Go Me.

Sorry for such the long delay in posting. School has been kicking my butt, but luckily today was kinda the last day of the semester. I say kind of because I still have the rest of this ten page paper looming over my head. (Kind of like the annoying rain)


Since I am on Christmas break now (for the most part), I will try and do better about posting. I know you have been anxiously waiting (NOT).


So, many of you may be curious...............I DID IT. I actually gave up Diet Coke for an entire 7 days. I actually ended up going about 8 and then I decided to have one, and believe it or not it took me almost an entire day to drink one little bottle. The taste was definitely not appealing anymore. I am going to try and keep this up. 


I did have one AMAZING experience while I was no longer drinking Diet Coke. I take Zumba, not as often as I would like, and before class the other day I decided to run AND take Pilates. I am not the "runner" I would like to be (my mind gets in the way), but on this day I somehow ran an entire mile and a half WITHOUT stopping. I would have kept going too but class was starting. It may not seem like much, but that was a pretty exciting moment for myself.

NOT MY PICTURE.

I also just realized that I should be drinking some 76 ounces of water a day. Ummmm......can you say bathroom break every 30 minutes. 


But since tomorrow is December 1st, I am going to get on the workout train. I am going to become fully committed and I am going to hopefully lose A LOT of weight. (I won't tell you my goal or what I want to weigh or any of that -- too personal)


Currently I am researching some motivational workout/kick butt songs and planning out a great nutritional diet. I am going to get a one month head-start on my New Year's resolution.

This blog is about to have a purpose.

1.	addiction
	a compulsive habit that people obtain through repitition.

Obviously, if you know me, I drink Diet Coke practically ALL day EVERY day. This is NOT good.

I am not a coffee drinker, therefore Diet Coke is my caffeine fuel. I strive to not drink too much, but I am pretty sure I could drink it continually.

THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS.

Today.

Now.

NO MORE DIET COKE. (for a week)

What else do I do with this health revolution?

BLOG. Duh. You are reading a blog, thus my continuing to ramble about Diet Coke. (I thought about making a prezi, but they may have to come later...)

First things first, read this article http://www.blacktable.com/gillin040317.htm (completely relate)

This blog will now track my misery and time away from Diet Coke.

Countdown to another Diet Coke.....
