    hey :) Monday already! My lunchbox is already packed and, I must admit, there is some sugar in my cereal and coffee that I already downed this morning. I don't have any for lunch, though and will definitely be avoiding for dinner and snacks! Have a great week!

    :sad: I missed Sunday's challenge!

    As for Monday, there is sugar in some of my planned food like peanut butter, but I don't have any sugar that I will be adding to anything. Looking forward to getting the exercise in after work!

    What are the thoughts on Splenda? Trying to choose the right alternative for my (milk-shake) coffee. I usually put in two splenda and half and half. Any alternatives or suggestions.

    I have been using honey in my coffee or doing it with just skim milk no sugar. It has taken some getting use to but isn't terrible now.

    I have also heard some things about agave nectar, which has the consistency of honey but is a touch sweeter.

    I'm ashamed to admit it, but I had to go to youtube and look up how to do a burpee :blushing: , but I did and I finished last night's challenge and my calves are all tight. It was tough, but I got through it. I also am challenging myself at work to take 4 flights of stairs every hour and that might be what's up with my legs.

    Burpees are tough! But an awesome full body workout. Great job!!!

    I honestly need to just work on self discipline. I do so well when I'm gone away from home and at my nanny job because I take snacks and once I'm out, I'm out and don't eat anything else. But then when I get home and theres dinner on the table, I eat some more. I'm really bad at self disciplining myself and it's starting to really put a damper on me because otherwise I'd be doing so well.

    What do you need to work on?

    Exercising more. I have the time to now and I've just been doing the bare minimum. I need to get out and lace up my running shoes again and go run!

    What have you done well?

    Packing and planning ahead of time.


    Ashley - I agree with that. It's hard. I struggle with it too. Again, I think planning ahead helps. If it isn't planned (and I'm NOT hungry) then I don't need it. If I am still hungry after dinner, have some fruit!
