Wildcard: Week 11

How is it going with the no sugar?  I am finding it easier to refrain, even when watching the donuts being made in Krispy Kreme with my children.  What I like most about it is feeling like the master over my tastebuds and eating habits again.  Continuing this week with no sugar, you may earn 8 points each day.  If you wish to take a treat day this week leave a comment telling us your favorite quote.

For the wildcard this week you will be required to spend at least 15 minutes each day enjoying and appreciating the great outdoors.  This means deliberately going outside to breathe deep, look around, and notice things you usually don't see.  Notice the beauty around you and see how it affects you.  Looking back on your day and realizing that you were outside for 10 minutes does not count.  I'm looking for a very puprposeful trip out of doors!

Have a wonderful week.  Thank you for staying with me this far and please if you have suggestions about how I can be doing a better job of leading this please let me know!

Wildcard: Week 10

We are in the home stretch!
For week ten your challenge {should you choose to accept it}  Is NO MURMERING.  No complaining or whining.
One of the greatest {and most difficult} lessons I continue to re-learn in my life is that happiness is a choice.  This week think about choosing happiness by not complaining about the circumstances or challenges we find ourselves in.  I know this will be tough for me but I also know it will bring blessings.
Remember also that the no sugar challenge continues this week, giving you a possible of 8 points to earn per day.  If you choose to take a treat day this week then comment here telling us something that you do to choose happiness.
Choose Happiness, and have a great week!

Week 9: Wildcard

Here goes:

For the wildcard this week you will be required to eat NO REFINED SUGAR.  I know, it's a big one, but it will be good for all of us!  By no sugar I mean:  no sweets, no treats, no candy, no baked goods.  If you usually have brown sugar on your oatmeal use honey instead.  If you usually use hot cocoa mix try it instead with a little cream in your water and some fat free sugar free chocolate syrup.  You get the idea.  This is a daily thing so if you slip up one day just try again the next!
As an option this week you may take one day where rather than no sugar you have one serving size of a treat instead.  Should you chose to do that you need to also post here and tell us your best health tip -- anything that you think may help someone else! This option is for one day only this week, then the other six days would be without sugar.  Does that make sense?  If you have questions please let me know.
ALSO
this wild card will continue to run for the duration of the challenge.  This means that for week 10, 11 and 12 there will be 8 points per day rather than 7.  For those upcoming three weeks I will post another wildcard AND this will continue to run as well.

GIVEAWAY:
I will do a random drawing at the end of the week for anyone who posts their points for all seven days. It will be a gift card to a restaurant.  So make sure you log your points and eat those fruits and veggies!
Thanks for sticking with me this far and have a wonderful week !
