Meet Rachael



Name: Rachael Langston
Age: 30
Where you live: Orem, UT
What you do for a living: I hang out with Things 1, 2, and 3. I try to stay sane during the hang out.

Favorite Hobbies: 

I enjoy singing; Music has always been important to me. 
If I could, I would constantly be traveling the world. I love to meet new people and learn about different cultures.
I like reading. I love movies. 
I like figuring out how to do things (i.e. prune my own trees, fix my disposal, etc.).

Favorite Food (healthy or not): Mashed potatoes and gravy. I love turkey. Dark chocolate. Cheese. I know, I named more than one, but I really like food,

What is the hardest thing for you to keep up with in this challenge? (sleep, water, exercise, etc):
Exercise. It is hard to fit it into my schedule. I usually end up doing it once I get the baby to sleep at 10pm. 

I also really like chocolate, so the no sugar/sweets rule isn't my favorite, bu it's good for me. I had never given up sweets before these challenges. I will say that it's easier to have none than to say I'll just have a little and stick to that.

Which is the easiest thing for you to keep up with in this challenge? Any tips you'd like to share? 
The free exercise point on Sunday is the easiest. 
2nd place- Drinking the water. Anytime I get the munchies I try to drink a glass of water first. I also keep a large cup by the kitchen sink so I can monitor my ounces. 

Sometimes I mindlessly lose a point because of bad habits, but each of the rules is getting easier the longer I do it. During my first challenge I had a REALLY hard time not eating junk food after 8pm. Now it is easier; I don't sit and think about the junk food. I try to think about all the benefits I am getting from the healthier choices.

  1. Is now a good time to mention that I forgot that Sunday was a free exercise point and I've been docking myself that point the whole time???

  2. Poor Paige! It's a good thing Rachael mentioned the free Sunday point so you can take advantage of it for the next 3 Sundays!
