Week one

I've started this week by writing down what i'm going to eat. This way I was able to prepare my food without having to decide what to eat. I still faced many temptations! You never realize how much "bad" food is offered to you by friends, church members, family, co-workers, or samples in the stores until you are trying to eat right!!!!! Many of these temptations I turned down, but some i indulged in. There was always an internal war with some rationalization. Sometimes the "light" won, but sometimes the "dark side" won! And personally I think that is ok to indulge sometimes as long as you don't go overboard. Otherwise you may feel deprived and over-eat shortly thereafter. So, something that I want to do to help keep myself motivated and accountable is offer weekly challenges that help me and you!!!!! I will also be posting about my personal challenges (things that I find difficult) and how I overcome. I'm greatful to have this Blog even if no one reads it because it will help me, but i hope it also will help you! Let's do this together!
So, my first challenge: Register for the Pound for Pound Challenge through the Biggest Loser. When you pledge to lose a pound they donate $0.14 to a local food bank which can buy one pound of food to feed the hungry in your neighborhood! So, if you pledge to lose 20lbs they donate 20lbs of food to a local food bank! It is a good thing for you and your hungry neighbors!!!
