Back On Track Together
Day 1 of the 5-Day Pouch Test
Good morning!
I am a total moron. I had been making an effort to start getting back on track last week and was doing pretty well. I lost 3 lbs, actually. WELL, I ended up turning this weekend (YAY GIANTS!!) into a free-for-all bingefest and gained those 3 lbs back. I deserve it, completely! But I am sure that my behavoir will only serve to make this 5-Day Pouch Test all the more difficult. But it also shows how desperately I need to DO the test!!
I stocked up on SF Jello and SF pudding. I need to go out at lunch and get some yogurt and soup. Right now I am eating SF pudding. I am not normally a pudding fan and, I gotta say, this SF pudding? Major suckage! But it is what it is!!
I am also VERY bad with water. As in...I don't drink it. Ever. I am convinced I have Diet Coke running through my veins. I never gave up soda and I was never able to *not* drink while I eat. But I WILL drink 64 oz of water every day this week and I will limit my Diet Coke. I do not have plans to quit cold turkey.
So if anyone wants to wish me luck, I'll gladly take it! I NEED IT!!
Have a wonderful day, everyone!!

Good luck... and SF pudding... is not my thing either... watch for the SA... not only I dump on those, but the gas... ouch...
Try to get some water - I use Vitamin Zero water but I drink that 50% with water. Jus****er - my pouch still hates that.
At one time - I started drinking diet soda, but noticed that I would drink 2-4 cans on 1-2 hrs. Way too much. So I stop buying it. Now I may drink it if I travel and need something to keep me from falling asleep. Beside that - the soft drinks irritate my bladder. When I drink them - and need to go... I really need to go...lol...

Good Luck today Jersey Mom. Love me some Giants!!!!! I am a diet pepsi fan and I have my soda and water too! You can do this, just be prepared for a couple of headaches on day 2.

Good luck with the pouch test. I think you will be very happy with the results! I haven't had diet soda in three years and I still salivate at the smell and the sound of a can opening! Even after all this time. I had a HUGE diet Pepsi addiction. I'm talking several 2 liters a day. It was bad. It was the one thing I never went back too. I feel like it would be the last straw. And it was so hard to get off it. The first two days I could hardly open my eyes because I had a huge headache and felt like I had been hit by a truck. I still miss it. I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress! Take care!!
Hey Kriste:
Congratulations on giving up soda. It is VERY hard to give up! I am really bad with it, too. But my addiction is of fountain soda. The people who work at 7-11 and Quick Chek know me by name. ;) I guess I would average around 50-60 oz. of Diet Coke per day. Today was the first day in a LONG time that I did not stop and get a soda on my way into work. I have SUCH a freaking headache, though! I took an Aleve and it did nothing to touch it.
I will post my Pouch Test progress in my other thread. I am fairly miserable but I made it through Day 1!!
Have a great day!
