there's got to be something terribly wrong with me. Why is it so hard to change myself? ugh. I have all these GREAT ideas about chaning things in my life, but never seem to follow through with them.
just today, i noticed in a moment of clarity, that there are five (FIVE!!) soda take out cups in my trash in the room. THIS has to stop. I've stopped drinking diet sodas because i dont want to be putting aspartame in my body, but now look at all the sugar that is going in still...
gross.
maybe this has turned into a complain about myself blog. i dont know, but whatever it is, hopefully i will start to let it help me.

You know that show "how i met your mother"? well, on one of the episodes, they call it "the last cigarette ever" but they dont stop then, and then the next time they try to quit, they call it "the last cigarette ever" and it keeps on like this until they finally do eventually quit.
THATS how i feel about trying to stop drinking soda. It's like "last cigarette ever" syndrome mixed with "i'll start that diet on monday" syndrome. I always want to get in just one more and start next time.

BUT!....

The advantages of hot hot heat days is that you WANT to drink all the water you can possibly consume in hopes of cooling down even a tiny bit.
Today wasn't as sweltering. Here's hoping tomorrow and the next days are nice and regular 70-80 days.

ew. it's too hot outside. AND inside.
yesterday was like 91, today is like 100. HOOOTTTTT
ugh.
ew. im ready for 65-70 again.
i promise i'll appreciate the cool next time it comes.
pinky swear.

day 7

i made it through to day 7! day 7 ended at the ECLIPSE midnight showing, so i got a soda (not diet) and waited until midnight so that it was officially past day 7. yay me. with my celebratory mr pibb and my beauties in ECLIPSE, last night was wonderful.

Day 6

Here it is. Day 6 already. Remarkably, the past five days have been easy. Ice water is what has helped. I am so proud of myself. This past saturday, I went daycamping with some friends and there was an entire cooler full of sodas that were there for the taking and I DIDN'T partake.

stay the course

day 2 was successful.
today is day 3.
i had a lemonade from taco time with my lunch. today's been good.
