It's Been About A Week Now
Well, it's been about a week and I've done great! I'm drinking no pepsi, not even diet. Strictly on water. I found this great water at walmart called sam's choice clear american water but its black cherry flavor. zero calories, sodium free, caffeine free. can't beat that. Im also drinking regular water. I'm finding it very easy to do this. Ive lost the craving for sweets, for the most part. I dont have a scale, so I cant tell if Ive gained or lost. I do know one thing ... I am sleeping a lot better. Im getting tired at a 'normal' hour, and im waking up at a 'normal' hour. Im also doing a better job of focusing on things throughout my day.
My fiance has been very supportive. He has cut out sweets and pepsi-like products. he's been drinking apple juice, water, and lemonade. it's nice to have someone so supportive, especially during this challenge.
I've not been doing so great on my walking. I can't move the treadmill because its too heavy and hes been working a lot this week. Im hoping we can move it tomorrow evening, since he has sunday and monday off. if he does, i will walk 1 mile every day this upcoming week. I think that will help me out a lot.
I can feel a difference in my knees. they dont pop and grind as much anymore. I dont necessarily have more energy, per se, but im feeling wide awake throughout my day.
Im peeing a lot more, too.
Im proud of myself. Ive cut down my portions. Not a whole lot, but some. Ive cut out all sweets completely. Im eating less bread, more greens (salads) and meats (protein). Im putting forth an effort. I might join a gym, when I feel up to wearing clothes and allowing my fat to fly around infront of people. Im not confident enough yet. Yet.
Its my bedtime. I just wanted to update. Thank you Aly for your support and kind words. I hope things work out for you and the SSD.
