24 days...

They say doing something for 30 days in a row makes it a habit.  We're at day 24 in the Fit for Christmas Challenge, hopefully on our way to making these changes a habit, too.  I've definitely had my moments of struggle.  I've eaten a bacon cheeseburger every week since we started.  I'm still struggling to give up soda.  It just tastes so darn good.  I've missed breakfast twice this week.  It's a process, for sure!

I'd love to get some more feedback from everyone on how you're doing.  What are you struggling with?  What's going well for you? Are you noticing a change?

Thought I'd share a quick recipe we found last week.  If you like shrimp, this a fabulous dish.  Lots of veggies, low calorie but TONS of flavor.  I'd recommend using olive oil or another healthier type oil to cook the veggies in, rather than the butter. There are only like 5 calories in 1 shrimp, so eating a big portion isn't so bad for you.  We served ours over a small bed of brown rice, but be careful--rice has a lot more calories than you'd think!  You could serve this over spaghetti squash and it would be just about perfect.

Enjoy!!

Weigh-in and new post coming (hopefully!) on Monday!  Enjoy the holiday weekend :)
