Challenge

Today I was going to give some background as to how I began my ETL journey but that will have to wait. I am tired again tonight. I guess I need to do this earlier. Maybe I'll begin doing this in the morning. Today we have a challenge going on. Some E2L friends are doing a challenge through the holidays and I am joining in. The picture to the left is a field of "kale." Kale is king of the greens. It is the most nutritious.

Ok here is what I have decided to do. Nicole came up with this and I tweaked mine a little but it basically is close to hers. It is just a fun graph to help us continuing with E2L and enjoy it in the process.

10 - Kale -NOTHING NON E2L- 1T. Flax, 1 starch serving if desired, and take my vitamins and 1 oz of nuts and 1 oz of avocado.
9 - Broccoli - Snacked on E2L food.
8 - Eggplant - Ate something non E2L that was within the 10%.
7 - Lentil - Ate E2L except used oil, sugar, or salt in a recipe.
6 - Blueberry - eating bad non-ETL food for one meal.
5 - Potato - eating bad half the day and then turning it around, or eating well in the morning and then saying "screw it" after lunch
4 - Brown Rice - eating a good breakfast or dinner but then messing up the rest of the day
3 - Cashew - eating badly all day except for two parts of meals i.e. eating a vegetable at dinner and a piece of fruit at breakfast
2 - Cheese - eating badly all day except for one part of a meal
1 - Cookie - no ETL food

We will decide to give the money collected to a charity, that is if any of us go off the wagon. We'll see how it goes and will report on how well we all do.
