    Challenge # 3
    I left behind my caffeinated coffee successfully for 5 days. This was very difficult as I'm already crazy exhausted and need to be fully functioning at work. However, I did stick with it. I had pretty bad headaches the first 2 days. I thought about grabbing an energy drink for last night in case my husband was wanting to stay up but decided that defeats the purpose. Tonight I was more nervous about that and bought one but didn't drink it. I am super excited to be able to drink my full caffeine stuff tomorrow though. Although I would like to try harder at weaning down to less caffeine overall and this proves I can do it.

    I completed the 2.5k Frostbite Footrace.
    I completed this by walking outside since it was so nice outside today.

    I was successfully able to give up drinking soda this week. I think it was the only reason i didn't gain weight seeing as I didn't get as much exercise and my diet was a little worse than usual.

    I gave up soda for the past 5 days.
    After the intial headache I now have more energy and have been drinking more water.

    @cjborkowski - Check the spreadsheet, I think I accidentally entered my points on your space.
    @MissionEnforcer - I did complete challenge #2 by leaving behind all the hard candy for 6 days.

    @cjborkowski FYI you need to write challenge 3 like I did above your post per rules to get points

    Everybody make sure you go back and check the spreadsheet! If you have any red numbers, it means your challenge has been rejected (probably because they want you to re-format it to match the examples) and you have to resubmit it on this thread to get credit! Check out the example for Challenge#3 from @energyseeker a few posts above this. :)

    I gave up creamer in my morning coffee.
    It was nice to save the 70-ish calories every day. It also felt good to go back to the way I first statted drinking my coffees: all black! I will still indulge myself every once in a while with a little coffee in my creamer but I enjoy having those extra calories for the important things, like dessert!

    I chose the 10.49 IDITAROD.
    While I was planning doing it all at once, my week ended up being crazy so I spaced it out over the week. Today, it was cold and windy but my boys and I got outside and put in the final 2.9 miles of the 10.49!

    @MissionEnforcer I added my points to the spreadsheet before I posted here. Sorry about the mix up.

    I'm going to try to do this again.
    Challenge #3. I left behind hard candies.
    I had just recently started to eat 6-10 hard candies every evening with my tea. I needed to nip this new habit and I have successfully made 6 days without hard candies.
    @MissionEnforcer - can I please have my 5 points now?

    I'm not going to be able to do the challenge #1. I'm so sad, it's gorgeous out, sunny and 52. My ankle is so sore and swollen still.

    Challenge 1:
    I chose the 10.49 Iditarod
    I chose this to make sure I pushed myself, I was able to walk outside a few days but with the weather turning cold I finished the rest on the treadmill with a 2.9 mile run today.

    Challenge 3:
    I have up alcohol this week, we usually eat out a few days during the week and I have a glass of wine. I was able to go 7:7 days without my wine

    I chose the 2.5km frostbite race.
    I walked because walking is safer outside during the winter due to the ice. And I also enjoy walking.

    Challenge #3
    I gave up potato chips.
    It was so hard! I fought it all the way until I was driving home from work tonight but I did it. Not sure I will make it a permanent thing - I don't like to remove things I enjoy from my diet. I find when I do that I tend to then binge eat them when I give into a craving. By leaving those items in my diet I am more likely to eat smaller portions and stay within my calorie allotment.

    Challenge #1 5k Frostbite Footrace although in Phoenix there was no frostbite. I walked while volunteering on a Festival delivering ice to booths. I made it as frosty as I could get ;p

    CHALLENGE #3.
    No high calorie drinks (lattes, cappuccinos). I missed them but didn't miss the high cost and my wallet is happy.

    Sorry guys. Just got access to wifi. Been without for a couple of days. Tried to text some of my info to another team member to hopefully get posted but not sure if it got through. I gave up chocolate for five days and only had one day that I really felt like giving in. Was sipping red wine and kept thinking about the chocolate in the fridge, but I did resist.

    Woohoo...headed to visit Tameika!! Didn't have a chance to do any of the videos today but hopefully can get them in tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Then to figure out what to do with a spice. Have a great week Team 2 Beat!

    I did the more gentle workout video and it was fun. I counted as "belly dancing " in my calorie count because that's what it seemed like. Tried again to put on walking shoes. Still ouch.
    I was in Jamaica in February 2016 and did Dunns Falls. I must find my souvenir Jamaica footies to wear oh so fashionably with my sandals this week. :smiley:

    This week will be a fun one! :smiley: Really looking forward to having lower impact challenges, especially since my knee has been getting worse and worse. All the walking made last week's challenges challenging. :wink:

    I chose the spice Thyme.
    I used it on my oven roasted Brussell Sprouts. I like the combination of flavours together.

    On a side note I regularly grated some ginger root into my hot water, lemon and honey. It adds a nice spice.
