A little frustrating 1 day ago

I am not losing weight even though I am working out 4x a week. I looked spark people today. It looks interesting. The measurments I don’t get what exactly is .2 cup. is that a 1/4 or 1/3. The food combinations are kind of wierd but I can change the food on the menu. I think I might start by incorporating one meal at a time. Baby steps.

Going slower 1 day ago

I am going slower, but it is hard because I feel like I am holding people up. Even though I am technically going over the speed limit. For the last couple of days I have just stayed in the far right lane. With that I am doing good, but I did get a little frustrated this morning with traffic. But I guess this time of year it is only going to get worse so I will have to learn to deal. I also need to keep working at slowing down/stopping at yellow lights.

I am losing my taste for it 1 day ago

I had a small bottle and it took me all day to finish it. After taking a few drinks I just did not want anymore. It just did not feel good.I am so happy that I am losing the taste for it. I don’t know how long it will take me to not want any at all but this is the most progress I have ever made when attempting to give up Diet Coke.
