Just checkin in
Hey there Buddies!!
Things are goin well in my neck of the woods. I am trying to focus on my diet…as in what I am putting in my body…not what I am denying myself. I drank 128 Oz of water today, and I feel so so good- I had a really healthy lunch at work, and really focused on eating decent sized snacks.
Oh!! Something else exciting! Today is my THIRD day with out soda!! Yay for me!! LOL. Soda is my addiction…I can walk away from the chocolate and the burgers….it is the soda that sends me down hill- SO, I think I am doin pretty well.
I am trying to get more activity in. It is a really ugly circle for me….I fell off the wagon and gained these 25 lbs…and boy am I feeling it… I swear, now that I am ready to be active again I hate my self for these 25 lbs…. Man does it hurt!!! But we all have to put one foot in front of the other I guess and just start. I am gonna try to start swimming, it is so low impact that I think my sad little muscles can handle it.
Something I thought was kinda funny….sickening..but funny- They say that good goals to set for yourself is to loose 5 to 7 % of your body weight. I think it is a GREAT way to set successful goals for myself…but right now my 5% puts me RIGHT back where I started… Sigh, how depressing…but the funny part about it is…when I do reach it I will be doin the happy dance, because to me being 280 is SO SO much better than being 307.
Funny how life works, right?
I hope you have a great night buddies!
Much love,
Nys
I read about your soda habit…oh i had to smile. I love pepsi..can drink 12 pk overnight or used to. Hubby and I have been round and round cause he had to switch to diet soda (diabetic now), he was really really wanting me to switch to diet too. He bought a 12 pk of diet pepsi and it stood in the ice box 3 days before I had the nerve to try it…gross..it was horrible! However, I am happy to report that this week, I found a diet soda that I can drink..diet 7 up. Diet sodas have 0 calories but some still dont like to have them, but you might check them out or some other types of drinks..so much out there now. So, it really is a big big deal to be without the sodas…Good job! Also, good luck with the getting more activity in…stay strong-good luck!
Wow, 128 ounces of water! Good for you! That’s going to do wonders for your body. As far as the losing weight you just gained… I totally understand. Don’t you wish you could just go back in time and tell you old self what you current self knows!
