The No Junk Food Challenge: Week and a Half Down

In case you missed it, I started doing a "No Junk Food Challenge" on November 4th. It has been really difficult! I have to really watch what I am eating because pretty much after every meal I crave some type of dessert. I realized that even though I was going to let myself have Starbucks and frozen yogurt, I tried to avoid it because I knew it was a big temptation as well. If I go to Starbucks, I am only ordering drinks like smoothies, green tea, etc. because of the insane amount of sugar in their chocolatey beverages.

I've been eating a lot of peanut butter which I am allowing myself. I find that it helps my sweet tooth to eat some peanut butter on an apple or bread.

I did have Sonic the other day because my boyfriend really wanted to go there so I did cheat on junk food. But my biggest cravings are always chocolate, cookies, candy and other sweets and I have stayed away from them!

How are you doing with the challenge? Here's a reminder of what it is all about....

The No Junk Food Challenge

Anyone else have a enormous sweet tooth? I sure do! It has been especially active since Halloween when there are goodies and treats everywhere, not to mention I've been baking a ton for various occasions. So I decided I need to give myself a challenge!

I found this on Pinterest (of course) and though it was interesting and very challenging. The only adjustments I will make is using peanut butter. I don't eat it very often, but I don't think it is that unhealthy especially since I eat it with apples or whole wheat bread. Also, if I start today this challenge won't be over on Thanksgiving and I plan to let myself indulge on that day. Lastly, I will probably allow myself sugar free frozen yogurt or Starbucks as a treat if I don't go overboard. If I find myself getting both too much, I will stop for the rest of the challenge. 

November 4-November 26 (excluding Thanksgiving)

What will be the hardest? Definitely chocolate and cookies!

The easiest? I don't normally eat fast food, chips, white bread, pastries, donuts or ice cream.

Who is joining me?!

Hair Challenge...

Me with my straight, long (boring?) hair.

So I'll admit something to all of you. I'm THAT person. As in THAT person who never does their hair any different. Day in and day out, I've been wearing my hair the same. It is down & straight. That is it. I guess it comes from my lack of hair knowledge and my years of dealing with bad hair.
My hair is super thick and prone to being a wavy, frizzy mess. I had bangs from ages 3-15. I've been getting my hair permanently straightened for years and straighten it almost daily. I'll skip days washing it just so I don't have to deal with it. My hair is so thick, ponytails and headbands usually give me a headache.

So I'm challenging myself and asking something of all of you. Give me hairstyles to try. Nothing too crazy because I am not really good with anything besides the ordinary. But I want to challenge myself to do different hairstyles each day. I will post pictures of course!
