Who's got a New Year challenge planned for themselves?

I'm thinking of a one-week "no junk food" challenge for myself.

As anyone that knows me is well aware, I'm not super strict, but I do try to keep the junkier fare in check at least a bit. Lately, that hasn't been the case though. To say the least. lmao

So, I'm looking at a 5-7 day period without any of my beloved Snickers bars, pizza (Yeah...I'm including that too HAHA!), etc.
Hopefully to reign myself in and at least get it back in check to where I was before.

My New Years Resolution.

Crush my enemies, see them driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women...and maybe drop 8 lbs.

Good luck and Happy New Year, Conan. Laugh

I actually know someone on another board that uses that line as his sig. Minus the 8lbs. thing, that is. LOL

Wow, Dan, it's a good thing you didn't say 'the open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair'. Then you'd be open to a real mocking.

I, for once, don't have a new years challenge, except to just keep doing what I'm doing. My goals are not really body/food related, this year.

Well, that's just one of the things on my list. (Yeah, I have a list. lol)
I'm always "just about there" and then I kinda stop giving a shit, so this time around I really want to make a concerted effort to stick with it. Even if I ease off the throttle, I don't want to give myself free reign to do whatever the fuck I want with my diet.
I like to enjoy shit, but there's a fine line between enjoyment and gluttony. haha

And Red,

It's this humble ape's opinion that you have a slammin' bod and don't need to worry on that front at all.

Sexy bitch. Yup

Yes, I'm sure Andy will adore that. Laugh

I'll have to get one of the ladies here to leave him one, too, so he doesn't feel left out.

I have to say I agree with Simian, and not because I'm being all girly supportive. Different types of bodies look perfect with different levels of bodyfat and your level is "perfect" imo.

I have lots of goals
On the decluttering organization homefront, I want to run an efficient home and make things simple

I need to get out of the apartment and start a life (albeit tiny, like a few hours of week) of my own away from the babies!! It all starts with German classes in Feb.

Um yeah.. lose the pregnancy weight. Like all of it - or as low as it will get while still nursing, since that will be going on for a couple more years.

The egging was pushed aside a little, but I enjoyed it so I'm egging January

Is it arrogant to say we enjoy hearing it?

I thought of a diet-related new year's resolution! No sweeteners. I honestly believe that sweeteners, whether they're caloric or not, trigger an insulin response in sensitive people and I'm pretty sure I'm one of them. Plus, they keep you dependent on a sweet taste, which is pretty stupid if you're trying to eat like a carnivore. You really do stop craving sweets if you stop exposing yourself to them.

I don't have sweeteners every day, I never drink diet pop, and, even when I did have sweeteners, it would just be a drop or two of stevia in a coffee here and there, or some splenda in whipped cream, but I'm not going to do that anymore. I find that I would sometimes keep eating past being full, knowing that I had that sweet treat coming. I've already given them up for 3 days, but I don't plan on starting again. I find actually, I've been having more carbs than usual in the past 3 days (a little cup of sheep's yogurt and some 18% cream in my coffee, which is about 1 g carb per tablespoon) and I'm not putting on weight like I usually would. I think it's the lack of sweeteners.

I'd pick cream and yogurt over sweets any day of the week, anyway. Yup

This is why I laugh when my co-workers (especially the ones who have only known me since being a normal weight) are constantly trying to get me to eat 'bad' things. Just a taste! Come on - loosen up! The whole 'you don't need to diet' thing. Once you've been fat - that's it. You're on a diet for life, unless you want to be fat again. It took me years to lose the weight, but I bet I could gain it back in as little as 4 months if I went back to eating like I used to.

I lost 50 lbs and kept it off for years until I got pregnant and loosened up the diet. Holy SHIT did it come back on with lightening speed.. and then some.
