THE CHALLENGE

The Jensen Health Challenge consists of several categories: Weight Loss, 3x a Week Work Out, 5x a Week Work Out, Sugar Once a Week, Sugar Once Bi-weekly, Sugar Once a Month, No Sugar 'til Reunion, 5k Fun Run (1 mile run/walk for kids), and Kick a Habit. Find a challenge you can stick with until the reunion. The purpose of this blog is for accountability and support. We all want to see each other succeed and make healthy life choices. Hopefully this will be a way to do that while having fun and getting prizes at the end! Obviously some contests afford only one top dog, such as weight loss, but others can have as many prizes as there are people to complete the challenge! All the children who complete the fun run/walk will receive a prize as well. Nicole is working out how much prizes will cost, and we can just split the cost between all of us. Sorry, funds allow only one prize per person. We hope everyone will stick to a challenge until the reunion. Here's to healthier lives!

Sugar Free Syrup

For those just trying to cut excess sugar from their diets in general, you can still enjoy syrup! Regular syrup has anywhere from 28-33 grams of sugar per serving. Experts recommend limiting excess sugars to 40 grams per day, so if you have something with syrup on it for breakfast you've almost hit your limit. I tried reduced sugar syrup, but thought it was completely disgusting. Recently I bought sugar free syrup and although it tastes just a little differently than regular syrup, it is still enjoyable and the I don't feel guilty pouring some on my whole wheat pancakes!
