Even through one of the most difficult weeks I've had in a looooong time, I have not succumbed to the warm, soothing brown arms of my faithful old friend peanut butter. I've turned in his direction countless times, even holding his hard glass jar in my hands a few times. I have not unscrewed his lid. Today is day 6 - challenge 3 met - I have the rest of this Lenten period to get through on my own with him. It will be hard, but if I can make it 5 days, I can make it 40.

CHALLENGE #1
I chose to walk a 5k. I chose this one because I am still getting over being sick, so a 5k was within reason for my body to do. While my son was at football practice last night, I walked and enjoyed the weather outside. It was in the low 70s during practice......very nice.

Challenge #3
I chose to give up chips for the week (I am giving up chips for Lent, too.....so I have a long time of not being able to eat them!). I don't need these fried food goodies in me when there are other healthier alternatives to chips, such as popcorn.2 -
CHALLENGE #3
I chose to lighten my load by leaving behind ice cream. The last two days were difficult because I have been at training conferences and ice cream was in the menu! I didn't see that coming, but I managed to prevail!

CHALLENGE 3 done
I left behind eating breakfast (really it was I went 15 hours from my last meal the previous day until I ate something but it was basically breakfast!). This is a challenge for me as I'm always really hungry first thing. I tried this though because I've had several friends who said it really helped them break through a plateau. It wasn't as hard as I though it would be and really got me back in touch with true hunger. I will be continuing this when I get back from my trip! (I also gave up my daily peanut butter and cracker snack which I definitely miss!)3 -

CHALLENGE #3 - DONE
Say Cheese
While I don't necessarily eat cheese everyday, it is a valuable and tasty component in my food choices. Cheese in salad or Cheese in sandwich or maybe Cheese to fill out calories for the day. When you posted the weeks events, I had just bought a new bag of those delicious, single-serving, red-wax-wrapped, tiny wheels of deliciousness - Babybell cheeses. So I gave up my beloved cheese for the good of my team until this morning, when I had an onion and cheese omlette.

TWO HOURS UNTIL THE IDITAROD TEAMS LEAVE ANCHORAGE! 2

I believe the start of the race will be live at the "Iditarod Countdown" site that @hawkins410 posted at the beginning of this week's itinerary. It also looks like a good site to follow the race! Thank you @hawkins410 and @MissionEnforcer for another great week! 2

CHALLENGE #3:
I decided to make do without soda for 5 days. I was originally going to cheat and give up only diet sodas, since I drink both types
...; guilt took over and I gave up all soda .
I really, really wanted a soda (yes, probably because I couldn't). I substituted with more coffee and orange juice. I'm sure the juice was healthier, but does have a lot of sugar! I'm going to continue to cut back on my soda consumption, and try to be a little more "balanced" with what I'm eating and drinking.

Excuse me
CHALLENGE #3
I left coffee behind for 6 days.
Because I want to know what coffee do with my body and if I am addicted
But after this week my conclusion is
I'm not addicted and I feel great so next week I go drink my latte/cappucino/and normal coffee again but less than normal
2 -
I am addicted to coffee but I have reduced it from about 8 cups a day to 2 , I think this is a thing!3

@ejdp254: This would be Tara if she was a husky!
@Vowder: That is so cool about the Northern Lights! Puppies AND lights...on my way!
@Ingrid2017: Too cute!!
I am happy I just finished the Iditarod Dare but just like others have said...you only have to go 2.5K or 1.55 miles for Challenge #1.
ALSO remember Challenge #2 can be broken into segments and you don't even have to use the video! 1 -
IS THIS BARTENDER SATISFACTORY FOR Y'ALL?3 -
CHALLENGE #3:
Successfully completed 5 days without a Starbucks latte or any other purchased coffee drink. It was made enough tougher by the fact that the conference center/hotel had CRAPPY free coffee. So, today on the 6th day...I totally had one at the airport.
Feeling better thank goodness. Got my last run in this morning before packing it up and leaving Scottsdale. I'm currently on my long flight home to 14 degree temps. Sad.2 -
