"I know one thing I want to make after this month is over. A panini sandwich on artisan bread, with grilled or roasted chicken, and cheese." ~~ Caroline
"I'm thinking I want to keep doing this even when the month is over. I feel really good."~~ Cassie
"I feel better, too. I am amazed at how we handled the four days of Three Kids and a Funeral. We just kept going and none of us cracked up or dropped from exhaustion." ~~ Cherie
"How is the grocery money? Have you noticed a change?" ~~ Cassie
"Yes, I've noticed it doesn't fly out of my hands anymore. No more take-out, or impulse shopping makes a big difference." ~~ Cherie
"It's not hard to do this. I suppose that's because we were 80% there before we started." ~~ Tom
"I miss milk chocolate." ~~ Cherie
"It is nice to, when you're tired, just order a pizza or get take-out. But then you feel sick afterwards and wish you hadn't. It's more about being tired in the mind than body. I guess it's about changing the way you think about things." ~~ Cassie
"For me the change is in planning ahead, having some options available for those surprise moments when life goes in a different direction than expected. It's about preparation. I mean, the pioneers had to do everything from scratch all the time. It really is a mind-tranformation. To have popcorn, yogurt, and an apple for dinner is okay. It's food. It fills the belly. It's good for us. That's a new way to think." ~~ Cherie
With twelve days left to go in the Challenge, we are holding steady. The learning continues.
Amazing.
