I’m standing strong, but this not drinking soda rule is REALLY HARD

Yes, that’s the rule that it’s just too hard for me even to try to keep. I think you’re mighty indeed.

Would flavored seltzer count as soda? That might scratch the fizzy drink itch for you…

:) Becky Kristensen

yes, or can you mix crystal light in with fizzy water?

I wish it was the fizzy that was the issue…I LOVE coca-cola & diet coke. There really aren’t any substitutes. That’s okay though. I think it would be harder if I tried drinking “non-soda” sodas.

I actually mostly eliminated coke a while ago because I’ve stopped eating/drinking anything with HFCS and I’m also trying to eliminate artificial sweeteners, but diet coke was hard. It’s getting easier though.

5 Mood: I will probably smile sometime today

Still recovering from getting my appendix out & stressed about all the stuff that’s been left undone around the house for the last week. BUT, I’m feeling better & the sun is out so how bad could things be?

Ouch. I’d say that’s definitely something that could take a bit out of your calm. Hope you’re recovering well!

You’re still recovering from the surgery so give yourself a break, Becky! Enjoy the sunshine and save your energy for that sweet kidlet in your photo. The housework will keep a little longer.

Thanks :-) I’m slowly chipping away at the disaster that is my house, but nothing crazy. I have to be on my own with the little girl next weekend, so I need to take my time now.

Definitely feeling like I’m on the mend & I’m ready to start reclaiming my life. I have to be careful not to push too hard. I have to admit, I’m kind of proud of myself for following my ’don’t eat fast food’ rule…usually when I don’t feel well I head straight for the double cheeseburgers.

Um, please see my comment on your post above this one. I’m glad you’re mending, but don’t push yourself too hard too soon. In the long run you’ll be further along.

I hate to ask in the last few days of the month, but I think I’m going to need a little help to make it with any points left. I won’t be able to follow my exercise rule at all the rest of the week because I got my appendix out last night.

Not exactly the best day & my life points suffered because of it. Although an emergency appendectomy can take the wind out of anyone’s sails I suppose.

I took today off & did some clothes shopping, although every time I got out of my car I just got angry at the weather. Really, sleet? It is spring now. Free Rita’s day said so.

This was a generally rough week. And this soda rule (or, I should say, my weakness in relation to it) is kicking my butt. A little fruit help would be much-appreciated.
