Another week almost complete for the February Food & Drink Challenge. I thought this week was going to be easier, far from it, it was tougher. Chuck in a serious amount of work, some stress and a cold for fun. I like the taste of coffee & tea, so in sleepy moments you think, perhaps a mug. No! I stuck the challenge, but it was tough. Especially the day when I worked sixteen hours one day and the previous day at least thirteen. However those long days and the level of productive output probably wouldn’t of been possible, if not for the challenge in the first place.
The knock on effect though has also been good, it helps motivate in other areas. At the same time we’ve still not been having items like chocolate and other food such as chips, pizza etc. Plus I’ve seriously reduced the amount of bread I eat during the challenge. Not a little bit, but a huge reduction and the challenge has made that easier.
With valentine’s day on Sunday. Even though it’s not about the food or drink at all, we’ve forward planned food & drink with the challenge in mind. My girlfriend joining in the challenge from the beginning has made a huge difference, otherwise it would of been harder. Not only for one half of a couple to take part, but also for the support she provides. I am a very luck chap.
I’ve heard back from some of the others doing their feb food & drink challenges. From amazing side benefits such as serious weight loss, better sleep to successfully sticking to the challenge or experiencing temporary hurdles. The fact that others have decided to join in, make the effort, think consciously about their food & drink, makes them stick out from the norm and is fantastic.
