A few quick hits from me:
- Today is Day 1 of my Caffeine Wean. I drink a lot of caffeine, diet Coke mostly. Not sure what exactly spurred this other than the nagging knowledge that I don't drink enough water so I eyed the 7 remaining Diet Cokes in the kitchen and decided, one a day then I'm done. I went cold turkey on Red Bull a few years back so I think I can do this, right? Work is really busy so may not be the best time to wean, but I'll give it a shot.
- No More Fast Food. Well, ok, I will probably grant myself a Portillo's cheeseburger (If you're in Chicago, you know it and love it) when the Marathon is over. I eat like crap. I know it and anyone who has ever dined with me knows it. Hard to get serious about training when I stuffing crap into my mouth. I was inspired by Suzanne's moratorium on pizza and Cubicle Dad's success with giving up fast food.
- Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser fame (yes, Jilly and I are Facebook friends, why do you ask?) posted a challenge for the week: Say nothing negative about yourself. If you start, say something positive about yourself. I tend to have a glass is half-empty outlook when it comes to my training (ugh, this is so hard, how am I ever going to do this, I can't do this) to my issues with my weight/appearance. Most of what I say is "in-my-head" talk so let's see if I can curb this.
Ok, lunch time over, my one Diet Coke is empty so time to grab a water bottle and get back to work.

Jenn - I'm so proud of you! I definitely agree you can have Portillo's every now and then - you know how much I miss Portillo's! My caffeine drink of choice is Diet Dr. Pepper and I too need to drink more water so I'm joining you buddy after my 12 pack (it's not full) is gone in the refridge. I sorely need to get back to drinking water only.
ReplyDeleteI found a can of Diet Coke in the back of the fridge, I hope that doesn't throw off your count.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should join you in this challenge. That way we can be cranky together. :)
