Th 4Cs Challenge

A kid at work was telling me that he was going to do this 4C challenge. This would be 30 days with no chocolate, cake, cookies or candy. I knew there would be no way I could do this on  Valentines and Super Bowl so I took these days as out days. I also started a week earlier.

My assessment is that I did ok but there is room for improvement. I started out really strong. I thought it  would be cake work so to speak. Then came valentines day. I love to make valentines cookies and made a batch. This makes tons and so I took some to work. Then I took them around to neighbors and friends. The only problem was there was still many more. I ended up giving my sister and her cute kids two plates and I dumped a couple.

The easiest thing for me to resist was Candy. The worst is Chocolate. I am a chocoholic and I have known it for years. I usually have a bag of Dove chocolates in my desk. I think they subliminally called my name so that part was kind of a fail. 

The days I had fail, I tried to make my fail not so bad and then I went right back to it. I have a Facebook group I belong to called " leap into fitness" and I told them about it and my challenges. One lady told me something that made complete sense. She said basically that just because my challenge last a certain amount of time that doesn't mean I have to end it. This is so true, and I do need the work in some areas.

As I continue to challenge myself I will also add another C. Coffee, but not what you think. I will continue to drink coffee but I want to cut down the amount of blended coffees I have. I also want to cut down the amount of sugar in my coffee. I enjoy them and go to coffee with my girlfriends on Friday. I love more than the coffee, the friendship. I will work on making these types of coffees not a daily occurrence. This will save me lots of calories.
