Giving up what we don't need

Goal per member: 30 days

daily leaving something behind.

I've just gone 29 days without coffee.  A huge step for me so thought I'd increase on this.

 

For the next 30 days the challenge will be to give up something each day you do not need.  This could be additional food items...ie pastry, fried foods, fast foods etc / Could also be giving something away that we do not need ie  extra clothing, food in the pantry that is excess, stuff that's lying around.  This also could be something different each day.  Just log in and let everyone know what you gave up or away for the day.  Keep a running day total in the chart.

 

Personally I am really going to push myself.  No added table salt for 30 days.  This is very difficult since I'm the kind of person that could eat salt out of my hand. lol

 

What will you choose to give up or give away?  Let's challenge ourselves and dig a little deeper. A positive step forward....

 

Any questions?  Please send me a message.

 

Love to all,

Doll

birthday not until December. My brother and sister figured I needed a computer that worked. My lap top was a gift in Feb from my daughter just because . . . no other reason. Brother had sent it to me last fall but the cooling system crashed so I sent it back for repair. He lives in Nova Scotia so my sister is meeting me in Moncton on Aug. 7 when I fly in from Calgary from visiting with the grandchildren. God can you follow this. St_Nick has us all crazy. Debbie
Oh Debbie darling thats a very sweet offer

Horse poop now that has really made my day...except its on my list of giving up :((

you should have told me earlier....however i will consider after the 30 days...howz dat?

 

How exciting you are getting a new computer built by your bro...how sweet....something to look forward to...why August is it your birthday?

 

and St Nick...I know I work with computers too! So it would be nice to get away from it...but then i will misss you people...just sneking from my work for a few min here there keeps me going!!! and keeps me exciting :)

 

Laterz

PJ :)

St_NickSt_Nicknow that you mention it

giving up the computer for 30 days would be a challenge Tongue out.

 

and I would go out of business... I do need to limit my time on tools though...

 

I just love you guys so much

 

tea and sweets...for 30 days that's it

independantspiritindependantspiritOh Puja
What a great idea. I have a computer I can give away. Must get my brother to clean it up and find someone that has the patience to play with it. I have a new to me one coming in August (brother built it for me) and my lap top which I truly love. Is an old printer good for anything or shall I junk it. Oh I have some horse poop if you want it for your garden. Fresh coming every day. Debbie
Man O Man debbie i lost you s well :)

you guys keep me signing on to TOOLS 40 billion times today. I must say I have not had this much fun in all the challenges. this is real fun.

 

Wow Debbie thats great wish i was nearby I could have got some bargain...infact thats what i was thinking when Doll said she is getting rid of her clothes...i could start a charity shop or something :) Anybody else getting rid of anything...let me know i will flyout and get the early Bird special :)

 

I must say i have not come across such enthusiasm for anything let alone giving up things...The rate St. Nick was going...she would have givinen up her computer too.....by the end of the challenge...then what will we do???

 

....I am wondering what will happen once the challenge starts :)

 

One thing for sure i am not planning to go to DOll's for dinner for the next 30 days :)))

 

But leaving the jokes aside...i have not touched salt for atleast 2 months now...no coffee ....only light tea no sugar....have been eating way healthy(raw fruis and veg)...and I am really enjoying my life...just have to give up non vegetarian stuff....which rrrrrrr going to be tuff....I have 3 hours to decide

 

Keep going guys! No I am going to remain totally saine

 

PJ :)

 

 

independantspiritindependantspiritSorry Puj
The insanity bug bite me in the well you know where. I couldnt sew this morning I had to get rid of stuff. I cleaned out the back door closet. Took things from my closet. Gave back books that I borrowed from a friend and gave her computer paper for her daughter. I left the yard with a car load. Now the pop and bar I had because the challenge hasnt officially started. But I am counting the rest of the stuff. At least I can find a hanger to hang up my coat. I am not sure what the challenge was suppose to be but I don't need the clutter. Anyone want anything I might just have it. Debbie 
CocoCocoMy list

For next thirty days  

 

Giving up sweets/sugar and include Fruits

giving up meat and inclue more fish and veg

giving up extra sleep on the week end and do yoga

giving up fried food and take aways and go and see movies or music concerts

 giving up milk and cheese and add vegetarian spreads

giving up tea and coffe and drinking more watre and herbal teas

 

Tall order for 30 days. I am going to do all of it at once. I am eliminating 6 things and adding 6 more.

 

Wish me all the luck guys. I can I can.

 

 

DollDollmore than 30 days?

I'm giving up table salt for 30 days but once I'm used to that I will continue.  This is really hard for me so we will see.

 

If I miss a day it's no problem. lol

 

You can track whatever way works for you.  For me, I'd just like to see how many days out of 30 I can go without the salt.  WE'll see.  I''ll also be curious as to what that does to my body and how I feel. 

 

Each of us can do what we'd like.  Make this YOUR challenge.  I've just set up a couple of examples.  Make it personal and doable for you!

 

Love you all!

Doll 

 

Big Question????
ARE YOU GUYS GIVING UP THINGS FOR GOOD OR FOR ONLY 30 DAYS????
autumn mistautumn mistGREAT PREPARATION ... MARCHING ON!

CATALINA:  Glad you've found your way.  Whoops, you've got three,  you could give one back to Mr. Feliciano (Jose)Cool.

 

DOLL & ST. NICK:  "Thanks" and "Thanks" too!   WOWSA!   Hi-fidelity high.   You bet ... I've got to get a much better-sounding calculator to come up with your "computation".  Maybe, I have to join PUJA.  Rather, I'd leave it all to her and do my "gallery"Surprised.

 

Be reminded not to forget:  CLAP, SPLASH, BRUSH, SMILE ... Have a great day, folks!

 

Cheers,

Autumn MistKiss

 

 

St_NickSt_Nickwow look at all the challenge comments

 and we have not even started yet... i went back and read the challenge... as Puja suggested and I think I must have been thinking about Lent... giving up one (or two) things over over the period of time...

in that case... I am still giving up sweet tea for thirty days and will use the 30 day process to figure out whatever else I am giving up

 

thanks Puja... but believe me I will never starve, because my middle name is "eat Food"  and I tutor math so let me know if you need help... Laughing

 I'll see you all tomorrow

You guys are craking me uppppppp!

I read your comments that comes to my mail box...and I am laughing my head off!!!

 

1)Doll its a good idea to add something positive...it balances things...we are on the same page :)

 

 

2)I didn't realise I had to be good at math for this challenge.....har har grin grin

 

Doll what are you doing on the days you are skipping the challenge....getting some extra sleep???? :)....

 

And St Nick....you are completely nutts...here I am thinking of focussing on 1 item per week and you want to do 2 things a day....are these two new things??? you won't have anything to give up?? Helloooooooooo!!! I think you better follow what Doll says and add 2 good things...I don't want you to starve or Turn into a Francis of Assissie by the end of this challenge....God almighty

 

And Catalina i am having so much fun having you aorund.

 

Debbie you are the only one so far sounding sane at the mo....keep it that way...Please!!!!

 

Don't join the above lot!....i never met a bunch of people so enthusiatic for giving things up....i am getting a business idea here :)

 

I have to go and do some MATH!!! Back to kinder garden ...ta ta now...be well...won't you!

PJ :)

St_NickSt_Nickautumn mist
thanks for the landscapes
St_NickSt_Nickautumn mist
thanks for the landscapes
St_NickSt_Nickmakes since to me

and so since I am giving up two things

my day 1 should be two

day 2 =4

 

since I won't be skipping days my day 30 should be 60. RIGHT? Smile

DollDollReporting

What I am going to do is accumulative.

 

ie:  Day 1 = 1

      Day 2 = 2

 

miss day 3, and 4

 

     Day  5 = 3

 

So that at the end I will have a total of all the days I met my challenge.

 

Does this make sense? or is it clear as mud? lol

 

Looking forward to this! 

 

 

St_NickSt_Nickso how are we logging this?

I am giving up sweet tea and excuses

 

do I add a 1 for each day that I did not indulge?

 

I am also giving up more than 2hours on Tools to life

 

one hour in morning and one in the evening... Cry

independantspiritindependantspiritI started a new habit
first thing I am getting rid of if my new habit of diet pepsi and chocolate. Never liked pepsi before why now I don't know but it is going. What else I am not sure yet but will post later. Debbie
