New Endeavors

Last nights WW weigh-in was successful....I am down another 1.2 pounds! My husband and I are taking a class through church called Body By God. It is based off of the book by the same title. As a result of last night's class, Mark and I are BOTH giving up our soda....YEP, you heard it. I am giving up my cherished, beloved, highly esteemed Diet Coke. I have always known how bad the aspartame is for you, and even went off of it for a few months at one point, but I know it is time to also eliminate this unhealthy habit from my life. I am thinking that eliminating the Diet Coke habit may be almost more difficult than the food temptations that I have struggled with. Diet Coke has always been my 'guiltless' pleasure. The one thing I never had to count calories or points on. I will start the elimination of diet coke tomorrow, however, I have reduced my intake of diet coke today. I had a migraine headache this morning so I delayed my plan one day....even though I am sure I will endure a few more headaches until my body gets the toxins out of my system.

Be Blessed!

Jodi and Mark, As much as I know it's hard to give up the soda's, I know your going to feel better away from it. I myself has never drank as much soda's as I have now and I am doing the same thing. I am going to drink more Water and Sugar free drinks. We will conquor our addictions and weight loss. With Much Love, Mom
