Boost Your Morale

The BelleToday Team CHALLENGE!

posted by gisaparedes on 25-01-2012 à 07:12

The energy on BelleToday this January has truly been inspiring and that's why we, The BelleToday team, have taken it upon ourselves to do something fun for February. We're calling it the "No Sweets Challenge" and we're putting in a prize amongst ourselves that will go to the last man standing.

For one week, we, the BelleToday Team, will stay sweet-free!

Now, I'm sure all of you know how hard that is to give up. This challenge is going to be a lot of fun! Haha!

Wish us luck! We'll be updating our blogs and of course the forum to keep you entertained.

How will we know if you are being honest?

We would really appreciate it (meaning we will keep a hawk's eye on your blogs everyday haha) if you could fill up your BT food blogs everyday. You can check Terry's blog for example. It doesn't have to be lengthy, what's impt is your diet details :)

Spread the word!

Let's make this viral, Belles! We are encouraging everyone to flood our Belletoday Facebook page with their daily challenge struggles :D and bombard our Twitter as well! Please use #belletoday and  #btchalllenge as hashtags 

 

If there are any questions or if you are in doubt if a particular food is allowed or not, please don't hesitate to ask away in this forum :)

OMG! i love the enthusiasm of the belletoday team! :) looks like we're in for a challenge next week. And maybe we'll just keep coming up with MORE as the weeks go by! It would be great to have the rest of the community join us for this and the succeeding challenges, dont you think?

posted by laarni on 01-26-2012 at 08:31 a.m.

I'm in! :) No sweets. Hmmm... I must say, I will definitely have a hard time doing this since we still have chocolates at home from the recent package I received. wah!

 

posted by sweetchange on 01-26-2012 at 04:17 a.m.

 i'll start it today :)

posted by mabc21 on 01-25-2012 at 05:19 p.m.

Ok :) I started drinking coffee with no sugar or cream since last week and so far so good. Maybe this challenge will really help me stop ordering bottomless iced tea in restaurants or even lessen my weekly Serenitea cravings. So game on! :)

 I'm in too! :))
