Hell Yeah!
I did it! I bet you are all shocked that I had the will power to complete the challenge. There were some days that I wanted to cave, but continued to hold strong.
What did I learn from the challenge? I read labels much closer and clean eating can be expensive. There are not many coupons floating around out there for fruits and veggies.
Will I change my diet forever? Sorry, but the answer is no. I love Starbucks and chips.
Will I do another challenge like this? More than likely. I’m thinking if Emilie does another challenge this fall, I may be up for it by then.
And of course, since the challenge is over, I just stumbled across this blog. Super cool. I wish I found it a week ago! J

And a medal!
How cool is that?
Can anyone guess what I'm going to do first thing tomorrow?
Wow! Thanks for linking to my blog! I hope it helps someone! Getting my mom to eat veggies took years.. I mean, just ADDING veggies to things..
ReplyDeleteHaha! Are you going to eat chips and drink coffee tomorrow?
I love chips too. I try not to buy them.. I love kettle cooke Honey dijon.. and spicy thai.. ahh..
Congrats on the BGC win! Very cool medal!
I am happy to share any awesome blogs out there and found yours to be incredible! I loved many of your recipes and will be making them for sure!
ReplyDeleteI did eat a lot of chips and went to Starbucks 1st thing in the morning. It was heavenly! I don't buy a lot of chips - because they won't last long here. Kettle Cooked Honey Dijon sounds devine! I haven't tried them yet - but I may now!!!!
Thanks for following me! :)
