Dr. Appt. Yesterday

I had a dr. appointment yesterday and was told that I have acid reflex and need to give up the following:

Pop - Tea- Orange Juice or citruc juice- chocolate- peppermint-tomatoes-the list goes on and on.

So, that leaves me water!  I am just not a water person.  I am a 4 pop a day person have been since I was 18.   This is going to be so tuff for me.  The thought of only drinking water all day is not very exciting to me.   I usually have a pop on my way to work in the morning…so far I am sitting here at my desk with an empty glass.   

Do you know what kind of headache I am going to have by the end of the day.  Yes my pop is the caffinated type, but diet!!!!!

If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.  He didn’t even want me to put anything into my water for flavor.  Just straight water…this is never going to work!!!!!!!!!  

Wish me luck today,,,,,,,I sure am going to need it!      

Riding my bike in the morning…..

I have done it now for 2 days in a row.  Very proud of myself.   My bike is just a stationary bike that I love to ride, imagining I am riding all over the country side.  Actually I never leave the room it is in.  Oh well, nice to dream.  

I also have found that these past two days of doing it early in the morning, my legs are sooooo sore.   If I sit at my desk for any length of time it is very hard to get up and get moving.  Legs don’t seem to be to bad so far today.  Yesterday it hit me in the afternoon. 

Also as my New Years Goal, I am walking the treadmill everyday for 2 miles, sometimes it takes me almost an hour to get there but eventually I do arrive at the 2 mile marker on my treadmill.  I know the weight didn’t come on over night, but it sure would be awesome if it came off overnite!!!!!

Have a great day everyone!  

New Day…New Year!!!!!!

This year is going to be the best!

I am sending out positive vibes…….this is my motto for the year….to only have good thoughts, keeep a smile on my face and have a happy attitude!    (I hope it works)

This year my youngest will get married in September. My goal is to be 30 pounds lighter.  I have picked out a dress that would be perfect.  Have made a copy of it and hung it on the refrigerator.  That way whenever I think I need to snack I will have the picture hanging there as a reminder.

The past two weeks have been hard for me with the kids coming and going.  I have one child yet to leave, we take her-husband-cocker spaniel- to the airport tomorrow late afternoon, heading back to San Diego.   Then it is just hubby and I.   The house will be quiet again.   I love the quiet, I love the noise when the kids are all home, and then I love the quiet again. 

Between all the kids visiting these past 2 weeks, along with spouses and dogs, my house has been turned upside down.   So, I figure if I am going to do a cleaning, I might as well get ahead of the game and do a good “Spring” cleaning.   Will keep my mind off food and will help me burn calories cleaning.   Yes, I figure I will have to do it again in March-April but if it helps me to loose a pound while doing it then it will be perfect!

Better get my day going………Have a great day everyone!!!!
