This is Day 4 of our 21-Day Food Challenge (21DC)  and I hope you didn’t “cheat” yet because you’ll probably need that “cheat” this weekend. Holidays are tough to try to eat healthy through. So, my advice to you is to be “good” all the way until any Labor Day celebration meals you may have planned, then allow yourself your “cheat” for the week. Have a dessert.  Allow yourself a drink you’ve been staying away from.  Eat a cookie.  But try not to overdo it though and make sure you do issue out a consequence and take responsibility for it.

I do hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. I know my family and I will be busy as it’s my daughter’s 10th birthday on Labor Day. Special occasions like this remind me that there is more to life than softball (although it may not feel like it at times). It definitely important to take a break and enjoy family and friends and time off. Breaks can help refresh your mind, body, and spirit. So I hope you give yourself a break this weekend and enjoy life (but be responsible ).

Have a good one!
