Let The Game Begin....

Well, sure enough, weight watchers ran their promotion like I'd hoped they would, so I signed back up today. I'll start counting points tomorrow morning. Went to the grocery store today to pick up a few favorite stand-bys....whipped peanut butter, yogurt, meat and cheese, bagel thins, pretzels, fruit, etc. Now, I'm watching several ActiveLink 2.0 on eBay. I hope to get a good deal on one in the next day or two. 

As for my giving up soda...I've been a disaster. I have had one soda each of the past three days. That said, it's been one each day and today it was a medium diet cherry coke from Sonic. Did you catch that!  Medium not large or route 44.  I'm going to count this as half a victory since my portion size and consumption has gone down to about 1/4 of what it was. It's something I'll continue to work on giving up, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it either. 

Alrighty, tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start, and I'm just a tiny bit excited about counting points once again. 

UGH!

I caved today.... I'm enjoying a Dr Pepper.  Only 1 and I've been sipping on it for nearly 5 hours.  Not to excuse it, but it's been a really stressful day and it was the one thing that calmed  my nerves and kept a migraine at bay.  Alrighty, tomorrow is a new day.

Just A Little Discouraged

To be honest, I'm a tiny bit discouraged. I've diligently given up soda since the first and am only down (maybe) a pound. Hoping to see a better result come Thursday in weigh-in day. Yes, there are a ton of good reasons to support making this decision, and losing weight is only one, but it would be nice to see an immediate benefit to my sacrifice. Yes, I'm whining ;)

Still chugging along

Day three of no soda. Ate at home as well, except I did bring home pizza for dinner. Seemed like a good pizza night. Normally we eat out on Sunday's and I'd allow myself a Dr Pepper, but tomorrow is too cold to leave the house so maybe the streak will continue. 

Day Two...

I've made it thru a second day without soda and our second day eating totally at home. I'm not focusing so much on changing my "diet" right now, rather, I'm focusing on making some habit changes. Right now, I'm working on kicking my soda and drive thru habit. One step at a time.....

Getting Started

Happy New Year!  It's been a quiet day around our home. After a lifetime of celebrating my Mamo's birthday every New Year's Day, it's difficult to know what to do with this day now that she's in Heaven. A quiet day, however, doesn't mean a bad day.... It's been a good start (ahem...restart) to my journey. I started my day with plexus and enjoyed the energy it's given me. I also love that I'm just not all that hungry when I'm diligent with my plexus routine. As for my goal to give up soda....one day, soda free is under my belt :)  I enjoyed a garden salad for lunch and a ham and turkey sandwich and baked beans for an early dinner. All in all I have to say, it's been a pretty good day and a good start on my journey to better health.
