12 days!

Well, since I started my diet I have gone 12 days w/out soda and the treadmill is kicking my ace!!!! I have made a goal to run a 5K on Thanksgiving. Whether I do that or not I'm still getting my ace kicked by this treadmill... It just keeps calling me and when it does I challenge it to go faster and faster. I started off with a 20 minute mile(which I know completly sucks) and I am down to 14:44. For me that is pretty dang good considering that my 20 I did on Thursday and it is now Sat. I did 2 miles today one earlier in the morning in 15 and one just a few minutes ago in 14:44. So,,, I'm still working hard. The best thing is my soda consumption. I am so proud of myself and I am determined now to not drink soda again. It is still VERY hard dealing with it but w/ my Crystal Light I feel so much happier. :) Anyways, that's the deal w/ the drinks. Now I think I'll start working on the food. If anyone knows any good HEALTHY recipes... Please feel free to share them with me.

Dieting once again...

My weight has definitely discouraged me from doing a lot of things lately. My family has worried about me, I have worried about me. I'll be honest with you all because I don't like to keep things in (most of the time)... About a month ago I felt a little lump in my stomach which worried me half to death. I am super paranoid about it but some seem to think it's just a fatty Lipoma? I'm good w/ that but never feeling anything like that it makes me think 100 times of my health. I was drinking WAY to much soda and eating WAY to much crap. I don't deal well being a mother of 3. It IS hard, it IS stressful. I LOVE my children more than life and I would do anything for them. So about a week ago I quit soda cold turkey. IT TOTALLY SUCKS!!!! I am doing what I can to keep away from it. I hate driving past McDonalds now. I flip it the bird everytime I go by it nochalantly that is... I curse it now! I have been TRYING to make better choices in what I eat. Yesterday Sierra asked me yesterday if she could have a Coke. I looked at her and said Hunny, Mommy doesn't drink Coke anymore. She looked at me like I was an idiot and I felt bad! I don't want my kids getting into bad habits like me. So anyways, I've gone 7 days w/out my soda and am trying to keep it up for as long as possible. Hopefully forever.
