Dear Diet Coke,

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Thank you for not giving me migraines or bad withdrawals today. I miss you, fizzy stuff! You’re definitely my drug and I wish I could love you without being addicted to you… hopefully someday I will be able to.

This morning I had to leave you at home. At work in the kitchen I saw that our receptionist cleaned out the fridge and there were TWO of you on the top shelf and then I remembered that I forgot I had you in the fridge from last week. When lunch hour rolled by… I had to leave you in the fridge again as I took Slimfast with me. After lunch, I had the urge to drink you but I didn’t cave in. I even told my co-worker about my addiction so now I can’t cheat.

I’m leaving work soon and I’m afraid that when I have dinner tonight I’m going to drink you in one gulp and that I’ll cave in and drink more of you. Damn you for being so fizzy and satisfying!

I can do it and I’ll keep trying all week long and it’ll be interesting to see how much weight I lose this week without you, Diet Coke.

Love (painfully),
Steph Anne

Slimfast & Grilled Chicken Diet

Friday night I dragged Tyler along with me to Blockbuster to get my hands on Twilight and poor hubby was the only guy in line. He felt better when he saw some guys secretly waiting in their cars until midnight. We stayed up and watched the movie… of course the book is always better!

Saturday we went hiking and it was almost 90 degrees! I was already on my 3rd water bottle in 20 minutes. At one point I felt dizzy so we stopped for a bit until I was ready to go again. We both enjoyed ourselves and I think we’ll be hiking more often now.

I tried waking up early this morning to go work out and I woke up at 5AM with a bad headache. This week I am back on the Slimfast diet for lunch only. Dinner will be either grilled chicken salad or grilled chicken with veggies every night this week. I will be going to the gym every day this week after work starting today. Amy told me I need to cut back on my Diet Coke addiction. I’ve agreed I’ll cut back on my daily intake to 2-3 a day this week.  We’ll see how I do this week.

Here’s to Feeling the Pain Tomorrow

Jillian was there tonight with me in the gym….ok, I wish! It’s always nice to have the gym to ourselves since I’m sure we’re the only ones that work out at 10PM. I love doing the elliptical bike!! Tonight I also did the treadmill for a bit – still not liking it but I’ll learn to love it soon enough.

I feel pain in my arms & legs right now…. and it feels GOOD! I think my hubby should be a personal trainer because he’s hot & pushes me and himself in the gym all the time. At least he’s my personal trainer!

P.S. I need to stop dreaming about being on the Biggest Loser show.. I’m tired of waking up and realizing it was just a dream. :(
