8 oz. - a mere 340 calories. Find it today it the pop cooler! It's a cruel, cruel world out there. On my way to work today, I stopped at the gas station to grab a diet pepsi, decide that I will buy nothing else and then next to the pop, I see these. OMG!! I can't even tell you how good it looked. Mmmmm. I picked it up only to look at the calories. I think it's one of those things that I will never even taste, because if they are awesome (and how could they not be?) I will want one all the time. Who needs to drink down 340 calories and 5 minutes later be hungry. I think it was a very good thing that I had breakfast at home with Jacob this morning!!!The scale has been friendly this week. Inching it's way down - as if I was really trying. Seems odd because I haven't been trying and it's my TOM week. But, I have been teaching every single day, so I have been moving more and we are not eating out at home - so all that must be adding up! :) This made me realize that I am always going for "the big fix" and that maybe if I was just a little better, I could make some headway. Maybe it doesn't have to be such a big freaking deal.
I am really glad it's Friday. I'm pooped and I need to recharge. Monday we start water aerobics back up, I'm very excited! And then on Thursday...SURVIVOR!!!! :) :) :)

Mmmmm, YUM! But you're right, sooooo not worth it! Good for you for not giving in, I know that was a tough one. Those are the kind of choices that add up and make the most difference.
It's true hon, it really doesn't have to be such a big deal. It's the little stuff that matters most. I'm glad the scale is being kind to you, that's what happens when you're kind to yourself. Gee, ya think? ;D
Yay for water aerobics, and most important of all, YAY FOR SURVIVOR!! Yeah, I know, that priority thing... ;D
Have a great, relaxing weekend!

Hey Sandi. I am one of those people who has trouble celebrating the small losses. Instead of being happy with a 1 lbs loss I berate myself for not having lost 3 lbs. Thanks for posting that bit that Meg wrote. I know I've felt that I am a different person because I have gained weight. I feel bogged down by all this fat, I know I would be so much more energetic and motivated about everything in life if I weren't overweight.
Why not focus on just the next 10 lbs and forget about the rest? I am challenging myself to lose 10 lbs by Halloween and I'm not going to drive myself nuts thinking about the rest. It would be the most weight I've lost in years if I could lose 10 lbs so I'm focused on that.
Good to hear that you are going back to water aerobics, hope you enjoy it! Have a great weekend!

Sorry, the thought of DRINKING a chocolate fudge brownie does absolutely nothing for me. My gas station downfall is a bottle of Starbucks Mocha Frappacino (not so bad at 110 cal, but bad enough to be a "special" treat).
Yep, you've hit on something there. It certainly doesn't have to be a stressful big deal that you're thinking about every minute of the day. Weight lost slowly through sensible changes that you can stick with forever is going to stay off. Anyway, a pound a week is 52lbs a year and that's nothing to sniff at, is it?
Survivor? Is anyone really looking forward to watching that?? Its not as though the next 99 hrs is going to feel like an eternity! ;)
