Day 3 and counting...("Getting back to ME" blog)

[Kristie]

I am now 3 days off of coke/caffeine products and honestly, kinda missing it.

I figured it wouldn't be hard to go cold turkey, heck, i only drink 1 coke a day as my nighttime treat and/or dinner drink...so now, i have crystal light that i put into a bottle and shake up which is all fine and dandy.. it gives me another taste other than plain ol water but i still kinda miss that pop/fizz thing you get from a carbonated beverage. how long do you think it takes to get over the hump with beverages like that? I obviously can't compare it to smoking or alcohol or what not, they just don't compare/relate.

Other than that, i've worked out everyday this week (sometimes twice by going to the pool and then getting on the tread/elliptical), gone to the pool twice (going back tonight and tomorrow cuz i have friday's off) and my chin is GONE....yup.. you know how you get that 2nd chin thing going when you have too much weight on you...i had one, now i can't grab it...so now we know what's the first to go... i expect the boobies to start shrinking any day now cuz those, i thought, were usually the first to go but nope, this time, it's the chin!!

a few things i've noticed.. i'm definitely more "awake" during the day, i sleep better at night (but ONLY if i exercise at night or before going to bed) and i somehow feel thinner even though i don't look thinner (weird!!).

just in case ya'll were wondering, bored or what not...figured why not post..hmmmm.. then again, maybe i should start a blog!

I stopped drinking pop in January. It's my addiction. I love love love coca cola but I had a habit of drinking it every day but I have 3 good reasons to quit.
1.) money
2.) to loose weight
3.) dental health

Strangely I haven't lost any weight from quitting. I like to blame birth control on that . The fist thing that goes on me is my boobs. They are where I gain weight first and loose weight first... they're huge.

I blame everything on birth control! hahaha

You know, the boobs is the LAST place I lose weight! I've heard they're supposed to be the first. They are way too big but I can't get rid of them.

I think that is the hell I am stuck in the rest of my life. I really want a reduction.. but I'm probably too young.

I blame birth control on all of my emotional unstableness, but I think my boyfriend is getting sick of that excuse.

Keep posting Kristie! Maybe it will eventually motivate me to do something about my chin! haha

unfortunately, it is too dang COLD out there right now to go to the pool tonight.. i'm so depressed bout it too... i really wanted to go.. but good thing is i have tomorrow off and so i'll hit it up tomorrow! yay!!

what is UP with this weather around the nation lately? it's windy and at least 60 degrees outside when yesterday, it was in the 80's/90's.

I know!! The 2 days before we moved in CVG it was like 80 then the day before it starts getting crazy cold and by the time we leave, its snowing and the bridges are freezing over! So 2 hrs away from home and we stay in a hotel... I was NOT driving anymore with at least 5 cars after each bridge off the road. Then we get up the next day and drive through NC where its SNOWING! So driving through the mountains in the snow is NOT fun. Then we get to FL finally and its record cold 31 degrees the first morning we are here. That was Sunday, and today it was in the 80s. This is craziness.

The gym at our apartments is only open when the office is open, so I need to get the motivation earlier than 6pm to actually go. Kenny is really loud in the morning, so I may get up when he gets up and go then. We'll see how that pans out in the morning... since its 12am and im still not in bed.

By the way.. what is up with this smiley?? it's called fun 14?? I dont get it.

my morning workout has NOT been able to work yet...i'm just NOT a morning person. I work hella hard in the evening tho which gets me sleeping really good so i might just keep up with the evening workout - even though - i then have to take a 2nd shower to get the chlorine off...oh well, such is life!

the smiley on the bottom? i dunno... i didn't name them, just use them! haha
