My challenge for this month is to O five times a week, and drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. You get an extra smiley face or sticker if you drink your water.

Will you join me?

Sharon

Ok Sharon, I'll do this one too since I got myself to do "O" today, mentally I should be able to continue into Sept. Water, you bet cha!

Until next time...

thanks for your help,
amber

Hi Amber,
First a great big welcome to the board. I don't know the answer to your question, but someone else probably will. What you wrote, makes sense to me.

Please join us on the D2L board. It's under the 2nd blue section called Daily Support and Accountability. Simply click on the right where it says Last Topic. There are quite a few of us, who are there almost everyday. D2L stands for determined to lose. When I was first told about it, I kept looking for D2L and couldn't find it. LOL

Glad to have you joining the challenge.

Sharon

Thanks for the challenge, Sharon. I'll try to join in. I really fell off the wagon for the last half of August, so I'll try to stick with it this time.

Amber, I haven't had experience with emotional detox, but I've heard of it. I hope that you find it very beneficial to ride it out. I have problems with too much yeast in my body, and that causes a lot of emotional upheaval, as well as keeping me from losing weight and keeping it off. You might have that checked by a naturopathic practitioner, because it's very prevalent but few people realize it. I've just been trying to fight it by myself, and not having such great results, but I know some who have gotten help and feel so much better.

I'm trying to be much more careful how much I eat this month, also. I think it's so easy to just slip in a few extra calories without realizing it! I bought enough fresh produce over the weekend that my nose should start twitching!

Susanna

Me too. I am up on the wagon again. I had a really bad cold and sore throat last week and had to lay off, but I at least walked 3 miles every day this week, except today.
