there is no patch for this one


I need to be honest about something here... lately I have been on a crazy addiction to Coke. It started innocently enough. I learned from my hubby that McDonald's was selling their large cokes for a dollar. A dollar, people. It was so easy to just run through the drive through while I was out and about town. Then, I started noticing that a large just wasn't really cutting it. I upped it to an extra large, which for the record was $1.27 with tax. Not too shabby either. Anyway, I started finding reasons to leave the house so I could have the excuse to buy a coke. It was bad...really, really bad.

I have been loving the extra caffeine boost and the sweet, sweet joy that is Coca-Cola and nothing else for a couple of months now. What I am not loving are the extra pounds that have started creeping up on me. Now you may think I am crazy, but I am sensing a correlation between my sudden increase in coke consumption and the extra poundage I've been watching on the scale. Let me tell you that I am not happy with this. Not.at.all. Shame on me, really, for not taking a stand against this little drink that will turn you into a McFattypants faster than you can say, "No I would not like fries with that."

With that being said I'd like to share one of my goals this week...to water my mums every single day and not let them die an early death. Do you think I can do it? It might be hard but I will persevere because they are oh so pretty and I'd really like them to last until they it is time for them to die of natural causes. I'd rather not murder them and have that on my conscience for the rest of my life. Oh, and one other small goal...to quit The Coke. I guess I am doing it cold turkey as I haven't been able to find a patch for this little addiction.

  2. I work late at night a few days a week and drink diet coke to stay awake. I don't care that it says DIET. I started putting on the pounds. Then I stopped drinking the buzz and I stopped gaining weight. So how about a rootbeer float anyone?

  5. Yes, I'm sure you're 102 pounds now instead of 100. Sigh.
