Hello and happy Monday! I started my day with a 7 mile run. Goal: Next time I do this route I’m going to do it under an hour!
I used the last of my Pineapple Cottage Cheese as the base of breakfast.Oddly, it says there are 4 servings in this container. My math must be off because this is only #2 for me
I filled it up with cereal, chia seeds, soy milk and PB. So good.
Yesterday at our Feaster Party about 6 of my relatives were talking about how they wanted to lose weight. We cooked up an idea for “The Smallest Mexican” – a friendly wager to help motivate everyone to their weight loss goals. We weighed in yesterday and the person to lose the most weight in 6 weeks wins the jackpot ($20 from each person).
Monday Mini-Goals:
1. Stick to my meals/snacks = no random eating
2. Stretch
3. Get organized – emails, papers, bills

Question: What’s your favorite holiday candy?
I love Reese’s anything – eggs, Christmas trees, hearts – I’ll take it!
Amber K says
Well I’m the opposite of everyone else, because while I do agree that the peanut butter in the holiday Reese’s is different, I find it to be different in a very bad way. I would much rather have an original Reese’s! In fact, I know it’s different because regular Reese’s are gluten-free and at least some of the holiday ones have wheat added! Boo!
For Easter I love jelly beans, except when I get the dreaded sour apple. Blech.
Kristi says
Good luck with your challenge (even though I don’t think you need to lose any weight:)!
Reese’s eggs are my favorite.
Anne @thefitbridesmaid says
A girl after my own heart. I just had two Reese’s eggs for dinner. So good!
Amy says
Reese’s = yum. But I am CONVINCED that the peanut butter in the holiday Reese’s (eggs, trees, hearts) taste way BETTER than regular ol Reese’s!
runeatrepeat says
Now I want to do a side by side comparison 🙂
Holley @ Lunges and Lashes says
Love the challenge with the family! Super great way to motivate each other. $20 from each person adds up, I love this idea! You could get some sweet new clothes with that. 😉
hippierunner says
Good luck with the challenge! I love Peeps. Not the kind dipped or covered in chocolate though, that just doesn’t work. :/
Meg says
If it has sugar, it’s my favorite! No really, I’d pick peanut M&Ms every day of the week. Peanuts are good protein and therefore, make them healthy, right? 😉
runeatrepeat says
Love peanut M&Ms!
Taylor says
My family once started a challenge like this before we went to Mexico. However I was already on my own weight loss track. The whole challenge kind of got forgotten about until after our trip to Mexico when my grandpa sent me a letter with a “prize” $100 for being the weight loss winner (even though I was just losing weight before the challenge for myself). It was an awesome surprise.
cindylu says
My family did something like that, but I opted out. Wouldn’t it make more sense to go off percentage? Especially if the challenge includes men and women?
runeatrepeat says
The challenge is all women, and we’re all fairly close in numbers so we’re just doing it by weight.
Blair @ Healthy Quirks says
I’m going to go with Reese’s.
Jen says
Chocolate and peanut butter works for me, in any form!
Taylor @ Delish World says
I think all Reese’s taste better in shape form. And wow…I’ve said if before but I’ll say it again…you are one speedy sister!
Katie says
My favorite candy of all time is Cadbury mini eggs…not the mini creme eggs but the ones that are just plain chocolate. I’ve been obsessed since childhood and have been eating way too many since they re-emerged back in February!
I love the smallest Mexican idea…are you doing it based on percentage of body weight lost or straight up pounds?
runeatrepeat says
We’re doing it based on weight because everyone is so close in pounds and it’s all females.
alison says
It’s so hard to just pick one. I love jelly beans and Cadbury mini eggs. I have to buy the small little packs, because an open big bag of them, while more economical, is never a good idea.
Good luck in your family contest!
Running Girl says
I like it all. I’m a huge Easter fan, because I love jelly beans. 🙂
PB Addict says
The Cadbury mini eggs are my fave easter candy! I don’t celebrate easter but I still get so much chocolate around this time – it’s awesome for a choco-holic like me.
Lisa says
Easter candy is so hard to avoid. It’s at work too…the pastel M& M’s, the Butterfinger eggs…YUM!
Evan Thomas says
I love anything chocolate: Chocolate and peanut butter, chocolate and caramel, chocolate and raspberry, etc. I used to love Whoppers before being gluten-free. I miss them.
Lauren @ Hungry Dancer says
HAHA! The smallest mexican!! That’s a really fun idea, the mexicans in my family need to make our own challenge!
Stacey (Being Stacey) says
Reece’s rock my world! Unfortunately, it’s pretty much impossible to come across even the peanut butter cups here in the UK. For some crazy reason we just don’t seem to understand the delciousness that is peanut butter+chocolate! Madness!
