Subject: RE: Fall 12-Week No-Sugar Challenge 2009carteroak - 2009-09-01 2:23 PM On the subject of Crystal Light, I'm going to have to say that's not allowed, as it is in the same category as diet sodas, and it definitely goes against the premise of the challenge. Aspartame has been shown to have several negative effects on health, and its a good one to eliminate from your diet.
As for late entry, that's a tough one. Did either of you weigh yourselves yesterday? Have either of you broken any of the dietary rules in your meals since midnight last night? I will consider, but have mixed feelings.
Anyone else want to weigh in on this (no pun intended!)? I say let the late-comers come, but no more starting right now, and only if they give themselves dings if they accidentally cheated today (jeez...I'm a hard-nose, huh?? ) On another note...I hope everyone is having a good first day. I found a little quote in a magazine about a month ago, and today is the perfect day to use it. It was from some health magazine that I was reading at the car repair shop. "Ease your sugar intake. Look for alternative ways to bring sweetness into your life." I just love the idea of sweetness coming from other things besides food. I think I will go get a big snuggle from my 3 yo son right now!! |
