    But.. egg nog!. .I have one quart left!. . lol.

    You don't need the egg nog - if it can stay for 4-5 more days, push it to the back of the fridge and then you can have something extra nice to look forward to at the end of the week. I've pushed a box of duncan hines brownie mix to the back of the cupboard and I'm just counting down the days until I can fall on it like a frenzied lion!! :laugh:

    A co-worker came to me and offered sugar covered almonds, so I politely said no but then she insisted.... I had to be really firm and it sounded kindof mean.... ooops. I don't want to tell them I am not eating sweets this week. How do I stay away from sweets without being mean to people????

    This happens to me alot. It seems like when I decide to cut foods for a certian time period or even limi my portions, thats when people start trying to shove it down my throat, even if I say no. Usually what I don't do is tell them I'm trying to cut back because then it beomes their personal challenge to get you to give in. I usually say thanks I'll have some later and then don't. If they are extra pushy I take it from them, kindly get out of sight and throw what ever it is in the trash. Better in the garbage than glued to my thighs..lol

    I am pleasantly suprised to learn that after monitoring my sugar intake today, that I really haven't been eating or craving sugar.

    Peanut butter (I have this everyday) and honey were my downfall today.

    I'm thinking that as the days go by it's getting easier and easier to just say no and to avoid...somewhat like when you exercise - at first it seems as if you're going to die (or is that just me?) but as you get stronger it gets so much easier!!

    again late to this challenge. But hey, better late than never. I will follow the challenge for the remaining of the week. This should be easy as I do low carb (Dukan) anyways.
