Wednesday Weigh In

This is what I've learned this week:

1. I have no idea if I've lost any weight, but I DO know that my pants feel looser. :-)
2. Sugar = Evil.

My body has probably been screaming at me for YEARS to stop the sugary madness. I blame my sweet teeth on GGV...but, enough blaming for now. I'm finally starting to listen.

I didn't make a big deal out of it -- partly because it was something I was doing for myself and I was scared of failure and partly because I didn't want anyone freaking out if, in their opinion, I was breaking some sort of "resolution" -- but, at the beginning of the year, I completely stopped drinking Pepsi. For those of you who know my obsession with God's sweet nectar, it was no easy feat. I'm not going to get into details or excuses, but I stayed away from my 'Pessi' for 59 days. And then...I had a Mother Migraine of all migraines. I had taken all the medicine I could have, and I knew the only thing that would relieve me was that which I had worked so hard to stay away from...and, I buckled. I needed the pain to go. So I caved. 

Now that I'm drinking soda again, guess what? The anxiety has heightened, again...the sleepless nights are back (except lately, because I have been so exhausted with family festivities going on)...the 'blah' feeling with NO ENERGY is here...and my 30-year-old pretty teeth are beginning to suffer. And, well, frankly, that just is NOT good. I have a 4-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl who aren't lacking in energy whatsoever, and so I reeeeally need mine back to be the best mama that I can be for them.

So, guess what? It's time...the madness must end. And this time, I'm going public. Just keep your mouth shut if you see me drinking one...it could be one of those moments when I'm about to snap. ;)

xoxo,
Sarah
