Ugh, I am so irritated with myself! I just had a Coke. A real Coke. A real Coke full of real sugar.
I stopped drinking regular coke in January. That was huge for me, huge I tell you! I am a girl who grew up drinking soda like water. And I'm so not kidding - I had Pepsi in my bottle as a toddler. Don't judge my Mom too harshly, it was the only thing I would drink and she was desperate...plus it was easier to give me the Pepsi and shut me up.
So when I say my addiction was extreme I am not exaggerating. I don't remember a time when I didn't drink soda. What's really amazing is that I got my first adult cavity last year, at age 34. One teeny tiny cavity - the smallest the dentist had ever filled. You think with all that sugar my teeth would have rotted away...
I still drink a lot of soda - but I switched to diet because I drink less of it that way. And since January I have been SO good! The only exception was when we took M to the movies for her birthday and we got a drink for all of us to share. When they charge $10 for a drink you have to do that....Anyway, we were sharing and they had Mr. Pibb (my husband's favorite) so that was my only non diet drink.
Until today. Until about 10 minutes ago. 140 Calories. 30 grams of sugar.
So. Not. Worth. It.

Awww...hugs to you! I'm a sucker for a 32oz Dr. Pepper from loves or Sonic....SUCKER I tell ya! Just get back on the diet wagon quickly!
How's working out? I've missed the last 3 mornings....let's see if I can do it tomorrow.
Rick just leaned over and said..."I like Amber"...you are super special!
Well the positive thing was that it didn't really taste good to me so I don't think I have to worry about getting off track again...and I didn't actually drink the whole can - I threw it away before I was done. But still! Frustrated that I got myself off track.
Workouts have been a little spotty - I've been better this week. It's a process... at least with me. But I always think something is better than nothing so I don't get too discouraged.
Really, I have to say you are such a good motivator for me - you are so committed! Sometimes life gets in the way - it happens. Especially with your hectic schedule! I don't know how you do it!
Awww, Rick's comment made me smile. He's welcome to become part of my fan club. I'm up to an impressive 6 members - my Mom, my two sisters, two good girlfriends and on some days my husband. I guess technically I have 5 members and 1 undecided...
And I like Rick too.
