Give up DDP and DC? NEVER! Okay, maybe,,,

Wow - It's been since January since I've posted anything. I'm really terrible at posting things. I vow to be better, though. Okay, so here's the update...I've lost about 7 pounds total. Slow start, but losing none the less. I gave up all carbinated drinks last week! HARD! I'm totally and completely addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke, but I gave it all up. I know I wasn't drinking the calories, but I decided to go all out. The caffeine headache that first couple of days almost laid me out. Now surprisingly, though, I have a lot more energy. I guess the article I read about diet drinks making you tired was really true. I gave up sugar as well....Okay so that's been a little trickier. I let myself have something on a free day. And salt - well I'll never be able to give up salt - chips maybe - but not the salt that goes on them! Can't I just drink more water to compensate? Or is it that the salt retains the water? Or was that the carbination retaining the water? I don't know, but I lost two pounds last week with the workout and the clean eating. I guess I can do it for at least another week. I just keep thinking bikini bod...bikini bod...bikini bod...
