Day by Day..by day..by day..

SO most of you know I put myself up to a challenge of saying NO to pop/soda/coke for my 21 Day break a Habit Challenge.., and as I sit here sipping my Diet Coke - HAHA , JUST KIDDING!
It has been a CHALLENGE!!! I seriously think I sike myself out, and worry about how hard its going to be.., and I've had a few slip ups, but over all I have MADE IT! Giving up something that has become a comfort to you for years and years.., that extra 'sugar' boost of energy to help you get thru that day., it can be VERY hard to give up.
But my pants are already feeling looser, my water intake is up so I'm more hydrated then normal - and I can tell a difference just in the mere 2 weeks I've been doing this.
I didn't weigh myself this week - I made a promise to myself that I will only do that every 2 weeks so I don't get discouraged, and I keep my goals more realistic. So no weigh in today ladies!
I kept busy this weekend, and I didn't keep a close eye on what I was eating - I indulged.., a bit. I had ribs, corn on the cob, salad, pasta salad, some potato chips.., a few cookies and peanut butter brownies, but I kept moving.., I walked, I ran I worked out, I worked in the yard, I helped the kids with things and over all I feel pretty good. I might not of taken a few steps forward, but I didn't take a few steps back either, and that's what is important!!!

My goals for this week:
   - Keep off the pop!
  - Drink 90 oz of water per day!
  - Organize my laundry baskets that I'm pretty sure threw up all over my bedroom
 - Continue eating meals at HOME and not eating out
 -Get as much cardio work out in as possible - walking, working in the yard, playing with the kids..,
  make the cardio FUN!

  1. You go girl! Giving up pop is very hard! I have pop in the house and I know I should get rid of it but every blue moon when I want one I let myself have it. B/c I've gotten over the want/need of it daily. I feel I'm in control this way. Way to go on 90oz a water a day! I'm not that high up yet, I think I need to challenge myself with that.

    Thanks for your great post! You are kicking butt and taking names sista!
