A friend of mine posted a pic on Instagram of an email she received at work. The email contained a fliyer for “The 8-C Challenge”. The challenge urges participants to stay away from 8 major foods starting with C. They are:
Cookies
Chips
Chocolate
Cake
Cola (pop/soda)
Candy
Caffeine and
Cigarettes
To top it off, the challenge lasts for 14 weeks. No not days, WEEKS. From May 28th to September 3rd. Memorial Day to Labor Day.
This seems like a difficult challenge, but I’ve been thinking about it every since my friend posted in 3 days ago. I’ve decided I’m going to do it. At first I said I would just cut out the above items totally. But I decided to give myself a time limit to try it out first. I believe in having your sweets in moderation, but I want to discipline myself to not have them at all. I also know myself. I’ll say I’m gonna cut sweets out completely, only to have a cookie the next day and tell myself “in moderation”. Uh uh, I won’t be fooling me this time!!
I am going to tweak this list a little though. I don’t smoke so I’ll be replacing Cigarettes with Fried Foods. Now that’s going to be a challenge for me, because Lord knows I love me some fried chicken lol.
Throughout the next 14 weeks, I’ll check in here, probably weekly to share how my challenge is going. I may even record some videos. Either way, I’ll let you know how I’m doing.
I do need your help though. Some of you don’t know me personally, but for those who do, I need you to hold me to this. If you see me eating a cookie or whatever, call me on my s—t. Remind me of my challenge Don’t make me cry though lol.
I’ll check back with you hopefully this Sunday to let you know how it’s going!! Wish me luck!!
