Hello there, again. Sorry for my disappearance! (PLUS the second half of the challenge!)

So today is day 15 of the 30 Day Challenge, the day that I am giving you the second half of the challenge. I know that I have been a little out of the loop for about a week, and I apologize. Things on my end have been oober crazy whirlwinds all over the place. I barely have enough time to stop and breathe, let alone write in my blog. In the past two weeks, I have started at a new school, made the final decision in my moving process, began packing, and been at work any time that I haven't been at school. And although I may not have written about the second week of the challenge, that doesn't mean I haven't been doing it.

I have stayed true to my challenge and been pushing myself to do the challenge, no matter what the circumstances -- and boy has it been tough. I even managed to eat completely homemade meals/snacks on day 10, even with having to leave my house for school at 6 am, and not getting back home until 7:30 pm. I was able to pack breakfast, two snacks, and a lunch to bring with me. I almost caved after my last class ended at 6:30 pm and stopped at Chipotle on my way home, but I stuck it out threw my 45 minute drive and made something when I got home instead.

So although I have not been as on top of every bit of the challenge (especially writing things down and posting on my blog), I would like the take the last 15 days of the challenge to change that. What I would like to challenge myself, and all of you, to do for the next two-ish weeks is to take everything learned from the first 15 challenges and combine and improve on them.

I have decided to do this because I feel that it is very important in life to be able to organize your health and food choices on your own. Real life may become an obstacle every now and then, but if is our job to know how to assess each situation and work with it accordingly. We need to be able to balance everything in life, and learn how to do so on our own terms. And that is what I will be doing.

This will be my experimenting phase and I will make sure and keep track and record about what works, what doesn't, what I can change, what I am thinking about next, and more. So I hope that you join in, let me know what works for you, or what you think about what I am doing!

Thanks for all the support so far! I really appreciate it!!!

Happy Monday, and Happy Healthy Eating!
