Coke free

The above picture is about how many cokes I DIDN'T drink during the month of June. Roughly about 16 cans of Coke were cut out of my diet in the month of June alone. So far this month 8.

I was finally able to kick my morning breakfast habit, by switching to iced tea or water. Jed's sister, Amy gave me a super cute insulated cup for graduation, and since I don't drink coffee, I had to put it to work some other way. So now when I get to work, instead of popping 50 cents in the Coke machine, I fill up my cup for FREE with water or tea and work on losing the love handles that have quite the grip.

I didn't go completely cold turkey though. That's just not my style and not very realistic. Everything in moderation right? Right! I allow myself pop on the weekends, as my guilt free reward for doing well during the week.

It's so crazy how easily some habits are formed {bad ones usually} and how hard others are to get into {exercise}.

I was on such a good walking streak, until haying started and Jed isn't home until 8 or 9pm. I could take the girls with me, but I really enjoy my walks as my quiet, alone time. Plus I'd have to bathe them in bug spray and pack snacks for the distance I like to go. Sort of takes the enjoyable, out of the walk. Such is life though, and when your options are limited, you gotta do, what ya gotta do. Maybe I'll turn the iPod up real loud and drown them out. Or run really fast with the double stroller and listen to their giggles. . . . and then clean up their barf. Better throw in the wipes.
