Starting September 1, I will not be eating any desserts or junk food. My motivation is looking good for the trip to Mexico in October. I do tend to eat mostly healthy foods at home but I also have weaknesses. Mine is chips, and having a small sweet thing after lunch. I have noticed lately that although i haven't gained any weight in the past year, i am looking more fat than fit. Those once toned areas from my strict diet and exercise regimen last year have now reverted to a softer state. And so on with the challenge!! Of course, there will be some rules and exceptions. Better to lay them out now before the challenge begins!
RULES:
no obvious desserts (ice cream, chocolate, cookies, pie, etc.) allowed
no chips of any kind, even veggie chips
no candy
no chocolate
no fast food (burgers, fries)
no pop
EXCEPTIONS:
raw fruit desserts are allowed, also cooked fruit if no sugar was added
healthy fast food is allowed (ie. sandwiches, salads)
healthy dips are allowed ie. hummus, baba ganoush
sweetened tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are allowed but limited to 2 servings per day
I have already removed most of the "temptations" from the cupboards and will be sending them off to the basement when i get home. On the next grocery store trip i make, i will be sure to stock up on healthy snacks just in case. I always keep track of my food intake on Sparkpeople and i am VERY honest. We'll see how I do on this challenge!
