To all soda lovers - another alternative is flavored club soda. It's water, no calories, but lots of flavor

Good for you. I was never "athletic " but when I turned 65 I got a free gym membership with my healthcare supplement. And I love love love it. I wish I had known that years ago. The aerobic dance classes are such fun and spin classes are the best. You can walk on the track rain or shine. I only have 4 more lbs to go to reach goal!!!!!!!!!!
It is a way of life now. I get upset if I have to miss going.0 -

It was almost empty in my section because it is a pretty huge gym,but my mom went with me so i had someone to talk to.0 -
I love this idea. I have done it before with friends but we all start strong for a day or two and then fall off. I restarted MFP and hope to use it to gain control of my food and lack of exercise. So just for today I will...
1)log my food
2) drink 48 oz of water (I have been so bad about water that this is a big jump and I will need to add a bit more everyday)
3)go to sleep before 11pm0 -

Good that you are working on it before baby #2 comes along. It is so hard to get off if you don't lose it all between pregnancies. Good luck and have lots of fun with your little boy. I have two grown sons and they were and are the best.
Now I get to enjoy 5 grandchildren.0 -

Didn't hit Wednesday's goals. Woke at 4 and that was it for sleep. Ate breakfast really early and was starving by a late lunch so ate more than I needed. Then unplanned friends for dinner.
On the positive side... I wasn't ridiculous number of calories over.. could have been so much worse
- I was really good at dinner... sensible portion size, no second helping
- - would have been darned close without the wine. But it's not everyday that you hear one of best friends has a heart that will not last him into old age and who may need to go on the transplant register someday soon.
All things considered I've made some amazingly good choices and am ok with the day.0 -
Thursday's goals
- - hit calorie target
- - get out for some fresh air even if it's 10 mins walk round the block
- - protein, protein, protein. Get some!!
- - no added sugar
Remember and connect to the end goal.0 -
I always appreciate your desire to brighten someone's day (#4)!!! I'll keep this one in mind for today also.
Say--here's an idea for you (speaking of challenge!), as I too used to drink way to much soda (Mountain Dew). I pretty much went cold turkey on it once I started MFP coz it took up way too many calories. But it helped that I found a substitute: Kombucha (like GT's). It is a sort of (sounds weird) fermented tea...comes in different flavors. Can find it for sure at natural food stores, maybe at some grocery stores in the refrigerated juice section. It is incredibly healthy for you: provides probiotics and enzymes, no added sugar...Why it is a good substitute is that it is nicely slightly sweet and it is FIZZY from natural carbonation (do NOT shake the bottle!) It takes a wee bit of getting used to, but is worth it. I really like the Gingerade flavor, and Gingerberry. Good luck!
Thanks so much for this suggestion! I am going to try this. I really need to cut out soda. I drink WAY too much Diet Pepsi and Diet coke, and I know it is not good for me! Plus so many have said that the sweetness, even in diet drinks, can actually make you crave sugar. SO going to put this on my grocery list!
Thank you!
Yes, Kombucha can be tasty. It's a great occasional treat. Carbs are my issue (medical problems) and fruit-flavored Kombucha has far fewer carbs than most fruit juice. On the rare occasion when I really want fruit juice, I will have 1/2 of a passion fruit or guava kombucha instead.0 -
