today i did something that actually kinda made me proud of myself. My biggest problem when it comes to my weight is giving in and then saying i'll start over tomorrow...and then tomorrow..and so forth. Well today i went in to the breakroom at my work to warm up my lean cusine and buy a diet pepsi and much to my disappointment the machine was sold out of diets (and that was the only selection) man i just about wanted to cry..my diet pepsi is just about the only good thing about lunch!! I so desperately wanted to drink something other than water (im so sick of water lately) so i did what i alway did and gave in and bought a regular pepsi. When i got back to desk i did the math and was amazed to find out that 1 8oz bottle of pepsi is 250 calories!!! Thats outrageous!! So as much as i enjoyed the few sips i took, and as much as i wanted something bubbly to drink i capped the bottle and chucked it. Thats right i wasted a dollar all in the name of my diet. I guess its little hurdles like these that keep ya on track. So if i can do it you guys can do it lol good luck!!
