Well well well.....
In the last week, we have grown in numbers and gotten ready to start this year. So here is the first of many challenges. Many people refer to the new year as a "clean slate." a chance to start a new. It only makes sense for us to start by making out bodies a "clean slate" So we are starting with a bang with a TWO part challenge. From now until next tuesday you are challenged to the following.
#1: MFP suggests you drink 8 glasses of water daily and that it just what you are going to do. Your water is not only important for hydration but it is also instrumental in removing "Icky" stuff from your body. So lets clean that slate and flush out the holidays.
#2: The holidays are a wonderland of sweet treats. well this week is NOT. No sweets. No cookies, cakes, candy ect.... Their are some food items that walk a thin line but I will leave that desicion up to you. But you know what "sweets" are and I expect that those sugar loaded goodies are not part of your gameplan.We are taking this week to get that sugar out of our system and get our bodies ready for the road ahead. The holidays are over and while it is acceptable to have sugar plumbs dance in your head, you better make for darn sure none of them are dancing down your throat.
Reminder*- If you have not sent me a weigh in yet please do so by tommorow evening so I can get it on the spreadsheet and posted. I have a bit of programing to do to get it set up as their are so many of us so I will get the starting weights posted as soon as I can. As you know this week's weight in will be considered a starting weight for this year. Now I have to get to the gym and get a run in.
For those of you who watch, Enjoy the biggest loser and I look forward to what we can accomplish!

i agree, amanda, i always leave myself calories for an ice cream sandwich at night. but, i guess i can live a week without them :grumble:0 -
Oh dear...water drinking no problem, but the sweets. The gang where Jim works has no idea that I am sending the remaining cookies and Christmas goodies their way. Evil plan but it gets it away from me.
Thanks Andrew !!0 -

Yeah thanks Andrew! While the goodies disappear away from her, they are still with me. My problem is the water drinking. Bobbi is always asking how much water have you drank today, ummmm none. I'm a diet coke addict. I'll give it a shot.0 -
