It's Not About the Calories....

Hi Healthy Chasers,

We're going to take a break from the traditional blog post to ask you to share some of the things you have liked or disliked about the challenge so far. We will be adding in the component of exercise starting this coming Monday since you have all had a chance to focus on just the Meal Plan for the first two weeks.

Are you bored with your food choices already? What have you done to keep things interesting food-wise? Have there been temptations along the way? Is there someway you prepare either mentally or physically when you have these temptations or food challenges? Does anyone feel like they are getting more used to eating this way? Have you started to notice that your body does not crave the sugar/salt/starch? Are you feeling more energetic? Sleeping better? Change in mood? Post thoughts and observations to comments.

I started this "meal plan" last June just at the beginning of the season of graduation parties, weddings, cookouts, etc. so planning my meals around all of these festivities was quite a challenge. Thankfully, I was able to plan my strategies and make choices that helped me stick to the meal guide for the most part.

Also, to go along with the article Jillian posted in her Twinkie Tweet this AM, here is something else you might find interesting: It's Not about the Calories. 

 Yours in good health,
Elizabeth
