Big Girl Small Problems

Six weeks. Six weeks of no soda and no cheating with even a diet soda. I honestly don't feel any different than I did before,except I am less winded and no stomach cramps. I am drinking low to zero calorie drinks and a lot of water. I pee a lot. I think I am going to revamp my eating plan (my body is used to the old one) and incorporate more workouts. I will post next time I can. I won't give up on my no soda challenge. I have found peach green tea the most refreshing thing ever. Until next time

Dear Readers, It has been three weeks since I have cut out soda. I have not  cheated, even though there have been a few days a coke would sound delicious. I have been eating my normal diet and exercising and all that jazz and I haven't lost anything!!! Good news, however, is that I haven't gained anything. I know it has only been three weeks, I am for sure not giving up. I am going to keep going because I don't feel I need soda or want soda anymore. I feel good, I feel like I could walk to the moon, but we will wait for that. I am not drinking a ton of calorie drinks like slushees, fruit punch (unless sugar free). So this is my feeling of my own no soda challenge: Anyone have any suggestions? To participate or discuss, please follow my group page on my challenges: Big Girl Small Problems Challenges

Today marks my one week anniversary! I am proud of myself, I haven't committed this long to no soda. I hope that I can keep it up! Things that get me through the day: Water Fruit Punch Crystal Light Fresh Lemon Lime Water Slurpees Smoothies True Lemon/Lime products Let me tell you about a product that I love. I bought it last week and tried it for the first time today. It is True Lemon Peach Lemonade. I haven't had something this delicious in a long time! Tomorrow I cannot wait to try the True Lime Black Cherry Limeade! Where can you get these? Pretty much any grocery store in the punch mix isle by the Crystal Light. How do do I feel? I feel a lot less bloated and icky. I have only dropped one pound, which is good because I haven't been the best on my diet the past couple of days. Where do I see myself in the next week with no soda? To a point of not even wanting the Coke flavored slurpee at the 7-11, and feeling my stomach a little flatter. ...

It has been 3 days of no soda. So far so good. When I tell people of my choice some are like "ugh why soda is so good!" But to be honest I can already tell a difference. I bought some mixes to go into my water like Crystal Light and True Lemon and today I made lemon lime water. An inspiration from Pinterest. I hope it aids with my digestion because there is some needed help in tha t department. Everyday it's a little better and I am alright with better than worse. Until next time.

I might die, I might cry, I may never be the same again. In fact this is what I am shooting for. Eating right, exercising, and all that other good mojo just doesn't seem to cut the fat the way I want it. Soda makes me feel bloated, ugly, disgusting. Today I am going to attempt to cold turkey it completely. I am also going to stop eating candy like it is going out of style. Of course I will have a treat here or there, but I am going to going to go sugar free, fat free. Oh mother of all that is good, please help me in this no soda endeavor, and forgive me if I slip and drink a diet soda here or there. I am going to try other alternatives like Crystal Light, V8 Enegry Juice, and other such things. If I have any readers... what do you like in a non soda world?

Well... it is a fat day. Hate those. You try so hard and everything falls apart. So I went to google.com and found a wonderful fat day blog that I would like to reference. From Flab to Fab! I'm Having a Fat Day! [click]. Here are some things I can learn from it, and so can you! 1. Don't eat a ton of junk, just because you feel like you're already fat. 2. Your pants may not fit now, but tomorrow they will fit better. 3. Guys have fat days too. 4. If you are on your lady time... do we even expect anything less?         4A: My last or second to last day I retain the most water. Then tomorrow or the next, it will be like it never happened! 5. Go to the gym, drink lots of water, love life. I think after lunch I might go for a little stroll around the park later this afternoon. I have been good about keeping a second pair of shoes here in case the opportunity can present itself for a 15 minute walk. It is so nice out there! Anyway I just though...

Can I just say that I have always hated the gym? But lately I only want to be at the gym. I guess it helps that I like my gym, and don't go alone. Anyone else like this? I used to call people like this a "gym head" but now I am eating my words. Here are today's reasons for going through the awful weight loss cycle for the umpteenth time... 1. To get fit 2. No more back pain 3. To meet gentlemen that will like me for me, because I will like me for me. 4. Self confidence. And that is that in a nutshell. Any who until next time....
