GO ME

So Step 1 is complete I have joined Weight Watchers and am now down 3.6 pounds in my first official week on the plan! I already feel better, I don't know if that is just because I've had a really good few weeks in life in general or if I feel better because I'm starting to take care of myself.

I realized last Sunday I haven't had a soda of any kind in over two weeks, in the last few years I'd given up Coca Cola or Pepsi for the most part so it wasn't strange to go so long without a dark soda but I still would drink Sprite or Ginger Ale, and lately I'd gotten on a Green Tea kick. I have a friend that I have made a bet with about what you can give up for 40 days... She said "drinking" I said "Deal" meaning SHE is giving it up not me, come on people I am good but I'm not that good.... Anyway she met me out on "Sunday Funday" and as she ordered her water I was thinking to myself "Water all night has to get old" and then she broke out her Crystal Lite packet and I thought "this is why we are friends" lol anyway that’s when I realized I hadn't had a soda of any kind in well over a week. I wake up grab coffee on my way to work, get to work fill up my Jumbo cup of water (my boss says it's probably 2 cups), and at some point I drink a Sobe or Vitamin Water but that's it! So GO ME!!!! One habit down only 3248 to go...

So now I have my first goal, my company has a Gala every year and this year I am going! Now I don’t expect to be down 50 pounds or anything crazy like that by March 16^th but I think I can pull off going down 15. I’m taking this slow and steady make little challenges to myself and small rewards… The Gala being my first reward! Now if only I could find a date….

Alright kids well this one is short and sweet! Till next time…. Hugs and Smooches!
