After a rough week with giving up soda, I believe I made a huge step in my journey. YAY! I first want to say if you drink anything that has Aspartame, I encourage you to stop! I want you to take a moment and read this article Side effects of Aspartame it really opened up my eyes,, I am no doctor and do not (uh oh I think that is a double negative,, hmm oh well I always stunk when it came to proper English) pretend to be and if you have any of the symptoms you should still see your doctor because many things can have the same symptoms. Isn't it scary? I couldn't believe how many of those problems I had. I am so over diet coke 5 days sober and my legs have gone way down and my orange size ankles have gone down to lemons,,not gone but in time with losing more weight and exercise, I know I can get them to be gone for ever!,, Now, I can't say I will never ever have one on occasion but I will never ever go back to everyday! Read my lips "no more aspartame for me (course you have to have our exceptions built in!) . FYI check labels, "sugar free" could and most often contains Aspartame. Equal also is Aspartame.
I had a better week of eating,, no perfect but far better than I have been. I am getting breakfast in more often but I know it needs to be everyday so that is a goal for next week. I added more protein to every meal in hopes to up my protein,, eating healthy can leave you low on points and if your not careful too much fiber and not enough protein,, so I am hoping to level it out. I haven't decided on what type of recipes for next week but stay tuned I will be announcing them here Dawnseatstreatsandlife.
OK on to the big news and the weigh in,, drum roll please....-4.8lbs down yes that is minus 4.8 folks,,, I cried,, I FINALLY made it over that hump. I know it may be water since my legs have gone way down but I haven't been able to even let go of that, so this is a huge triumph! Tooting my own horn, toot toot =)
Since I added my affirmation in with my weight in I will add it here too!

I started out with wanting to stop diet coke on the very bottom but with perseverance I made it to the top.. You know what? You can too! I have been drinking diet coke for well over 20 years. If I can stop that you can stop one bad habit or work on a goal you are reaching for. I am so ready to move on to my next challenge and I took one giant step forward on my journey today,,
Happy 4th of July to you all and Bless all our Military men (past and present) for without you, we wouldn't have the freedom to celebrate it!
