I thought this news article was pretty surprising. I knew that sugary drinks were bad for you but I had no idea how bad. Incidentally, the doctor being interviewed is my Dad's cardiologist.

I love how they say there's a link between sugary drinks and increased risk of death, they leave out the part from heart disease, probably because of all the years that the American Heart Association said to eat more carb (grains) (aka sugar) which does NOT improve heart health. I also love how they're also saying sugary drinks, it's sugar in general...but sugary drinks do tend to be worse because you drink them quicker and don't get full signals like you might if you ate sugar instead, although that's also another issue since sugar is so addicting, you may eat just as much of it anyway...I'll stop ranting...

Here's the Harvard study info if anyone's interested.

⭐️NSV⭐️

My pre-pregnancy jeans were a size UK14 (US10) and after having my son I could not even get them past my thighs, so I lived in leggings for months. I eventually managed to fit into them and after losing some more weight, I currently wear jeans in a UK12 (US8). I’m visiting my mum today and tried on a few pairs of her jeans just to see if they would fit...and they did! They are a size UK10 (US6) They did feel a little snug but I could get them zipped and buttoned no problem. I never thought I’d see the day where I would fit into a size UK10 again 🥳

Daily check in for Thursday

Track: yes
Calories: yes - under
Exercise: yes - 30 minute HIIT-ish session with my trainer. Although I forgot to start my tracker/timer, so I estimated the calories burned based on previous sessions.
Water: Yes - just under 100 oz. I really want to push past 100 oz consistently next week.
Steps: Just under 11,000

Still struggling a bit with my motivation this week. But I keep remembering this motivational meme I saw (a few times) that says something to the effect of...'Going to the gym when you're motivated is easy. It's going when you're not motivated that makes the difference.' So, I'm just going to keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing and not let the fact the scale seems to be creeping back up ever-so-slowly this week get me down.

It looks like the Slimsons have had some great losses to end the week! I'm a little behind on my posts, so if I miss anyone, I'm really sorry. But great job @DeshotelK, @SLIMn2016 and @Batgirl140!!

ETA: And great job @mltobia316 on your loss and @o0kody0o on your NSV!!!

Sorry, didn't mean to cause a stir. The medical community hasn't always been perfect, but there are some great doctors and she is one of them.

So to clarify, I'm not bothered by her, she's absolutely right! And good for her to share the information!

What really bothers me medical community in general, and I guess that's partially correct, the food industry and medical community. It really bothers me that they can't just admit that they were wrong and start telling people the right things, they're just starting to stop mentioning grains in their recommendations now instead of telling people WHAT to eat! Like you think that we'd actually want to start reversing the current health crisis and get the information out, but nope, we're just going to tell people things slowly like, drink less soda, etc. I think 10 years from now we will see things like don't eat processed foods and such, which is basically diets like a ketogenic diet or whole 30 or paleo, etc....but we shall see. (and well you can eat processed crap on those if you try hard enough but the idea behind those diets is to limit processed foods)

And nope, that was good information and the Doctor is right! No reason to be sorry!
