So about 2 weeks ago I decided, thanks to inspiration from a friend who informed me she hadn't had pop in a year, that I was done drinking pop. On Monday I finished off what was left of my Dt. Coke and on Tuesday I had my normal 2 cups of coffee, but instead of 3-5 cans of pop, I had 3-5 16oz jugs of water every day. It took a couple of days to get the soda out of my system, but then found that my energy level is actually higher than before. I feel more motivated to do things around the house and with the kids. The junk foods I loved, like chips, no longer taste good without pop to wash it down. Not surprisingly, I have lost 5 pounds since making the switch.
My exercise has not been the best, but I want to get back to that as well. My family has been sick for the last week, and the chest cold combined with the chilly temps has kept me inside. Tomorrow looks like it will be nice, a good day to start the walking again. :)
