Part of doing this challenge is getting mentally ready. One of the things I did was clean out my pantry. I threw out all the garbage. I am a baker, so I took all my decorating supplies, put it in a bin, and put them away. I am not giving up making cupcakes and cakes, but I am going to have to be very selective when I make them.
One of the hard things is going to be feeding my kids, and my husband! They like cereal, pancakes, chips, etc. I have been working on getting them all to try new things, but like me, it is not going to happen overnight. Especially with my husband. In my pantry, I put all of the good things at eye level. When I open that pantry, I want to see the good things right away. All of the cereals and chips, are on the high shelf. I know I can't get rid of all of those things...I would have WWIII on my hands! But I want my kids to see the healthy stuff first as well. I put some healthy snacks at their eye level as well, so when they are looking, they can make a better choice as well.
As of today, I have a little less than 2 weeks to go to day 1. I have not been eating on plan, but I know I have to be careful. I gain weight so easily, especially when I eat, and eat, and eat! (I know...go figure!) So I am having some pasta, ice-cream, and not so good things now, but not going too crazy. I am going to be ready for this challenge both mentally and physically. I am also trying to work in exercise. I know I need to get something in place, or started before the challenge. It will be easier if I start now.
