That was something that surprised me when I did the challenge first time around. I thought I'd be hungry but I just wasn't, not at all. After chomping through all the greenery (and red, yellow and orangery lol) I'd not even need an afternoon snack - most unlike me!
I've kept up with the drinking at least 2litres too, even after the challenge finished for me, as the benefits are just so good and you DO get used to it, honestly.
I had a sandwich for lunch yesterday and I'd had a roll for lunch the day before... but I actually missed my salads so today I had this.

Quorn peppered steak and yes... salad! Really enjoyed it too.

Thanks for sharing with everyone L, your salad looks super delish and I'm glad your still taking the good elements from the challenge forward even though your not on it this week, your truly inspiring ! Well done hun !

Hi everyone :wavey:,

Just a quick update from me. I will be running 2 challenges every year for 6 months. The Salad Challenge will run from April to Sept in the summer months and The Soup Challenge will run from October to March, in the winter months.

I am currently updating The Soup Challenge thread (the old one I have asked the mods to close down). The new one will go live from W/B Mon 29th September. The last week for The Salad Challenge will be 22nd September 2014. Only one more month of salad munching folks ! I look forward to you all joining me on The Soup Challenge in a months time .

I had a fantastic result at my official SW weigh in yesterday.
Details are in my diary which is in my signature.

I encourage anyone needing a shake up inspiration or a kick up the backside try it for a week and see how you get on.

Hi.
Sorry I'm late.

I think I should record today as a holiday.

I was fine until I got home to my mum deciding as it was her birthday we were having a family meal. So she picked a pub with nothing healthy on the menu.

I had steak with grilled mushrooms and tomatoes with chips. (No starter or pudding ) left half the chips.

Oh and there was no cake as mum doesn't like it and is allergic to nuts. Drove so I had diet coke to minimise the damage. Lol

Hi Kay, think I'm going to give the salad challenge a go next week. I need more red days in my life and the challenges really help me incorporate them (plus it gives me an excuse to make a meatza!) I'm also really looking forward to the soup challenge again in October and I'm excited to see what changes you've made to it!

Yay ! I was just about to post up the list of names for next week, I'm starting next week too . Looking forward to doing the challenge together, woohoo ! Also everyone gets one day off in the week, if you have any planned days out, just let me know nearer the time and I will make adjustments accordingly for you. Yep I think in October when the clocks go back we will have perfect soup weather !
