The OTB challenge came at the right time for me.  I’ve spent the last several weeks getting ready to move, moving, and dealing with the aftermath of moving.  This makes eating well and exercising very difficult, so I’m glad to have had something keeping me out of the drive-thru lane and on the straight and narrow.

Easiest challenge?  That’s probably the most difficult one for me to choose.  I suppose the one that took the least amount of effort was the Stonyfield Know Your Food Test, since all I had to do was a little googling.  I didn’t even have to get up out of my chair, and had already purchased the steak I researched before it was even announced. 

The hardest?  That’s the easiest one for me to choose.  Without a doubt, it’s the  Don’t Pour Some Sugar on Me Test.  That one was tough, not only because I am an unabashed sweet tooth, but also because I have no desire to change this.  Ultimately, though, if a challenge was easy, it wouldn’t be a challenge.  And, if nothing else, it got me thinking about my sugar intake.  I’m even making an effort to eating only one real dessert a day — lunch is followed up with fruit instead of a baked good.  We’ll see how long that lasts.

I’m a little disappointed the Outside the Box Challenge is coming to an end.  I hope to embark on a new one soon. 

And since I’ve never formally introduced myself, I’ll end by saying my real name is Sarah, I live on the Connecticut shoreline, and I’ve been a runner for 20 years.
