Hurts So Good

Ok, so I know I said I would cut out Coke. But, today was BAD! I am definitely addicted! Today, I had.... 3! I got one at the McDonald's drive thru, down the street from church no less! When I am bad, I am real bad! Ha Ha! But, it was so good! I swear that first sip is awesome, it burns in such a great way going down. Then as if that wasn't bad enough, we went out to dinner. And, I of course had to order a Coke. What else would I drink with warm rolls lathered with cinnamon butter, cool green salad topped with ranch dressing, zesty steak fries, and the ultimate medium well steak? Coke I say! Let them drink Coke! Tomorrow is a new day... I'll try again then!

Got to be Startin' Something

Today is the day I take the advice from my new book. I cleaned out the frig and pantry and in a little bit I'm going grocery shopping. I am going to follow their program. However, in the process of throwing out the junk, I came upon chocolate chip cookie dough, Coca-Cola, and Velveeta shells-n-cheese. I couldn't bring myself to throw it out. So, I had a last supper so to speak. My favorite food groups are the cheese one, the chocolate one, and the Coke one. So for lunch I had mac-n-cheese and chocolate chip cookies, washed down with Coke. I swore I wouldn't post any nonsense about a New Year's resolution, but by golly I did it anyway. There you have it: I wanna lose weight, duh! I will be keeping the rest of my resolutions to myself, so as not to set myself up for failure. If I achieve even one of them, I will blog about it next year. If I still blog that is.
P.S. I also got this, so if you see me wearing something weird on my arm, don't be alarmed. It charts my calorie burn and intake.
