1 week

Yeah, I have made it one week with no soda. I have had a few headaches and I have thought about diet cherry Pepsi a few times but I made it. I have cooked at home for 9 days now. I do feel better about eating at home. I cook really healthy when I cook at home, I have read a lot of books and watched a lot of shows so I think I have a pretty good idea of portions and how to cook food and keep them very healthy.

I know I have been tagged a couple of times and I will try and answer those soon. I will hopefully find some time tomorrow to post some new pictures as well. I just thought I would give you a short report if you care.

1st day with no soda, second attempt

Okay, so I am trying the no drinking soda thing again. Last time I went for about 2 to three months. Well just recently at book club we were discussing this topic and they claim that in order to really see a difference you have to go for 16 weeks. So I am committing to 20 weeks that is 5 months. I did see some good stuff come from my last attempt. I just felt better and I stopped having head aches after the first week and a half. When I took up drinking soda this last time again the head aches came back so you would think that would make me stop but no I just love it. So starting today I am committing to 20 weeks no soda. So far not caffeine headache yet.

The second thing that came up in conversation is the eating out thing. Lets just say there should be a sign hanging in my kitchen that says "The only reason I have a kitchen is.........because it came with the house. I have also decided to start cooking at home again. So I took Mitch we me to the grocery store yesterday and we filled up three carts and spent just over $700.00 dollars. We really had nothing at home except cereal and lunch stuff. It has been so long sense we have eaten dinner at home. Except on Sundays of course. I did cook dinner last night and it felt really good to know we were eating something healthy and good for us. I am pretty educated about what I should be eating so when we eat at home we eat healthy food that is good for us.

The third thing that was discussed was the 100 mile bike ride which okay lets not talk about that. I am still thinking about this one. It is not until June but I think I need to decided fast.

Anyway I just thought I would mention this stuff on my blog so I would stay more accountable and have to answer to people.

Well anyway I do not have any pictures for this post just a lot of talk. Sorry!!!! Also I am not an English major so don't ever expect my posts to be up to that standard.

Oldy, Moldy, Mitch

Happy 30th Birthday Honey. Okay so I am the weirdo wife that makes her husband stand outside by the banner that I put on the garage and take a picture. Mitch turned 30 this year and has a lot of gray hair. He is always commenting on all of his gray hair. Well for his birthday this year he got the gun he wanted and a suit and the Cowboys jacket you see in the picture. He kind of got spoiled this year. I guess that is what happens when you work none stop for about two months. Well I am sure he is hoping I will be done with this soon because I am sure he is planning on getting some you know what tonight sense it is his birthday and all.

Well other than Mitch's birthday not much is going on. We did finally get our trailer we have been waiting for minus the couch because when the guy went to pick it up they had put the wrong one in so we are waiting for them to send the right one and then the dealer ship will install it for us. I will put up pictures when we finally go camping in it. Which I don't know when that will happen.

Well I don't know about you but I thought conference was really good. It definitely made me want to do better and just made me fill better about life. Good Good conference I would have to say.
