Temptations & Accountability

Day 8 - January 8, 2012

Buffalo chicken dip with tortilla chips, pizza bread with broccoli, ham and cheese, chocolate cake, candied pecans, onion dip, wine, apple-tinis, and more. These are all of the foods that were spread out in front of me last night. So many delicious delicious temptations. Luckily John and I had made bacon wrapped dates and I put together a fresh veggie platter and included guacamole as an option. I certainly wish there had been more, but I stayed strong. How? Because I knew I'd have to write down what I ate. And I knew people would see it. And I didn't want that. One of the best part of this challenge is the incredible community and support network that's grown between the participants. Recipe sharing, advice, nutrition information and plain old sanity support are certainly making this the best challenge I've ever been involved in. Everyone is really working together even though there are big prizes at stake. Just one more thing that makes the ACF/CCP community so amazing.
