alright...I admit it!

I didn't keep to my No Candy Challenge over the weekend. I ended up buying a box of chocolate covered Sugar Daddy's...cause well, they sounded fabulous. I put them in a drawer and then decided I would eat them on Oct. 5th when my challenge ended.

Well...I guess that is like an alcoholic buying a bottle of wine and saying he is only leaving it there for when guests come to the house.

Bad Shelley...bad. I ate the box on Sunday. I thought about it...talked myself out of it and then ate the candy anyways.

So, I am going to restart my candy challenge. I considered not admitting my defeat and then just going for an additional day, but I am not going to do that. I am going to be honest and say that on Day 19 I ate candy! And I am going to make it a double challenge. A double challenge?? In the next 30 days I am also not going to drink any soda...I have drank more soda in the last week than I have in a long time. So, I am going to nix candy for another 30 days...and I am going to nix soda as well.

I think in the end...this will be good. I got 19 days under my belt...AND...I also can not eat candy for the next 30 days which brings me almost all the way through the halloween candy madness!

It's now officially Day 1 for both of my challenges....and this time, my motivation and commitment is through the roof!!!
