So, last night I went to see a movie a friend of mine (girls night) and afterward we talked until almost 1am in the car. I didn't realize that my friend was so healthy and she gave me several great tips and encouragement.
Lately, I've been feeling a bit stressed at work - over simple things. I've had headaches and my eyes feel blurry. And ... I love diet coke and have so for years. I've quit before. I've also cut back several time. So, here are a list of my bad eating habits:
- Diet Coke - I grab a coke almost every morning on my way to work at the near-by gas station. I have another from vending. Another at lunch. And then another at night.
- Eating white bread - lunch at 'good news' and 'perfect pita' almost everyday. Horrible for my diet, and not to mention my bank account.
- Sugar - I don't even want to know how much sugar I consume in a day and I will admit - eating candy with a diet coke is a great mix. One of my co-workers puts out miniature candy-bars that I walk by and grab several times a day.
So there you have it! Sugar and Diet Coke run my life. Before Matt and I went to Hawaii, I went on a low-carb diet that was recommended by my Dr and I lost 16 pounds. I went from a size 12 pant to 10 and was soooo close to having to buy size 8. I had surgery in May for endometriosis and then vacation and I haven't been on the plan since. I haven't ran since my 1/2 marathon in April. Needless to say, I'm not feeling the greatest right now and I know what I need to do to fix it. Why is it so difficult to make that choice in your mind and stick to it? When i was 'on the plan' before vaca - I didn't even crave sugar. I had more energy and my body image was great.
According to the scale - I've only gained back 5 or 6 pounds. The damage could definitely be worse!
Here's to better choices! Can I quit diet coke? Again?
