so here's the thing...

Back at Christmas I was pretty sick.  Bad cold that turned into a sinus infection.  During this time, one of the things that seemed to help with the coughing was fountain pop. Specifically Cherry Coke or Coke when cherry wasn't available.

I was sick for over a month and began to drink a large coke 1 - 2 times a day.  After getting better, I continued to drink a large cherry coke at work a day (sometimes twice).   I loved it and enjoyed every minute of it.   That is until my weight started creeping up.

I knew why it was and I just couldn't stop. I was addicted to my daily Cherry coke fix.  I craved it. I had to have it. Plus, this was how i got my caffeine to stay awake.  I don't drink coffee, so I had to get it some other way.

Sigh.... I'm here to say "My name is Laurie and I'm a fountain pop addict. It's been 7 days since my last fix and I'm jonesin for some."

Seriously people this is hard.  I never was like this before. I could easily quit pop, but then again I was never drinking it like I was.  It's hard stuff and I need to find another way to get some energy in the mornings to get me going.   Too bad coffee tastes like...coffee.

The hub and I finally got on the same page and are back to eating healthier/on our diet plan.
We're only 4 days in , but that is a big step considering how we were eating for awhile (especially when our kitchen was in disarray).

My knee still kills and I still need to get another injection scheduled.   My body still aches from the Fibro and all my mishaps.  I've recently had my meds adjusted and I'm feeling a little better.

SO...... no progress reports, but baby steps...

Long time, short post.

I'm doing this via my phone, so this will be incredibly short. Just to say I'm going to post very soon
