2 Weeks Down-Beginning Week 3

Ok, so it has now been two weeks since I have had any soda and have cut the sugar in about half. I am not eating half as much junk food as I used to. And I have to say I feel pretty good. I am still not getting to sleep as soon as I would like and I am still not waking up easier, but I do feel better once I am awake. I am not sitting at my desk falling out of my chair because I can’t keep my eyes open. I have more energy throughout the day. I still do have those moments in the afternoon when I feel like I have hit a wall and could use a nap. But they don’t last as long anymore. It used to be anywhere from and hour until I got home and was able to take a nap. Now it may last a half hour if that. I am still working on getting the bad sugars out of my diet which is proving to be pretty hard. It is getting a little easier everyday. Anytime I see candy or junk food I just remind myself of how terrible I feel after I eat it and what it will take to burn it off. Most of the time it works and I don’t eat it. Saturday, though, I gave in. We went to WSU’s Homecoming game. I was able to get skybox seats through my work and they had yummy food, cheesecake, and in the suite were lots of unhealthy snacks. I don’t crave it if it is not around but when it is right in front of me it’s harder. Well, I had a slice of cheesecake (totally regretted it after), some M&M’s, and a few Hershey Kisses. But I did just drink water and didn’t have that refreshing taunting Dr. Pepper in the fridge. 7 Days 7 goals This week’s goals are: 1. Keep up the no soda. 2. Take it day by day and resist the temptation candy and junk food brings 3. Exercise at least 1 hr everyday. 4. Buy a notebook to keep a food journal, make daily goals, and track exercise minutes. 5. Bring lunch from home at least 4 out of 5 days. 6. Watch 1 hour less TV every night and devote that time to school so I am not stressing at the last minute to get assignments done. 7. Do something fun this weekend like a movie or a fun activity with my nephews. On some other news, Kaylee’s baby is due exactly 3 weeks from today!!!! We have two baby showers for her this week. I can’t wait. And Saturday baby Taylor is coming to visit. Wooohoooo!!
