Not sure if this is considered motivation but I just wanted to know what all of you are planning on doing after all of this is over?
Don't feel embarrassed to say that you are going to go right back to your old ways if that's what you'll do. Maybe some of you will return to the old habits just not in the same full force way as before. I don't think that many of you will become addicted to Diet Coke again. I do think that the no sugar crew will eventually, gradually add in the occasional sweet treat which is wonderful and okay. I guess I should stop assuming and ask again, what will you do? I wanna know. There is no wrong answer here so be honest.

the latest and greatest challenge
100 PUSHUPS
Yesterday's Initial Test:
http://hundredpushups.com/test.html
16
Kinda pathetic but at least it's not less.
This means that tomorrow I'm supposed to start with column 3 but I'm not gonna. I'm going to eaaaaase into it and start with column 2.
Day 1 of Week 1
Today was easy, mostly because I've chosen to stick with the middle column even though I did enough to qualify for the most challenging column.
I was able to bang out all of the push-ups in about 3 minutes rather than spacing them out a bunch. I also did 14 push-ups for my max out at the end. Those felt good. :)
I still feel comfortable with my choice to go easier. I think this will give me a better chance at success by keeping me from burning out on the program too quickly. How'd you do? ;)
Day 2
My second day should have landed on Sunday but I don't like working out on Sunday and I was zonked on that day. I completed day 2 late last night and it was hard.
For my last set, the max out set, I only eeked out 10. I don't know if it was because it was late or what but boy, rough go last night.
Hopefully Wednesday will be better.

Day 17: Success! To be honest I'm afraid to have sugar again. Afraid of going back to my old ways. I'm going to keep the no sugar/treats up as long as I can. Especially through the summer where it seems to be easier because it's hot and there are plenty of fruits in season to choose from. I also hope that then it will really just be how I (and my family) eat. This has been a great challenge!
Day 17: success! I was just talking to the boy toy about this 10 minutes ago. I think it'll be pretty easy to give up the soda for good. I go back and forth with what I'm going to do after the 21 days of no sweets though. Days like today where I had no cravings for sweets I think "I could do this forever." then there are days like yesterday where I think about sweets all day long and think of every thing I'm going to eat when I'm done!
I'm in love with how much better I feel though so I think I'll keep it up, no sweets I mean, until at least after my Triathlon on the 22nd. Then go from there ;)
Day 17: Success. I'm definitely planning on keeping pretty close to the original, but not quite so hard core. I LOVE being able to say "no thanks." It's seriously empowering. Today there was a catered hot breakfast at school with muffins, danishes, french toast, eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage...you name it. It felt awesome--cocky even--to say no to ALL of it. Because I literally couldn't eat any of it. And you know what? I didn't WANT to eat any of it. Later that day my best friend at school had a stomach ache from everything she ate that morning. And me? I felt amazing.
I don't think I'd trade my tight arse right now for any mediocre sausage sitting in a warming tray. But I love your philosophy of asking yourself how rare something is. I mean, I would never pass up a chocolate crossaint at a corner bakery in France. I am in love with being a dessert snob extraordinaire. So thanks for the little challenge.
For me, this exercise was a lot about gaining control. You know what I mean? Sometimes I just get the munchies and I almost feel like THEY control ME - not the other way around! I think I can keep up on the no fried foods. I think I will have an occasional sweet treat - but I love that I have my control back! As for bread, well, I think that's a no brainer. I love bread, but I think that it is something that I will eat less frequently, but will, indeed, eat it!
Um...I'm officially declaring Lindsay Gunnell a human robot! Jeez! What a woman. There is no way on God's green earth I could be as hardcore as her! Wow. We all know who is winning the AyAyAy clothing! ;)
Day 16: I said no to Dulce de Leche cake. Give me a shout out, baby! :) See, I CAN say NO! :)
Day 17: Um, yeah. So remember how i have selective memory? Jason is on call and so Lois and I decided to head to the mall to play on the playground. I was starving since I hadn't really eaten that day so I was like, "A sandwich - what a healthy alternative to fried chinese food or pizza?" And then I bought a dang sandwich from Subway and had eaten almost all of it when I realized i was eating BREAD! Holy schniky! For reals. What's my deal? Why do I remember things AFTER they have gone in my mouth? Anyway, I still consider it a successful day even though I won't get counted for it. A healthier sandwich over fatty chinese food or pizza? I think it was a good choice!
Ive been extremely busy so i havent reported. What day are we on? Im not sure but all I know is I havent had one sweet treat since April 19th when we started.
As for your question, I have thought a lot about what I will do come Monday and I am scared to be honest! My plan is to only have sweets when its a special occasion. Like once a month or less. This challange has helped me realize I am capable of that! I just hope I dont gradually go back to my sugar-a-holic self.
Day 18: Success! Yummy pineapple from Costco was my treat for the evening. :)
Day 18: Success! At the beginning of this the 1 oz. of dark chocolate that I could have per week was my savior. Tonight I remembered that I could have some if I wanted. But I didn't even want it. So I am really starting to believe that doing something for 21 days can make a new habit. That is so cool.
Day 18: was a success!
