I'm sitting here drinking green tea trying to get motivated. The green tea thing is part of one of my resolutions. It is supposed to be good for you and I like to drink tea so why not. What I am trying to avoid is Diet Coke. At one point in time I became so addicted to that drink. I used to only drink one a day, then all of the sudden I am drinking the stuff non-stop. Something needed to be done. What helped motivate me was the recent articles floating around about how diet drinks are not good for you and do not help if you are trying to lose weight. So I have tried to reduce the amount of Diet Coke I drink. I am not saying I am never going to drink Diet Coke, but I am shooting for Diet Coke free days. I am trying to choose ice tea over soda in restuarants and I am drinking more tea and coffee. One thing I am not sure about is if I am substituting something like Crystal Light with water for the soda am I helping myself? Probably not because they both use artificial sweetners. But for now it does help me with the cola craving.
As far as my status, I have stayed on the plan solidly Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Didn't get to the Y like I intended, but if the weather stays mild, there is walking with my friend planned. Weekends are tough, but I'm gonna try to make it through!
I'll keep you posted.
