Thread: September Month-Long Challenge

I decided that the 100 day challenge is not for me at this point in time, but a month-long challenge would work really well.

So, beginning Monday I'm starting a challenge. My personal challenge is to eat nothing but low carb for the entire month, and to be more aware of portion size.

Anyone out there is welcome to join me in this challenge. Of course, your personal challenge may be quite different from mine, but together we can help keep each other in focus and on track.

Oh I'm all for a September challenge. My goal is to:

1. Stay low carb all month (except my birthday ).
2. Exercise 5 days a week.
3. Cheer everyone else on with their goals.

I'm really glad to have so much company on this challenge! So, Monday we'll all come here for lots of encouragement.

Y'all have some really good personal challenges.

Yes, it will be fun to have other people rooting us along!!!

Good morning, all, and welcome to the September Challenge!

I got to sleep late this morning, and started my day with the old standby OMM, made with half flaxseed meal and half almond meal, and I put a tiny bit of sf blackberry preserves on top. And this morning we're having regular coffee instead of decaf.

No food plans for the rest of the day. One meal might be as simple as sausage and eggs. Or maybe bacon, if I remember to take some out of the freezer!

Good morning!! It's Day #2. While I stayed low carb, I did not get my exercising started. I'm battling some depression and just didn't feel like it, though I know I would have felt better.

How is everyone else doing???

Day 2, and busy! And tomorrow will be worse! Didn't feel like eating breakfast, actually felt nauseated, and had a light lunch. Now I'm ravenous. Can't wait to get home for supper!

Day 3. Another breakfastless day. Overslept! Rushed to work with only a cup of decaf.

Lunch was smoked sausage and brisket and a roma tomato. Was still hungry, so I grabbed an Atkins bar, which I seldom eat. Just needed something else that would fit in my purse to bring back to work. Should have grabbed a string cheese instead!

Tonight will be eggs in one form or another. Probably with bacon!

Nicola, I don't usually skip breakfast, but some mornings when I'm feeling a bit woozy, I just can't eat. I do keep some protein powder at the office, so if I need something, I can shake up a quick drink.

Yesterday wasn't too bad. I did decide to add some yogurt to my diet. I found greek yogurt at WalMart, first time I've ever seen it there, so I bought some, and I'm delighted with it. I want to keep my intestinal flora in good working order, so I'll try to have a bit of yogurt every day. Plain, without a lot of stuff added.
