Me = 1 MD = 0
Jan 25Well it’s been a week and I’m quite happy to say that I am kicking my goal’s butt. I think in the past seven days I’ve had 2 days where I drank 2 bottles and the other 5 I only had one and didn’t even really have a craving for anymore. I’ve been filling in the gaps usually with one powerade and the rest water. I’m quite proud of myself, especially since it’s not even a struggle. I’m just not even wanting it really. I’m not ready to break it just yet because I need my caffeine fix or I get horrid headaches.
Otherwise I don’t blog really because I don’t need to go on and on about my boring day writing web content for peanuts or how I’m already slacking in my classes for the semester *woops* We’re contemplating a move when our lease is up May 1st, but I’ll go into the details of that on another post.
1st prenatal appointment for baby is Feb 1st. Maybe it’ll be a little more real then. Right now I have no symptoms but I didn’t really get any with Gracie either.
Mountain Dew is Evil
Jan 17For as long as I can remember Mountain Dew and generally pop in general has been something I consume on a regular basis. Since moving out of my parent’s house and being 100% responsible for the food and beverages that come into the house it has only gotten worse.
I’ve always said if I could ditch the pop I’d instantly begin to lose weight. There is no doubt about it. Let’s get to some very disturbing numbers here. I purchase it in 6 packs of 24 ounce bottles. One bottle has 340 calories.
I probably drink 3 on an average day, 2 on an off day and 4 on days when I’m up longer. That over 1,000 calories a day in pretty much pure sugar. *jaw drop*
So, baby steps is the way I’m going right now. I’m not sure whether it’s the caffeine or the sugar (HFCS technically), but I’m going to limit myself to 2/day for a week and in the gaps it will be water and powerade. In an ideal situation I’d just quit cold turkey but life isn’t ideal.
Powerade only has 130 calories per bottle and at least has some B vitamins in it. After a week I’ll revisit the issue and hopefully report back with progress here. I intend to then go down to 1 bottle/day and probably eventually wean down to 1 can a day and keep it there as my daily “fix”.
Wish me luck!
Spring Semester 2012
Jan 12Spring semester starts next week and I’m quite excited. I love to learn and I’m nerdy like that. If I don’t have a bunch of things on my plate at once I feel lazy and worthless even though I know I’m plenty busy being a WAHM and finding time to balance myself, Gracie and Randy. I think I’ve got a little routine down though even if we do go to bed at 9am and wake up at 5:00. Woops.
I’m going to be taking abnormal psychology, a writing for humanities course (ew), criminal law, criminal procedure law, sociology and intro to healthful living. I’m crazy. 18 credit hours again.
My first prenatal appointment is Feb 1st I think. I got samples of vitamins from my doc to hold me over until the appointment. They don’t make me sick either, thank god.
