Being a Diet Coke addict I thought this would be one of the most difficult adjustments to make during this 100 days. I am finding that giving up the Diet Coke hasn't been that big of a deal. Traci told me that I wouldn't see near the results if I kept drinking carbonated water. I have a ton of respect for Traci and took her up on the challenge. If I am really going to make the lifestyle changes I need to then so be it-pour it down the drain.
The real challenge has been finding time to log my food, blog, attend the nutrition class and yes get up at 5:00 so I can get my exercise in before meetings start. I have really enjoyed the changes in food choices we are making in our home. My husband Rick is joining in on this journey at home so I will keep an update on occasion on how he is doing as well. So far, he still thinks he needs chocolate milk and a Hostee cupcake before going to bed so we will see who has the best success. After all, a calorie is a calorie as we learned in our nutrition class this morning. If you want to safe it up for a reward, it might just work.

Facing the facts
This week I have experienced a few firsts, first time I have blogged & first time I have journaled my food intake. I have not loved the journaling piece as I have been in denial about all of the little snacks that I love throughout the day. When you journal you have to be honest with yourself and count every morsel. It has been really good for me so far and I hope to see some lifestyle changes just from this habbit.
I was able to meet with Tracy & my trainer yesterday. It was an eye opener to get my numbers back and have them slap me in the face. I know I have a strong family history of heart disease, so I don't know where the lack of motivation for changing my lifestyle came from. It is now or never! Tracy told me I was strong, I have always been strong headed but to have someone else recognize that your body is strong was a nice motivator. I now need to take that strength and be strong in the ways that will lead to a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you for this opportunity. I am committed not only for myself but also for my great husband who is making the changes in his lifestyle at home right along with me. I am excited to see where we will end up at the end of this 100 day challenge and hope we have been able to make the needed lifestyle changes.
