Giving up the soda... YIKES my head!!!

Well.... As part of my goals and plans, I am giving up Diet Soda....

I am thinking cold turkey was a BAD idea, I have a killer, killer headache...

I am not sure how long this will last, and I am thinking that maybe I should have weaned instead of went cold turkey.... sigh.... ( I was drinking at least 7 to 12 cans a day!!!) I had never realized how much I was drinking, until I counted the empty cans at work from the whole day (6) and then had one on the way home and at least 4 that night.... That was a pretty average day as well!!! I was outright shocked!!!

Going to nurse my headache now...

I spent today with family and great friends, it was a blast and I behaved myself as well!!!

I wanted to share some of my current

pictures, as mentioned below, I started my blog a bit further ahead than the last time, I am currently stalled at 198/99 pounds, I bounce between the two numbers and seem stalled. I have decided I really need to add some serious activity into my routine to boost my weight loss, and that is my focus for the next bit....

I have several goals for the next few months, we'll see how I manage... Here is the short list:

1) Increase my activity level

2) Up my milk products, one of my weak areas

3) Up my fruit and veggies, another weak area

4) Balance my diet better overall, I am keeping the calories down, but not a good balance

5) Track better, I KNOW I should be, so just grab a pen and do it!!!

6) Hardest of all----- Reduce my Carbs *sigh* I am a carb addict... LOL

So.... I figure on taking on activity and tracking first and then re-evaluate after a few weeks..

I am going to try this again!!!

Ok..... It has been a while since my first failed blog/ weight loss attempt!! LOL

This time I am a bit further along before I decided to share, I started at an all time high of 242 pounds.... sigh

These Pics are actually at about 10 lbs less than that, but they give you a good indication of my starting point....

I am so sad that I allowed myself to get to this shape, and vow that once I get this weight off, I WILL keep it off!!!!

I have the desire, the support, now I just need to keep on track and have the Willpower!!!
