.

    I have a 75cl Evian water bottle at work which i fill up the night before and leave in the fridge, for some reason i find it easier to drink it our of a bottle than by the glass. Or with a straw! It doesn't feel like so much water for some reason. Try it!

    I would love to join this challenge!

    My goal is to complete weeks 3/4/5 of C25K, and wake up earlier in the morning instead of dragging my butt up at the last minute :)

    I have ceased drinking; not due to any abuse issues (currently) but due to its high caloric value and wanting to clear my mind of all mind altering substances....I quit smoking almost 90 days ago and it feels SO good to be done with that (which I was hopelessly addicted to!!!). So I've gone without drinking for almost a month now (maybe longer but I haven't counted).



    Great job!

    I stopped smoking 3 years ago and have never looked back. I'm not a big drinker so I really don't have to worry about that but I salute you for what you are doing!

    Starting on Monday for me - no bread or pasta....

    I would include rice as well, but that is far too scary - no white rice though, only brown!

    How's everyone doing? I have been successful so far with no sodas but man drinking eight glasses of water for me is a chore. Really hard.

    For lent I quit Drive-thrus, gas station food, and vending machines. for the most part I have to stuck to that since then! I think I have had one granola bar, one coffee, and one chocolate milk from those things and that was after easter:).

    Already quit soda for the most part except occasionally with alcohol, was only drinking diet anyway but that is still bad.

    What I really want to quit is peanut butter, eating off my daughters food, and grazing. Funny how all these things go together, I eat pb because it is in the house because my daughter likes it, I graze when home with my daughter because I get bored. I need to find other things that she will eat lol.

    so peanut butter it is. As soon as we get these current two jars finished lol (one crunchy one regular).

    I hear ya, Sarah!
    I'm a PB Junkie. I had managed to go a full month with NO peanut butter, even though it was in the house. In times past, I would grab the jar and dig in with a spoon. Half a jar later, I found myself headed to the fridge for some ice cold milk to wash it all down. Peanut butter was absolutely NOT safe in my house. Those days are in the past.
    I switched to an all natural (no stir) peanut butter, so all the extra crappy sweeteners and preservatives are gone. I only eat a little at a time now, and only on a single slice of Wonder SmartWhite bread (50 calories per slice), a stalk of celery or a banana.

    I find that I actually appreciate the taste of peanut butter more now that I am taking the TIME to taste it.
    So, I have tackled the PB monster!

    What I am going to give up is cleaning up after dinner. By that, I don't mean to allow myself to quit cleaning the kitchen. Invariably, as I was cleaning the dinner plates, I would end up putting some extra food in my mouth as I was "putting it away". I'm finding that it isn't necessarily what I'm eating as it is how much and how FAST I'm eating. Oops, found another one.... eating too fast.

    I am, for the next 21 days, going to:

    1. Quit eating once the meal is done.
    2. Eat slower.
