    Oh man....you're killin' me!!!!!!! I only have one endulgence and I allow myself one iced coffee a day. I sip on it all day long!! The way I make it it only has 87 calories and it's the one thing that gets rid of my sweet tooth!! I still drink as close to 8 cups a day along with it, but I'm up to the challenge!!

    Well, since I just drank my last can of Diet Mt Dew and payday isn't for another week, now would be a great time to do this challenge and wean myself off of Diet Mt Dew. I only do 1 a day, down from 3-4 a day a couple of months ago. I've always had an excuse not to totally quit. No more excuses!

    Did it..I stayed with water all day. I do have a question though..My blood pressure medication has a diuretic (sp) and when I drink a lot of water I'll end up with cramps in my legs and toes. If I add electrolyte enhanced drink tabs, that's not cheating is it? I'll need to do this especially with exercising.
  • Do what you have to do when it comes to your health hun. :) as long as your getting water and not drinking your calories its good :)

    I thought so, but I'm such a bad dieter I wanted to make sure. I tend to cheat and change the rules to fit what I want. LOL I got these drink tabs at the fitness store. The guy there told me these are better and lower in calories than Gatoride. Thank you!

    I was in a meeting at work and asked some co-workers over for a glass of wine after the meeting. It didn't even dawn on me until I was half way through my glass of wine that I competeing in the Bonus Challenge. I stopped looked at my glass and thought "Oh No, the Bonus Challenge!!"

    Yes, I finished my glass, but didn't have another. :blushing:
