The 100 Day No Sweet Treat Challenge

New year. New tortures. I am taking on the "ultimate challenge".  Effective January 26, 2011 I am going 100 days with no cakes, cookies, pies, candy, muffins, desserts of any kind, donuts, coffee cake and chocolate. It’s a challenge I’ve always wanted to try. Either I will be able to gut it out and lose a few pounds off my waistline or I will have committed a heinous crime and be serving 10-20. Time will tell.

 

Every challenge needs an exception. With the collaboration of my fellow girl friends (also participating in this torturous motivating experiment) we devised the following exceptions:

•  Chocolate Milk (as that’s the only way to choke down my fish oil supplements that are the size of horse pills)
• Breath Mints/Gum
• Granola bars with chocolate chips
• Jello
• Waffles/Pancakes

 

Also participants are allowed three (3) exceptions, you know for dinners out when the promise of lava cake or crème brulee is on the menu.

 

Mmmm lava cake.

 

I am guardedly optimistic the challenge will be good for me. Guardedly.
