For this first challenge each of us will be called to evaluate and meditate on what it is or isnt that they are putting in their mouths. Food is fuel and we as big losers need quality energy to burn body fat during our workouts.
Here is how it works; below you see a list of tasks. For the next 7 days you are challenged to complete as many tasks as you can. During the 7 days of the challenge, keep record of a completed tasks and at the end of the week turn in your final total score.
This challenge is on your honor system, be accurate and honest with the points you award yourself. After all, if you cheat you are only cheating yourself from forming healthy eating habits.
TASKS:
GOOD LUCK AND Bon Appétit!

mindless snacking....if your healthy eating plan incorporates healthy food planned as a snack, that is different and in no way would we want you to skip your carrot sticks or the like!

on..are you saying if we already treat ourselves like the princess we think we are, how could we share the love?
I will celebrate my small successes!
