I’m feeling quite a bit better today, although I’m still not sure what shape my Challenge is going to take on. I’m sticking to my plan to stay off the diet soda, because that’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I hate being dependent on that stuff! Today is Day 5 of no diet soda. It’s still hard, to be honest. But it will be worth it.
Tomorrow looks to be pretty jam-packed with errands, one of which involves visiting the farmer’s market to pick up some eggs and green leafy vegetables. I’m working toward going Paleo with breakfast next week, and one thing I know I like that should do the trick is an omelet with spinach inside! I realize that I’ll have to expand my culinary repertoire at some point, but hey, it’s a start. I don’t think I’ll be implementing a super-regimented plan for going mostly Paleo; we’ll just see how things evolve. My co-workers who are participating in the official boot camp challenge are doing a fantastic job of revamping their nutrition; as for me, the diet soda thing is huge and I am going to make that my main non-negotiable for now, along with attending boot camp.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I’ve made a decision to be off diet soda most of the time. Rarely, after I’ve had my 8 cups of water, I’ll allow myself one in the evening. On those days when my healthy eating is the LAST thing on my mind, I start with the soda and end the day having had at least 6. Definitely a good habit to give up.

You have a wonderful weekend too! I can’t wait until our Farmer’s Market is back when the weather is nicer up here. I’m so jealous!

Good luck on the soda! I know you can do it. The challenge should be a great motivator for you. Nothing like a little competition :)
