Woohoo. I feel pretty good. Brandon offered me pop and snacks tonight when I took him to the Soul Step Dance Studio thing where he got to show off some break dance moves. But I said no thank you, had a water and some veggie straws, that were actually good!

I have been doing well at not drinking pop. Yesterday was the hardest because I took Brandon to eat lunch at House of Doggs, and they have bottled root beer which I love. But I was able to say no. Sweets and Treats was really hard on a few days. Yesterday the kids got HUGE m&m cookies, and at least Isabella tried to share with me. Well, she has tried to share sweets with me all.week.long. I had to keep saying no no no! Wednesday nights we head to dinner at church, and they always have so many sweet treats, and I felt really good about myself when I passed them up. I need to get through today, and start again tomorrow. Next week, I plan to keep a better log, not necessarily online, but a log of what I have been eating. I still have a little ways to go to hit my total 20, and only 2 weeks from today. It’ll be a close one. But hey, I just lost 5 pounds this week, so if I buckle down with my food, and a little more exercise, I got it!
Next week will prove tough though. I have brunch out on Sunday, with dessert afterwards. We have so many birthdays and anniversaries in March, on my mom’s side, that we get together every March and have brunch together. I think, that if I watch what I eat, have a small piece of dessert and then walk around my Grandpa’s farm, which is hundreds and hundreds of acres, then I will be good! Later on in the week we celebrate my oldest daughters birthday. Eek, I am one week away from having a teenager! Then 2 days later, we celebrate my birthday.
Have a beautiful weekend. I am heading to the gym shortly to fit in a quick run, and then I work all day.

I think that it is fair to say that most of us strive to live healthy. I try. Somethings come easier than others.
One of my goals in my 101 in 1001 was to lose 20 pounds by the time we left for Washington DC. Well that date is fast approaching, as in 19 days. I have made some effort to lose the 20 pounds, and I have done okay. Really considering the effort I have put in, I am surprised that I have lost anything. But I think I can do it. I have my membership at the gym, and I signed up for a class at my church called Run for God. That starts this Tuesday, and I am accountable for making at least 2 other efforts during the week as far as running goes. The class is for beginner runners {to intermediate, I guess} It’s 12 weeks, and ends with a 5k. Each week we steadily increase the amount of jogging/ running to get up to running a 5k. I am pretty good at getting some exercise most days of the week. Food and Drink is a big problem for me, though. So over the next seven days I am going to do a few things.
1. Cut out pop completely.
2. Cut out the added sugar, no treats.
3. Exercise every single day.
Simple things, but can be oh so hard. So everyday this week, I will update you on my progress. I plan to do it for 7 days. Sunday through Saturday and then see where I am at, and what I will do for the following week and the one after that. I think that if I completely stick to a plan, I will have no problem. And you??? Keep me accountable. I need to fit into my smaller {by one size} clothes, so I have something besides sweatpants to wear to DC.
