Today is day for on my non-diet and I am feeling so much better. I'm still recovering from pneumonia and my whole family is being treated for whooping cough, beside all that, I'm feeling good. I've been getting headaches every now and then but I think that is from my body de-toxing from caffeine and sugar. I love love LOVE regular Dr. Pepper. I used to have one daily and usually had more once I got home too. It's amazing how much crap is in soda, but I still love it. I don't care who invented diet dr pepper and I don't know what kind of drug they were taking when they claim it tastes just like the regualar stuff. That is a bunch of crap! It doesn't taste at ALL like regular. If they created a Dr Pepper with splenda I'm sure I would like that...So, I'm an all or nothing girl. If I cannot have regular Dr Pepper then I will just have to say goodbye to it, for now...my love...be strong! Wait for me!!!
I excersized for the first time last night in months and after all the hacking and coughing, I'm actually glad I excersized. My lungs were burning and my legs were all wobbly, but I'm proud of myself for starting. I have a full sized gym available to me at my work and I signed up this week, so after work tonight I'm going to work out a little bit. I'm starting slow so I can work my way up to kicking ass and taking names...I may see if I can get a membership at the local YMCA so we as a family can work out together.
I'm not going to count calories or obsess or watch everything I'm going to eat. I am focusing on my portions and adding some fruits and veggies to my diet. Just being more conscience of what I'm eating. I had 1/2 c of light cookie dough ice cream and I don't feel guilty about it! I'm allowing myself to have whatever I want, just in moderation...control...and if I have a bad day, its only a day and I can start over the next. Weekdays are good for me because I can control myself at work. But I'm a little nervous on the weekends, when I'm home...with my fridge and pantry. But I'm going to keep busy, I want to work out in the morning with my daughter Daisy and not focus on what I cannot have, I think that is the key.
So we are doing a biggest loser competition at work in my dept. We have 18 people and we all put in $20 each. We went into the copy room, (yes, the copy room) and all were weighed. Every monday we get re-weighed and the person who loses the most % of their body weight (nobody knows the pounds except for the money/record keeper) wins $18! So, you can win $18 per week and at the 10th week you can win the rest of the money too, being (wait for it!!) dunnn dunnn dunnnn! The biggest loser! I'm hoping to win some weeks, and of course, hopefully the biggest loser. Either way, I started my weight loss and I'm not giong to stop until I reach my goal. I need to lose 150 lbs. I will write on Monday after the big weigh--in and let you know how I'm doing!

I'm so excited that you're excited! Not obsessing is the key. It's all about CHOICES. I CHOOSE to eat brown rice instead of french fries, I CHOOSE to have yogurt with blueberries and blackberries and a dash of granola instead of Reese's PB Cereal or Lucky Charms, I CHOOSE to drink water and iced tea instead of Dr. Pepper. One note about the Dr. Pepper, YOU CAN DO IT! I used to be hooked on that more than chocolate (if you can believe that!) I swear, they must lace it with crack! But, I haven't had one in more than a couple of months except for one sip at a friend's house and (you'll never believe it) it was gross. All I tasted was burning carbonation and sugar and the sugar glazed my mouth and my teeth and I tasted it for like twenty minutes and it wasn't good. All I drink now is water (who woulda thunk?), iced tea and the occasional sugar free coffee and that's all I crave. You can do it! You can do it!! You can DO IIIIIIITTTT!
