Good mornin all
I did not get a workout in yesterday because I was just having one of those days and everything my DH did was irritating me to no end.
I will do my second dya of my C25K tonight and I am looking forward to it.
I did not stop again today for a biscuit so that is 2 days in a row that I have not stopped.
I brought a Cherry Pepsi to work today and I noticed I don't really like the tast anymore. I might try giving up soda but I don't know how that will work with my migrains.
Hope yall are having a great day

    Sounds like you're making good progress!

    I had to give up sodas as well and found that drinking some chai tea helped me to ease of the caffeine without adding any calories or carbonation. Previously I had never been able to wean off caffeine (to the point of full blown withdrawals!) Good luck!

    Hi guys.
    Had a really bad day yesterday.
    Had a fight with the hubs on Monday night and it ruined my mood all day yesterday, the scale was up a pound and I just couldn't focus on work. I stayed in my calories though. I didn't work out but this morning I am back down from that pound and then some. So I am feeling better today.
    I am thinking of trying the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels tonight. I had tried it before but couldn't do it. That was before I lost 26lbs and I have been doing Sweatin to the Oldies so maybe my stamina is up a little now. Gonna try it tonight, if it's still too hard I will go back to Richard Simmons.

    Have a great day everyone!!

    Good morning!
    Did my Chalean PUsh workout this morning and then ran outside! Until now I have been doing the treadmill but I am able to go out now that my husband isn't working. I like it much better outside!

    smadag - I know how hard the addictions are to break (soda/ biscuit) I am so proud of you!!!!

    memaw-try the shred-you'll be surprised after 2 or 3 times how much futher in it you can get - everytime will get easier...you can do it!!

    Eni-I love to run outside too - not sure what I am going to do this winter?! I hate the cold and I want to be outside-we'll see.....

    Last night I jogged almost 3 miles to my husbands softball game-it's the first time I've jogged the whole trail rather than intervals - it felt really good - hills and all!

    smadag - I also have migraines and used to be addicted to coffee and diet sodas. I couldn't even wake up without at least 2 cups. I just gradually lost the taste for it since I started to leave out the sugar and cream :devil: (like you with the cherry coke) and it didn't make my migraines any worse or any more frequent. I still get them on the 1st and last day of the TOM, but they are not any more intense. I wish you luck!

    Chrissy you are doing the Race for the cure in a couple months, are you going to walk it or do the 5K run?:laugh:
    Just curios I would love to be able to run it next year when I do it again. I think I am really going to try to give up soda. One of my aunts did it and I know if she can do it so can I she had a bigger addiction to it than I do.

    I just over ate at lunch and now feel yucky. Mexican is my weakness:grumble: . I guess it is a good thing I am running tonight but I might have to do extra to make myself feel better.

    Mexican is hard for me too! Just get back on track now, and you will be fine. I just got home from my morning church. Need to do some housework, the the husband and I are taking our grandson and grandniece (both 4 years old) to a rodeo about 90 miles away tonight. Thankfully, it is much cooler today!

    Have a wonderful Wednesday, all! And yee haw from cowboyland!

    ha ha! I laughed about the mexican food because I married one (a Mexican, not a taco)! I've learned to modify recipes I learned from when I lived there so they are not so fatty. I'd be glad to share if you tell me what it is you most like eating:happy:

    I am running it!!!! I can't wait! I may actually do 2 of the Race for the Cures - back to back weekends.

    I've done great with no soda - you can do it - just WANT to do it!
