So I'm on a health kick lately trying to shed the 10 pounds I so quickly gained. Did anyone else's metabolism just stop completely at age 30? It's horrible! I used to be able to eat anything I wanted without even worrying about what it was going to do to my thighs. I've recently come to notice that I'm struggling to tug my jeans over my thighs and hiney (which has been nonexistent until the last few months). I read a book on eating healthy and I'm a regular at the gym, but the pounds seem to come faster and faster as of late.
So for my new year's resolution I've decided to cut soda out of my daily diet. This means no more soda....and worse, no more Dr. Pepper. This may gross some people out, but I sat down and thought about the last 10-12 years of my life and I can only think of one day I ever went 24 hours without a Dr. Pepper (or in dire times a substitute of Coke or Pepsi) and that day was the day I gave birth to Addison. I was restricted from eating or drinking anything before I was induced and because I had her so late at night I wasn't able to get Rich to run out for a soda for me.
I'm two days into my "no-soda" kick and it's killing me. I was doing great until about 8pm last night. The headache came roaring in and I haven't been able to shake it since. I can't take any headache medicine because they all contain caffeine which is what is causing the headache to begin with (or the lack of caffeine I should say). We'll see if I can really make this work. Wish me luck!
