Sorry I have been MIA. The last two months have been a little crazy between the holidays, the constant sickies in our home and my daughter's 4th birthday party. I kept thinking, I need to update, but no one reads this little blog, but since I had a reader request an update (thank you! :) ) I will update. I am hovering around the mid-30s and not any closer to my goal of 125. I had hit my 50 lb loss mark, but I've put a few of those pounds back on. I'm working to get those off right now. I have given up ALL diet and caffeinated sodas/drinks as a new years resolution. I'm on day 3 of surviving. (I started my goal a couple days late, I wanted to get through the actual holiday/weekend). I can't drink water always, although that's all I have been drinking for the last 3 days, so I plan to treat myself to a sobe lifewater every now and then...it has 0 cals and is sweetened with stevia. I'm already noticing a big difference from not drinking soda/artificial sweeteners. Right now I am trying to focus more on eating right and getting back into a workout routine than stressing over the actual number on the scale. I'll get there though...
I kicked the diet soda again this week too. Shockingly I haven't had a single headache! I'm just stunned. I've had successful stretches of time in the past where I haven't had diet soda but it always comes at the expense of about a week full of headaches (or longer, usually due to the artificial sweetener I think). I did have a complete physical crash last night though as a result of getting all the caffeine out of my system I think LOL. I was ready to sleep by about 8:30 I think hehehe. I drink a very occasional Sobe Lifewater too after reading that article on artificial sweeteners on WLB :)
