Thanksgiving Challenge

Up until around the time I started all the South Carolina work, I was doing pretty good in the being healthy department. I was eating decently and exercising fairly regularly, taking my vitamins and drinking lots of water. Then I was living out of hotels for a few months and eating nothing but fast food. Then I hurt my back and was unable to move for a few weeks, and it all went downhill from there.

Today is Halloween, which in some circles means the start of a two-month eating binge, but I'm not about to let that happen. Instead, I'm issuing myself a challenge. So, why am I posting this here? Not to bore you, my dear friends, but to hold myself to it. Making it public makes that 100 times easier.

Starting tomorrow, November 1st, I plan to spend the next 23 days on a very strict plan of eating well, exercising daily and drinking lots of water. I won't post the details here, but let's face it: trying to be healthy for 23 days is a lot easier than trying to be healthy forever. After, I allow myself a day or two for lots of my mom's dressing and my aunt's sweet potato casserole, I'll go back on a similar plan until Christmas.

Who's with me?
