A couple of smiles in thee but not as many as I would have liked. I ended up going over to D's house last night. I had a blast but it put a damper on my evening plans to do some housework. Lol. Oh well. I'll do it tonight. I went to the gym yesterday! It was the first time in a few weeks that I actually went! I'm really proud of myself. I was there for over an hour. I spent a half an hour on the treadmill walking so I did well over my 1 mile/30 minute work out. It felt pretty good! I think I might bring some gym clothes with me to work and go today as well. Depends if I can actually make myself go. I did manage to get up at 6 like I wanted to this morning. I actually woke up at 5:15 and couldn't get back to sleep. Lol. I go back to work today after a long weekend. I'm not really excited but I'm also kind of happy to get back into the routine and this week will be a shortened one. I just remembered that Saturday I am spending the day at my Mom's gallery as she will be at an artist's conference. I'll probably spend some time working on my story. It's kind of funny that @maryrobinson40 brought up the whole meeting everyone in person thing because that's kind of what my story is about! A group of women from all over the world, who have only talked via the internet, that spend a week together. You guys were my inspiration. Dont worry though, none of you will actually be characters! Lol.

I am in for the weekly weigh in!

Start weight Jan 2017- 193
Ultimate goal weight-125
Current weight-162.8
End of year goal-155

Sooo, I'm reading this book called "YEAR OF NO SUGAR"... It says,"the combination of caffeine and salt in soda is purposefully designed by soda companies to make you drink more.
Simply drinking one soda per day is worth fifteen and a half pounds of fat gain per year.
Americans are currently consuming at least sixty-three pounds per person of
high-fructose corn syrup per year." Dr. Robert Lustig. Book by EVE O. SCHAUB

Before even reading this book today, a while back I watched doctors on TV say that the chemicals in sodas eat away at your bones. Needless to say, I felt this was important because soda is the first thing she brings up in the first chapter of this book. It made me pay attention and I began to think, what if letting go of this vice and letting go of putting sugar in my coffee would be the very thing to get me over that proverbial hurdle that's kept me from that number I've been trying to reach?!😱😨 What if paying even closer attention to the hidden sugars that keep me addicted are eliminated from my eating habits..what type
results would I achieve along with all this other healthy, active stuff?...hmmm.
I'm going to ween myself off and see what happens. I always go on a diet, But I've never been in a lifestyle, way of living setting like this. I feel when I log in here, I'm "HOME", type setting and I'm with family. I come here more now than I do Facebook. I got a lot of names on my friend's list, but only constantly communicate with a hand full... You all have embraced my heart since the beginning. I truly love it here. And I get to tell my corny jokes and I think some of you actually laugh, or at least chuckle.
Now I'm rambling, done went and got myself all off subject. Teacher would have all kinds of correction marks across this post.
Lmbo!! Mary, stop using the run-on sentences.. Then I'd say, but Teacher, you said the last part of this post stopped going anywhere... So, I told it to run on until it got somewhere.😁😂😂😂

LOL Oh I love reading your posts! I have the same problem with run on sentences so your style of writing makes perfect sense to me! Love your response "I told it to run on until it got somewhere"

Sugar - I tried to limit sugar the first time I lost weight and I truly believed it helped me lose 10-15 pounds in the first couple of months.

I used to drink 4 Large Double Double coffees a day. 30 grams of sugar, 30 grams of carbs, 14 grams of fat! That was all usually before lunchtime, although sometimes I would have a 5th one in the afternoon. Then in the afternoon and evening I drank very close to 2L of Coke almost daily! Water never passed my lips!

I now have 1 medium coffee double cream a day. - Still 12 grams of fat, only 4 carbs and 0 Sugars though. I refuse to buy coke and have it in the house 95% of the time. If it's there I will drink it. I still drink a couple a week though usually. I get Happy Meals for my lunch a lot with apple slices and a child's coke.

How did I do it? It was tough I'm not gonna lie! I cut down to 3 coffees a day, for a while I did it with 2 creams one sugar. Then I cut it down to 2. Eventually I got it down to 1 large double cream coffee a day. I kept up with that for about two years. This time when I started losing weight I was trying to save calories so started with the medium coffee. I very rarely have a double double now, this is usually a treat for myself when I can afford the calories and let me tell you I like it more than a piece of chocolate! But it's a treat only. I had one yesterday, but the one before that was back in June!
As for the cokes, I just don't buy it! I have found something about myself though, that probably goes along with what you read in the book. If I go three or four days without having one, I don't want it. I don't think about it, it's just done! If I have one though, I want more of it! Everyday 2-3 times a day! I find it so much easier just not to succumb to that first one.

Potato Chips are the same for me, I can't have them in the house if I do I eat them. Hence over 1100 calories in the red yesterday! If I really really have a craving for them, I make myself have to leave the house to get them. Because I had them yesterday I am craving them bad again today, but am fighting it!

Good luck to you, you can do it! Get your stubborn on!

In the past, I found that if I quit drinking coke or Dr. Pepper, I would have a headache the first two or three days. I think it was my body having to cope without the caffeine, sugar, etc. But then after that, I was fine. I rarely drink pop nowadays (since I started this life change journey in January). What I do drink is LaCroix. I like the fizziness and the sound of the pop top as I open it, lol! Anyway, if you do decide to cut back just know you might have a headache or other issues for a couple days

you did not just mention Dr. P!
LOL do you remember what happen last time! A Dr Pepper infectious craving spread over the thread and it ended with me buying one lol!!
