Dec. 2nd - Dec. 8th

Your (optional) mini challenge this week is to make a healthy food choice every day.

What this means is, on Monday, instead of adding the usual creamer to your coffee, you add nothing.
On Tuesday, instead of choosing a candy bar to beat your sugar craving, you choose a banana.
Etc.

Each day this week, stop by this thread to let us know what healthy food choice(s) you made.


Note: You won't be removed from the group for not completing this challenge as it's optional.

    Humm, this will be easy for me (or can't do challenge) because I don't eat sweets, and I eat very healthy, nothing to replace bad choices, for I choose healthy choices to begin with.

    Hmm, I normally eat very healthy too but today I chose to make butternut squash soup to fill me up instead of having chips (or fries for the americans) with my dinner. Im still eating pizza but its homemade so pretty healthy.
    For the rest of the week I will try to avoid crisps (or chips for the americans!) and eat some fruit or veg instead. crisps are my go to food when I am hungry between meals.

    Today I used reduced fat butter and Truvia on my oatmeal, instead of a little regular butter.

    [/quote

    This is one I've mean trying to do for years!! :grumble: At one time I told myself....Okay, before you have a soda you have to drink a glass of water. I did that for 2 days....then back to just soda. I am so addicted. I have read sooooo many articles good and bad about the subject. I only drink diet (which is another subject all on it's on). I will have to see how well you do with this one.

    GOOD LUCK!! I hope you succeed!! :drinker:

    I ate 1 serving of soup instead of 2 (a whole can) and saved the rest in the fridge. I also drank water instead of soda.

    November 1st - water instead of pop! (by the way i found an easier (for me) way to give up pop...If you have a hard time switching from pop to water first start by eliminating caffeine pop for about a month (I still drank 7-up, Sprite, Sierra Mist, Orange, etc..) then when you have that under control it seem to be easier to give up all pop)

    Good luck everyone!

    This morning I went into a convenient store to buy suckers for my 6th period class. I was so tempted to buy a chicken and cheese crispito because I LOVE them but instead I chose to stick with my crunchy granola bars. Whew...man, this is HARD! Haha!

    Just raided the fridge for a snack, I was starving after my swim this morning. We still have turkey and I really wanted 1/2 of a sandwich but settled for just 1.5 oz of turkey instead and a cutie tangerine.
