Challenge

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.
George S. Patton 

So to prove that I am out of my fruity little mind a bit more. I have decided to propose a challenge. 

De-wad your panties, it isn't going to be super difficult (well maybe). I am just trying to make this whole eating thing a tad more accountable for me. That is my biggest issue honestly. I can exercise like a beast but then the beast wants dairy queen. Sorry Skinny Cow, but you just are no match to a blizzard. 

So the details:

For 30 days (starting tomorrow Dec.2nd) we will be accountable! 

1.Log all the tiny morsels that pass those purdy little lips. 

2.Exercise at least three times a week. 

3.Drink all that water we are supposed to.

It sounds easy but I promise that is being December this may prove difficult. Because, don't you know? December is national F*ck my health month!! It is my friends, well I made it up, but we have all done it. Gotten to January and had to start all over again. I find it tiring and frankly want to come out of the month on the upswing.

December comes and no matter what holiday you are celebrating food is involved. There are so many gatherings to attend. Each with their own deadly array of bite size heavenly death. Sure there will be that one benign tray of fruit or vegetables in the spread. Good luck finding it though. It will be next to the stacks of button popping, mouth watering, orgasm inducing delights. By the times you get to the rabbit food, you have already sampled the buffet once, OK maybe three times. 

Not to mention all the drinks. Free booze!!!! It flows like the Mississippi and sometimes just as thick. Coffee is lined with bailey's (at least in my family), Wine is spiced and eggnog is well eggnog. So even if you stay away from the drool inducing nibbles you are still at risk of drinking your calories.

Inevitably we come out of it in January like a bad one night stand. Really wishing it hadn't happened but their might be a few pictures and the scale to tell us otherwise. Plus we revert back to wanting all that sugar and carbilicious food because guess what? Just like an addict we got our fix. Now, breaking the cycle will be just as hard as when we started.

That is why I propose we challenge ourselves. Challenge ourselves to leave the month in the same size we entered. Tell December that no, our fat pants will not become our regular pants. No, we will not attend a party for just the food. No, we will get past this season and enjoy the people not what can slide down our throats.

So, to join the challenge just say yes in the comments. Then when I post, we will keep up on the progress. Tell some friends and we can get a big group of anti-fat pants fighters. I'll be keeping track on Myfitnesspal.com. My name is Julesboch so friend me *wink*. Also, feel free to chide me when I slip. I will do the same for you (yea public degrading!!! Super fun!!!).

We can do it. Now let's lead the charge!
