Sodajunkie's diary/journey to success

hope you are feeling better - sounded like a nasty bug you had there
congrats on cutting out the soda .. soon you will not even want it anyway
and also well done on your weight loss - thats such a lot of weight gone already just from eating healthier and not drinking soda! :) well done
 
So here it is 11:30 on Saturday and I am still feeling like crudohla. Oh this bug has got me big time this time around. I am only up for about 10 minutes then back to bed. I am so thankful that I do not work for the next few days.
I have not really eaten at all today. Yesterday I did not eat much either, except that I did have fast food, so that takes care of the rest of the day for not eating. Today I have only had some orange juice and about a cup of curry pasta. I know it is not much to eat, but I am not feeling well and I had to force myself to do just that. Surprisingly enough I am not hungry. hmmmm. I am drinking plenty of water as with the fever I do not want to get dehydrated.

Well, I am heading to bed again. Took all my meds and hoping that I feel better by morning.

Until next time......:(
 
Thank you Sophie.
I am feeling better today, but not 100%.

Well, I got on the scale today and lost another 2.8 pounds. :D :D Oh I feel so good about that. I was worried with me being sick, then taking a short cut by eating fast food and not getting any exercise of any sort.

I am still not completely over this bug I got, still coughing so bad that I have no energy to do anything after a coughing spell. (I don't really have energy even before the coughing spell LOL) I have not even thought about what to plan for my meals with me being down but that is ok, I am feeling pretty good about the choices of food I have been making. I am finding it easier to say no to things and also to push food away as not to over eat.
The one thing I have done in the past when I do not feel well is to have orange juice and 7up mixed together, but this time I did just the orange juice and did good. Yea for me.

Not much else besides trying to get my energy back and get some exercising done (that will come in time). My grandaughter will be over tomorrow (we did not take her while i was sick, did not want her to get this) so I really need my energy. :)

Until next time..... ;)
 
Good luck with your day & finding that extra supply of energy you have hidden within you.

Just take it step by step & before you know it, you will be a mile down the road to health. Just think of this sickness as an overnight stay at some motel. Now you are getting back on the road, but have to first stop & get some fuel & figure out your route. Even if a slow go, its a go!

Enjoy your day & congrats on the 2.8 pounds!
 
I am up and about today and ended up back down. I am so exhausted. Tried to get a few things done, but was up all night coughing so have not found my energy yet.
I ate at fast food today, but it was a very small meal and with water. Dinner we went out also, but had tons of vegies. I feel pretty good, well except for my stomach is still messed up from dinner, too rich I think. No more of this. Soups for the next few days.
I have been thinking today about the benies of my weight loss. Even though I cannot see the difference right now, others can. It is amazing how 12 pounds can be noticed already. Well, what I was thinking about was the benies like I said.
Benies of weight loss: (not my complete list)

better health
less aches and pain
cute clothes
more energy
being able to keep up with my Little Tornado
able to cross my legs (I dont even recall the last time I could do this)
wont dislike when someone says i have a beautiful smile or face
able to tie my shoes without my stomach getting in the way
Oh, yes, smaller chest, yes, a good benifit

These are just a few for now, but ones I am thinking about today.

I turned down chocolate tonight. Don't really feel like sweets anyway so that was easy.

It is late and I still have more water to drink. Off I go to do that and to read to my Little Tornado before she goes to bed. I love being a grandma.

Until next time......:p
 
Well, today was weigh in for me. I did not loose :( BUT I did not gain. Yea. I am happy about that.

I keep a journal of what I eat so I went back over that and saw what I did this past week and know where I need to fix things or be more careful. I did notice that I ate too late in the day/evening.

I am feeling better, much better. Still have a cough, but that is pretty much it.

I feel more energy too, but I think a lot of that has to do with the foods I am choosing. Seems like the unhealthy choices leave me with little energy.

Any advice on juice from anyone? I really like juice, I don't have it that often, but when I have some, I really have some. Then I will go a while without it. I like to have the cranberry mixes as they say that is a natural diuretic, good thing. But like orange banana strawberry mix.

Looking forward to reaching another goal soon.

Until next time.....:
 
Today was weigh in for me and I lost 2.4 pounds. I am so happy as last week I did not loose anything.

I have been working lately and up on my feet for many hours (last 5 years I have sat at a desk),but now I am on my feet all day. I feel that with me moving alot at work I am able to burn calories.

I am not hungry like I use to be. I have to at times make sure that I get a snack, etc. as with me not being hungry I tend to not eat.

I have increased my water big time since working. I cannot believe I can say that I like water right now. Ok, what is happening to me. :p

Still no soda for me so far. I have no desire. I take care of my headaches with a little caffeine (mochas or coffee) every few days.

I am finally feeling better from my recent bug so am going to start incorporating exercise in my daily routine. I hope. I really do not like to do it at all, but then again, who does. I do not plan on walking outside as still cold here and snowing again, wow. strange for us.

Until next time...... :)

I weighed in on Monday and lost another 1.6 pounds. That puts me down 16 now, but still lots more to go.

I have not eaten very well over the past few days and am paying for it now. I am up at 2:11 am on Wednesday as my stomach is in such a turmoil that I cannot lay down. Boy I messed my stomach up this time. No more crazy foods, etc. If I am going to stray away from my healthy eating, then I might as well drink soda, BUT I am not going to. I need to get this back on track.

I went to my great nephews last basketball game tonight and then we met up at fast food. I had a small burger, fries and an ice cream cone. But I did have a mocha during the day and also lasagna for lunch. It does not seem that bad of a day, but combined with the last few days, it tore me up.

Tomorrow is a new day and going to be good. I got to get to the store and get some fresh fruit too. I am craving grapefruit and honey dew melon (not together, but craving both).

Oh, my nephew's team won the final game, 28 to 24. My nephew shot 8 points. Not bad for a 9-year-old. It was a very nice evening and game.

Well, to the recliner to try and get some sleep as cannot lay down right now. Stomach way too upset and nothing is helping. ARRRGGGHHHH. I have learned my lesson. :eek:
