Breaking the diet soda habit took me FOREVER and if I happen to slide and have one more than once a week, I crave it every day. There's crack in there I'M SURE OF IT! :) So seriously, congrats. Cold turkey was the only way to go for me. And it's still tough, like I said. For pushups, if you use a bench but do them on your toes, you can also work your core. I used a bench for a long time, then a step on the highest level, and now I've lowered it down to the lowest level. I'll get to the floor soon! :) OOOOF.

The soda thing is tough and I think once you get past the first few days (which I think you have) you'll be smooth sailing. Keep truckin' on that, because a lot of people do not have the will power to quit soda. You should be really proud of yourself. I'm the last person to give advice on push ups as I'm terrible at them, but I've done a lot of planks (or "the bridge") and I remember when I started with them I could hardly do 30 seconds. Now, my best is two minutes and I do my best to keep my back straight. We also do side planks too. I know it's helped my core tremendously so maybe it would help you too. It's worth a shot, right? I know you mentioned how hard it is to fall behind in boot camp, but I bet you don't realize that you are inspiring others. I know people at my gym have told me that it's very inspiring to see people keep at something that's really tough, and not give up. You just may be pushing others in your group with your effort and not even realize it. :) It sounds like you have a lot of new things on your plate.

I was a full on Pepsi addict and had a migraine for the first two weeks when I stopped drinking it. I'm proud that you made it through day 1 - Stay strong and keep it up, Hilary! I am SOOO pulling for you. You can do this! I don’t envy you at all for going through this. I was a full on Pepsi addict and had a migraine for the first two weeks when I stopped drinking it.
