    :glasses: :flowerforyou: :heart: We're into a new week here on the Virgo Challenge!!!

    What do you guys do when you have a sweet tooth? I love chomping down on

    some sweet organic carrots, preferably full size, none of these whittled down

    "baby carrots" for me! Lately, at my holistic doctors request, I have been eating handfuls of

    organic raisins as well. I believe it correlates with the body becoming more

    alkaline which then produces better health overall...ENJOY!

    I would love to hear your ideas in the sweet tooth department, oh, and just as an aside,

    I heard that pickles have the ability to quench that desire for sweets, ideas? Thoughts?

    Have a great week of healthy eating and move! move! move! dear Virgos:wink:

    :bigsmile: I never fear a pickle! (well, unless your doctor has warned against them???)

    you can eat them slowly one at a time LOL

    and just remember to cut sodium down from other items!

    I eat salt free whenever possible so that when I want that pickle I just go for it.

    Also, I drink a gallon of water a day, I do not fear pickles:bigsmile:

    Welp, I almost made it. Saturday is my birthday, but we're leaving town today for a trip to the mountains. Hubby's birthday is today, two days before mine, so we always do something kinda fun for "our" birthdays. I won't have access to a scale again until Monday.

    But the scale is an evil b*tch. It hovered at 199.8 for a moment, and I got all excited. Then it bumped up to 200 flat. I thought maybe I jinxed it and got on the scale again. It went right to 200 flat. *sigh* So much for ONEderland by my birthday. I got close, tho.....any closer, and I'd be there, but I'm not bitter. Not bitter at all. :grumble:

    luckily i don't have a sweet tooth at all, i usually crave salty foods!! i like my coffee sweet, but that's about it.

    i LOVE fruit, though! apples are my favorite, i'm definitely one of those "an apple a day" people. oh, and bananas and pineapples! i like dried fruit too, especially dates, figs, and (don't laugh) prunes. i'm gonna go get a fruit now :bigsmile:

    This week we need to push ourselves harder as we are coming close to September

    and I know for myself I am looking to add to the challenge by starting with super

    clean eating next week, Monday, when I return from vacation. In the meantime,

    I am looking to work out at least 90 minutes every day. Are there any of you who

    would like to work out 90 minutes a day with me? We can do any combination,

    strength train, yoga, calisthenics, aerobics, hiking...anything you like:glasses:

    Please send me a personal message to my inbox and tell me of your plan for the week

    if you're in! Together we can stay motivated and build each others ideas!!! Thanks!!!

    I've lost 5 pounds since joining this group! Thanks for the encouragement and support. 12 days to go until my birthday.

    Question of the day: Do you take your birthdays off to celebrate? (i.e. fancy meal, cake, etc.)

    Angel
