I'm Out.

I did pretty well with the whole "Kick the Can" thing. I think it is a great idea. The only month I totally bailed on it was November, because I needed soda to stay awake while doing my Nanowrimo writing.

Here's the thing. I NEED caffeine. Addicted? Yep, I sure am. I found myself substituting Starbucks for my soda. Not only is this expensive but it's also counterproductive when you are trying to lose weight. 340 calories for a Grande No Whip Cinnamon Dolce Latte OR 0 calories for a diet Pepsi--the math don't lie, people. I do like the Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce latte which is only one hundred something calories per drink, BUT it's still more calories than 0.

So I feel bad about it, but not too bad.

I'm off to get a diet Pepsi. . .

When I tried quitting soda (mt dew) i lost weight, only b/c I drank SO much Dew that it equaled about 35 lbs/year of calories. Disgusting, no?
I love caffeine and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I stopped drinking my one or two Diet Cokes and didn't really miss it, surprisingly. Not even any headaches. I have a friend who has about 3 2-liters a day. Yes, that's right. He tried giving up cold turkey, and that didn't work at all. Duh.

I have just replaced most of my caffiene drinks with water but I still need one coffee in the morning a coke most afternoons. It's a hard addiction to break sounds like you made a good try.

Memory Lane

 Came back…looking through old posts.  There are many times when I really miss blogging. Life has been super busy.  Work, family…pretty stressful. I still have delusions of grandeur that I will find time to get back to the things I love to do unfortunately for the last few years it has been a lot of HAVE to do versus WANT to do.

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...
