I think that's the key. Many days I get so hungry in the afternoon. Then I walk in the door and grab any and everything within my eyesight aka junkfood.
Been doing pretty good with the salads if I eat out. I never seem to have time to make the dressing or pack the lunch so I've been getting a salad from subway for my lunch. Not bad with fat free honey mustard. I get the grilled chicken and load it with veggies. Also incorporating more fruit for a snack instead of getting to point of starving and gorging on junk, lol.
I threw out leftover cupcakes from Mother's Day. I still have chocolate bars lingering around the house though. Some days I have so much willpower, and other days I have ZERO.
That's the downfall of eating healthy, I tend to want to snack more, lol. Or maybe I just think since I was good I can have something I shouldn't, haha. I made a lemon loaf for my hunny yesterday and sent him home with all of it because I had sticky fingers.
So yesterday I had a salad for lunch and today I was a pound lighter, lol. If only it were that easy. Gonna juice in the morning if I get time and salad for lunch. Double wammy
Keep the salads going for May???? I'm going to try and replace a meal a day with a salad or smoothie. Have to run at the moment but I like this idea, I'll be back.

Should we step on the scale tomorrow and end the challenge? I think I may have stayed the same but at least I didn't go up. Not being able to do cardio is just plain old HARD. : (

Hey Great news I actually walked slowly on the treadmill today twice. Once for 10 minutes and once for 15. Iced ankle after both times and I did OK. WOO HOO Also did pilates. I can't wait to get back to hiking out in the woods but I will settle for 50 minutes on the treadmill doing my old incline walking routine.

At the suggestions of one of our members, we are going to revisit this challenge. We originally did in August of 2010. I hope many will participate. I have edited it somewhat. OK, huddle in and let's start this off right with our weigh in and measurements. If you do not feel comfortable posting that information then don't. But please keep a personal record so you have something to look back on for all your hard work. Also, a picture says a thousand words.
Set 3 Goals or Sacrifices for the month of August (keep this visible to remind yourself) 1. 2. 3
