Week 41

No fast foods or drinks.

For some this might be a nice break from the challenges for this week because you never eat out at fast food restaurants; for others this may be a real challenge.  No stopping at Sonic or Chik-fil-a or Subway for a quick bite for you or your kids.  If this is a weekly occurrence for your family, with a bit of planning, see whether you can go the entire week without fast food.  Once you consciously do it one week, try to continue this trend, stopping for less and less fast food and drinks.  Not only with this be a health benefit for you but a money savings too.

Advanced Challenge for those who don't eat at fast food restaurants:

See if you can go a whole week without eating out at any restaurant.  Twenty-one home cooked meals from scratch that you have prepared.  If this is not something you do regularly, be sure to create a meal plan to help you succeed.  Also avoid using man-made unhealthy ingredients in your home cooked meals and instead use the best quality ingredients you can find.  There are lots of recipes to choice from under the recipe box tab. 

If you tackle this challenge(s) and succeed this week, I know that you will have a wonderful sense of success and accomplishment!
