Weekly Challenge - June 12-18 Summary

June 12 - June 18, 2010

Results Summary:  7/7 - I DID IT!  I did log every bite and in the process, I lost 2 lbs.  It feels good.  See the weekly challenge page for my next challenge!


CHALLENGE:
For the next week, I will log every bite I put in my  mouth.  Thanks to What A Splurge for the inspiration.  Every bite DOES count.  Every teaspoon of sugar in my morning coffee DOES COUNT.  So   - for this week, I will log every bite that I put in my  mouth.  If I can't measure the food, I will at least right it down!
