Believe it or not, I am actually very proud of myself for completing my first challenge. I didn't consume any alcohol for 30 days!  I still can't believe I made it thru after all those phone calls from people asking me to go out on Friday and Saturday night.  But anyhow, one thing I learned from this challenge is the realization of how much freaking money I spent out partying and buying alochol in the past!  My credit card balance this past month was the lowest ever!  My beer belly is turning into a six-packs too :)

 

Although the first challenge was tough, I think this new one is going to be a lot harder for me.  To me, not eating any red meat for 30 days (and yes, that means bye bye to pork too) is like asking an Asian person not to eat any rice for 30 days. Not possible!  But hopefully with the support from my housemates, I will make it to the finish line easier.  Lastly, someone better be treating me to a nice steakhouse after I completed this challenge :)
