Giveaway #2 for this week!

There's a story behind this one, and the short of it is that Trisha always ends up doing all the giveaways because I constantly drop the ball!  I had something up my sleeve for this week, and it's just not coming together, so I'm taking the easy way out.  A gift card!  Not so bad though, huh? 

The winner of this giveaway will have their choice of a $10 gift card to Bath & Body Works, Old Navy, or Gap.  Treat yourself to some body pampering for all your hard work, or to some new digs to fit a body that may have lost a couple pounds during the challenge.

I believe we are drawing for our 2 giveaways tomorrow.  The rules are simple - to be eligible, you must have received a minimum of 60 point last week (week #2).  Simple as that!

A little bit about Maria:

"Maria Sauerbrei is the owner and creative mind behind Candy Kisses Crochet. She lives in Phoenix with her husband and three daughters and has been crocheting for 10 years. Candy Kisses Crochet was started in July 2011 when Maria decided to use her crocheting skills to make herself some photography props and accessories for her photography business. When friends and family saw her adorable creations they all wanted some and began telling their friends about her. After a couple of months of non-stop crocheting, Candy Kisses Crochet was born.

No Sugar


Just checking in to see how the "No Sugar" rule is going for you all.
If you have done this challenge before or cut out sugar in the past my guess is that each time you do it you find it easier and the sugar withdrawals to be less prevalent.

A few years ago I went off sugar for about 6 months straight as part of a weight loss journey. I couldn't believe how easy it became to say no to sugar as time went by and that the cravings were gone BUT I was also disappointed to find how QUICKLY the cravings came back once I decided to break my no sugar streak and indulge in some chocolate.

I was thinking about that today as I was coming off of a Free Day yesterday, I found myself grabbing for something sweet and then catching myself just in time. I seem to only have this problem THE DAY AFTER I have just had a free day. Anyone else know what I am talking about?

But what I love about that is it is a reminder to me of why exactly I cut sugar out in the first place...it is addicting, and once I start, well....I just cant stop. It is easier for me to just not have that first bite at all, then to just have one bite and be done with it.
I'm a bit of an all or nothing kind of girl!


Speaking of NO SUGAR, I read a really great article today on the benefits of cutting sugar out of your diet...

A Giveaway!!!


We are excited to announce a really fun giveaway!
Winnie (a fellow challenge participant) with Shelf Reliance has donated this awesome giveaway to help you earn your fruit and veggie point...

1 lucky participant will win a pantry can of Freeze-Dried Green Beans and a pouch of Freeze-dried Mangoes. YUM!!
Dont those look delicious? And from personal experience their stuff is really tasty, I LOVE the pineapple chunks!

Here's a little fun information about Winnie and Shelf Reliance:

"I'm a full-time mother of four active young kids and wife to a busy radiology resident; Part time consultant for Shelf Reliance.
Reason for joining Shelf Reliance: It is a perfect fit. Like any mother, I care for my family and look after their well being. Food storage is something that I've always known was important, but did not know where to start. All the options looked so bland and tasteless. With Shelf Reliance, I had a tasty food storage that my family would eat and even ask to eat! I have to literally hide the Thrive freeze dried pineapples and mangoes from my husband and kids.
I made my life easier because it saves time, money and I know it is very healthy for my family. It was so easy to use: no more washing, chopping, or browning meat! No more "What should I cook for dinner" stress or last minute trips to the grocery store for an egg, some shortening or another forgotten ingredient. Less trips to the fast food restaurant b/c I know I had food in my cupboard to make a simple dish. THRIVE has solved my problems.

Check out my website: www.shelfreliance.com/thriving360

Food Demo and Free Samples this Saturday February, 18th 9:30-11am (If you interested please email me at thriving360@gmail.com, I'll give you my address)
I will be demonstrating how to make breakfast foods using only THRIVE ingredients and sharing some other samples.
There will be a drawing for those that come between 9:30-9:45am"

As a thank you for checking out my website, 4 Week Challengers can have an additional 15% percent off subtotal for the duration of the challenge, contact Winnie at thriving360@gmail.com if you are interested in taking advantage of this generous offer!!
