Help I fell off the Wagon and had Pepsi !!

Yes I did :( I could not help it, it is sooo good. Here is what happened: We were at Henry and Liv's and I was fine during dinner, I did not have any rice, just a little mac salad and chicken and cabbage with Ice water. But then after I was so thirsty I had a glass with Pepsi. It was so good. So Tomorrow I am back on the wagon and will make sure I keep my crystal light fully stocked in my purse so I won't be tempted.

Lightening !

Someone got hit by Lightening in Fontana !! That crazy huh ! Yesterday was another day at Henry's, this time I had KFC which was not the best, but I ate really early at 5:30 and did not eat the rest of the night. Although I wanted to :) Chicken was tempting, but I am seriously watching it all now. After Monday, I will need to be on a strict diet, No CARBS, protein shake twice a day and one meal. That not to hard, but I love food, but I love my life more . I want to be around to see my nieces grow up and drive their mom and dad crazy with the boyfriends:) I want to be here to see Henry and Liv have their first baby and then have another painting party to paint the baby's room ! ( Claiming it now ) I want to be here to see Caleb turn into "Benny the Jet" as he calls himself already. So, am I ready??.......um Yes???

Bring Peace to my heart Lord :) I know you are with me.. oh and please give me selfcontrol .
AMEN

Passed up the Pizza !!

Okay anyone who knows me, knows that Pizza is my down fall ! Well I am happy to say that I passed up the Pizza today ! Let me explain : My brother and Sister in law bought a home and are moving in. We ( Mike and I) went over to help clean and paint. Pizza is the easiest and simpliest thing to get when you are moving. So, on my way to their house I was worried cause I was so hungry and I knew I would eat alot of pizza, so instead I stopped at Juan Pollo and got Chicken tacos and a small beans and ate that instead ! And I did not even go near the Pizza !! I was sooo proud of myself ! One step at a time !

Change is Coming !!

Yesterday I went to the Grocery store to do my grocery shopping for the next few weeks. In that list I did not include things I could not have, and I included things I could have like Splenda, decafinated tea, sugar free jam, and of course Fruit. I am excited about what is to come. These are little steps that I am trying to take. Things I have already given up pretty much are Soda, even though I thought I could not live with out it, I have given it up. I have replaced it with Crystal light. I am doing my best to not have any sweets, and trust me that is the hardest for me. All in due time I guess. One step at a time . Mike is going allow for the ride, if my eating habits are changing then so are his. He said after surgery he will eat what I eat, in bigger portions of course. I am thankful he is supportive cause I need that.
