day 63: challenges, challenges
I love a good challenge, and in April I’m taking part in THREE (in addition to the Bikini Birthday of course).
1) “Cut the Crap” Challenge hosted by Beth @ Dining and Dishing which runs until April 17th. I’ve adapted her challenge, and here’s what I’m doing:
- No alcohol
- No white sugar or artificial sweeteners
- More veggies and water
- Healthy choices when dining out
2) Do What You Don’t Challenge from my favourite RD, Nicole @ Prevention RD. She’s encouraging challengers to do something that they don’t normally do but should. Here’s what I’m doing:
- Floss Daily — I am terrible about flossing my teeth.
3) You’ll just have to wait until Thursday to read #3! Do I have your interests piqued?

For dinner tonight Matt and I stuck with the Italian theme that I have going this week. I made another recipe from Mario Batali’s Molto Italiano — I totally recommend this cookbook.
Risotto with Squash. . . so good.
There’s nothing better than a creamy bowl of risotto. Mmmm… now that’s comfort food.

I love this Easter basket idea. When I have a minute, I’m going to get one organized.
I’m doing #1 for the year. #2 I haven’t decided whether to join or what I’d do. Of course I’m interested in knowing #3!
I’m interested!
I joined FitDay.com and I’m sort of addicted to it now. It gives me something to obsess about apart from apartment hunting and my unemployment.
We’re doing the Easter thing on Friday here. Do you have any open time frames this weekend to accommodate a Sarah-visit?
I like the challenge # 2(I think I’m not ready for #1 yet
) 
I wonder could I do…
The article was very interesting, there were a lot of things I didn’t know. For example that so many Indian men do not like the figures of their wives, that’s terrible!
I really need to cut out the vino! I’ve really been thinking that I need some sort of challenge to do so. Thanks for the idea!
I love the idea of the blogger basket, thanks for sharing!! Flossing is definitely something you just have to make a habit…I never did as a kid, and now I’m OCD about it!! Good luck with all those challenges!
Once I had to pay $800 out of pocket for a simple dentist appointment, so now I am obsessed with flossing! I love doing challenges too, can’t wait to hear about #3!
You’ve got one healthy month planned
So glad you’re participating in the challenge…along with so many others! Can’t believe tomorrow is April already, I need to get my yoga mat dusted off 
Cut the Crap – I need to participate in that. I would say no alcohol, but I’m going to Vegas this weekend. Maybe next month
I’ve signed myself up for the “Do What You Don’t” Challenge too! I’m going to try to include more yoga and cardio in my workout plan.
