I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was giving up diet coke, and had plans to give up caffeine and sugar sweets. I have actually done it. It has been over a month since my last diet coke. Yes, it really has. True Story, True Story. I still miss it, but I love making better choices for myself. And the other two haven’t been as hard to give up as I thought.
Now if the weight would come off too…I have lost two pounds with all these changes. Sigh. But two pounds is better than gaining or being stuck. And I have to admit, I haven’t watched my calories I replaced my vices with. I chose to work on those specific items and then tackle the others when the time seems right.
I made these changes for a few reasons; first and foremost for my mental health. I am 98% back to myself after a long 14 months with postpartum mood disorders. I desperately want that other 2% as well. IF making the dietary changes is what I need, then bring them on! And of course, secondly, I would like to lose some weight. I am down to pre-baby weight, and a little below for the first two pregnancies, but still have 14 lbs to go to get to pre-baby weight with Patrice. Sigh. Food choice by food choice, running step by running step it will come…I just have to stay the course..
Come see how others are staying the course at Weight Loss Wednesday.
