One Pop

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Well I made the challenge (no pop for 2 weeks)  it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.  Last night, being Friday, I had a treat – cheezies and a pop.  Really didn’t do too much for me (diet coke/no caffeine)  So I think I will continue on “no pop”.  Water suits me just fine.  Also I didn’t need the cheezies but I had been so good lately I thought I would splurge.  I had an IceCap also.  Ears a buzzing, so I will forgo that also.

I realized that I don’t need the junk food, don’t really miss it and if I crave chocolate once in awhile I will buy a chocolate bar, enjoy it and then go back to water.  I’m ot losing weight but not gaining either.  I tried once health snack and it tasted like cardboard.  I am crocheting while watching T.V. during the day but night time – where I am sitting, the light bothers hubby.  Sometimes, I go back to my computer room and watch a movie.  Changing lifestyle, isn’t hard, once you put your mind to it.  I want to increase my area of walking, but still pretty slippery outside first think in the morning, so still us the same old route.  Weather warming up, so will try to increase circumference.  Big word first thing in the morning.  This week I have lots to do for the Auxiliary so will concentrate on doing that – don’t have time to snack.  Walk the dog, feed the husband and prepare AGM.  Tried GeoCaching but too much snow in some of the caches – so I will wait until later in the spring to start looking. 

Well that’s it for me today – reading Daniel Steel (for a change) book club book finished and waiting for next one. 

Week One

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Well I survived the first week with no pop, actually I guess survived is too strong of a word as it wasn’t really that difficult.  I’ve only been drinking water this past week and I have to say it hasn’t been that bad.  Only today did I really think that I could use a nice glass of pop.  I’m pretty sure that my body went through a caffeine withdrawal but it’s hard to say as I also started three new medications the same day I quite the diet coke.  It’s impossible to know which changes are from what.

I still haven’t completed the third goal for this week but then again Sunday isn’t over yet and I plan to work on that once we get back from shopping.  This is just a quick post, more to come later this evening.

Off to do some shopping out in Richmond.
