Week 2

Feeling great, feeling successful.  The biggest challenge for me this week was my diet coke addiction.  I don't crave it as much as I thought I would, but I did feel withdrawal.  The last one I had was 8 days ago.  On day 3 with no soda, I definitely experienced withdrawal symptoms and had a huge headache.  But, I got through it, and felt much better the next day.  It became an almost daily habit, and it feels good to not be dependent on it!  A friend of mine has also sworn off the stuff, so it's good to have an accountability partner in this area.

My numbers were exactly the same as last week.  A little disappointing that I have nothing to show for my work this week, but at least I didn't gain!  PMA (Positive Mental Attitude!)  This means I really need to focus on my eating habits and nutrition this week.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
* 3 workouts plus lots of walking
* More "active" in my walking: moving faster, bigger steps, and dancing (only in the dark when I feel brave)
* I was successful with my goal of close to 6,000 steps a day using my dinky pedometer, but I reached close to 10,000 2 days!
* No diet coke! Only water and green tea.  Except for a lemonade as a treat yesterday, and 2 glasses of sweet tea with my friend. 
* Plugged my deets into sparkpeople.com.

This week's GOALS:
* 64 oz of water daily.
* Get back into the routine of taking my multivitamin daily.
* Protein shake at least 3x a week.
* 3 Curves workouts.
* Continue plugging into sparkpeople.com.
* Continue nutrition education with The Maker's Diet.
