    This week I will give up goldfish crackers! I know it sound silly but I could eat a whole bag if I don't pay attention! So if I need a snack carrots or apples it is! Swim away little fishes!

    And to those going without peanut butter, I wish you luck! I love peanut butter!!

    Not eating fruits and veggies. My challenge will be to get at least 3 servings of fruits and veggies every day. I know that is not the recommended amount, but honestly, there are weeks when a fruit or veggies doesn't cross my lips. :embarassed:

    No Soda! and No Cigarettes for me!!! I can't lose weight drinking soda all the time and still smoking. Funny, it's been easier without the cigarettes, than the soda!! :laugh:

    I really like the little challenges each week.

    This week, I gave up flavored creamer in my morning coffee...used flavored coffee, a little skim milk, and a packet of truvia instead. I really don't miss the creamer, still get to have my morning caffeine fix, AND saved about 120 per morning!

    Result: down almost 2 pounds this week! :happy:

    I will not eat peanut butter without measuring - just one serving not one jar!

    I did have peanut butter several times this past week BUT used a measuring spoon every time!

    I have three bad habits that are all counterproductive to my weight loss efforts.

    1. Eating portion sizes that are too large.

    2. Not exercising consistently.

    3. Not drinking at least 64 oz. of water a day.

    For the next 7 days, I will cut back on portions, drink the required water and exercise at least 5 days.

    My new mantra: Make no excuses, accept no excuses, just get it done!
