So I have a small soda addiction. It's not even a caffeine addiction, just soda of any kind. I was reading on Pinterest that if you are craving soda should try drinking sparkling water with lemon in it. So today I bought sparkling water and a couple of lemons. Let me tell ya, it was nasty! I should have bought a small bottle of sparkling water. I also bought a bottle of orange flavored sparkling water, also nasty. What do you all do to curb your soda cravings.
I have a really hard time drinking the amount of water i'm supposed to. I've found that if I drink it with a straw it is much easier to drink a large amount of water in a short amount of time.

So, I pretty much blew week one. I had a grand total of 9 points! I feel like I'm just not in the frame of mind yet to do a challenge like this, but the fact is that I really want to get on track. So tomorrow I am headed back to Weight Watchers. There is a 1/2 Marathon that I want to run in only eight short months, and I am truly starting over at square one. I've never tried to exercise or get into shape with such a young baby. I'm not sure how to go about it. The combination of being extra tired and not being able to leave her because I am nursing is a challenge. After all of my other babies I've given myself at least a year before I even thought of exercising. That method did not serve me well in the long run. With this being my last baby, I don't want to put off getting in shape (hopefully once and for all) and living a healthy life.
Any way, these are just my thoughts today. Any Encouragement and advice is always welcome. HHere's to a better second week. You are all so inspiring.
