Someone has aksed me to give ideas for healthier snacks; these are some of my favorites...
*Air popped popcorn (after a while you won't even be able to eat the microwave stuff anymore)
*Chips and Salsa (preferably fresh or homemade salsa)
*Edamame (these can take the place of potatoe chips - they are usually in the frozen food section - you can even find them at walmart!)
*Homemade granola - I'll send out the recipe
*Fruit leather -also known as smooshed fruit. You can buy a huge box of organic fruit strips at Costco. So good. Or make your own fruit leather.
*Homemade bread
*Smoothies
*Apples and PB, or cashew cream (recipe to come)
*Almonds, pecans
Write in your own ideas!
And I have a wheat grinder. If you want to try some recipes with whole wheat, bring it over and I'll grind it for you.

My family is doing the Challenge with me (we have a $30 Target gift card taped to the fridge as motivation). We each have a sweet tooth so it has been fun to support and encourage each other as we go. My boys are reading labels and becoming more educated. They admonish me when I forget to pack veggies in their lunches. They remind me to write in my journal. If nothing else comes of this, the vocal appreciation for each other (and me) is worth it!

I want to do this challenge because I don’t want to look like this after licking the bowl anymore! <<...>> Just kidding!) I want to do this challenge because I need to learn to live without sugar as the most consumed part of my diet! I am excited about the spiritual part of the challenge and I want to be active again! This picture was of me in college right after I was in a brownie batter fight with a friend of mine!

To become a better well rounded person physically, emotionally, and spiritually. There is always room for growth and we should take every opportunity to better ourselves which will help us more fully bless the lives of others.

I want to do this challenge because I want to be healthier. The whole point system makes it easy to stay on track. I also love that it ties in spiritual well being! Totally well rounded!

I want to walk the talk and take all of these good things we are supposed to do everyday and make them solid HABITS! Especially during the next little transition in my life. A little friendly competition as well as the group effort is a great motivator for me. Love it!

I love that this program is about wellness for everything! Food, scriptures etc…. This year I have been working at becoming a healthier me and this is the perfect next step!

One of my favorite snacks is celery stuffed with peanut butter (or almond butter). I also like lettuce roll-ups (stuff and roll with almond butter). Even my grandkids will eat those and they are super picky! They actually love them!
