The countdown has begun!!  3 more days!  I wonder if it will have the same taste as I remember, 'cause, did I tell you I'm going to start drinking my Diet Cokes again?  Stay tuned....

11 down, 1 to go

Yep, that's right, folks...Eleven whole months!  I'm proud of G and myself,  but the year's not over yet, so no pats on the back for us.  We've got 30 more days before we can congratulate ourselves. And then....well, we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?!

Can you say, "N.O.V.E.M.B.E.R."?
That's right, it's November, yall.  Whew, we've almost made it, G!!  And, I'm pretty  happy about it, too.  So, now I'm kinda looking forward to next year's resolution...hmmm....I'm playing with something in my mind, but not ready to share, hee hee...
Now, does everyone know who they're voting for???  Tomorrow is Election Day, and Frank and I plan on going around 10 ish.  Maybe the lines won't be too long then, but we plan to stand in line as long as it takes!  USA, USA, USA !!!!!
xoxo

October 5

October????  And the last post was June?? Where has the time gone???  Oh well, to catch you up, July, August, and September were all the same.....as far as diet coke goes....NOTHING!  Yep, I haven't had a single soda. YEAH!   And I really didn't want to complain, so I just didn't post anything.  My Mama always told me, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."  Do I still miss them? yes.   Do I still want one? yes.  Can I make it to Jan?   yes.  Will I continue to not drink diet sodas after the first of the year? no. 
Catch you later...

Half_Way_

6 months down, 6 to go!
I think I can, I think I can!!
6 months from now, Garet and I will be reminiscing about our year and our resolution and how we did.  So far neither of us has had "pie in the face".  And I don't want to be the first...so, here's to the next 6 months of success!!  "Shuurs"

May 5, 2012

Guess what?  I've discovered a new drink!! You know how I love my diet cokes, right?  Well, I also love diet orange crush...and.....now there's a little drink powder kinda like Crystal Light that you can put in your water, AND IT TASTES LIKE DIET ORANGE CRUSH!!!!  Isn't that great?  It was on sale at my Harris Teeter this week, so I bought 3 boxes of them. I shared them with some girls at work today, too - to spread the cheer.  I've also discovered a sparkling water(black cherry) that I like..
So for the first time ever, I'm okay with this challenge!  Yaaaaaayyyyyyy me!
Oh, and happy Cinco de Mayo, and Happy Kentucky Derby day!

April 1---No Joke

Hooray, it's April!!  We went to the campground this weekend and I was reminded all over again:::::::I MISS DC!!!  I know, I know....it's not that important.  I just missed my soda, that's all.  I truly am getting used to drinking more water, and coffee, too.  But, sometimes I want a diet coke, okay?  Frank says I may not ever want to drink one again, but I told him to think again, hahaha.  Oh, well,  there's bigger issues in the world.  I'll be fine...really.

March 1, 2012

2 months now!  2/12, or 1/6 of the way.  Only 10 months or 5/6 to go!  We can do it.  I'm sure of it.  Still missing my dc

31 DAYS!!!

Can you believe it's been 31 days since sipping my last Diet Coke?!  Sometimes it feels like it, other times, not so much.  I realize it's been a habit, one of my many bad ones.  So... have I noticed any changes?  Um..well...I seem to be drinking a cup of coffee now in the afternoons. There are certain times I really miss my DCs, too.   But, all in all, I think I'm grumbling a lot about something that doesn't need so much time devoted to it.
My Son-in-Law has adjusted WAYYYYY better than I have...he has a really good attitude about everything. 
You know what?  We've made it through a whole month...1/12 of the year!  WooHoo!!

Jan. 11

WOW!  Can you believe I've gone 11 whole days without a single soda?!  I would never, ever have dreamed that to be possible.  Since I last wrote, I've had some gum surgery, and some computer malfunctions.  That's not to say that it's gotten easy to skip my soda...it's still hard...but I've been a little distracted.  Now...my sisters are going tomorrow for a beach weekend.  I'm so excited to be going with them, but you know when you go out to eat, especially if it's fast food, you've just got to get a soda!  I'll have to force myself to push another drink from the dispenser!!
This probably sounds so silly to you, and it might be silly to me in another couple of months, and I'm ashamed to say that something so trivial means so much to me, but well...it really does!
I hope Garet is having an easier time than I am.   But...I AM proud of us both!

Waaaahhhhh!!

I must be a  baby, but  I  really  missed my DC with  my  pizza  tonight!   Maybe  I'm addicted .   Wonder     how   long     it'll    take   for   me   to    get   used   to     it.   Wonder  if  I'll like  it  next  year when  I  try  it  again?     Wonder who wrote  the  book  of   love?     lol

Day 2

I'm not sure I'll post something every day, and  when I do, it  may  not always be about my      "resolution".      Since  I'm on here,  let me just say..."Fruit   punch  isn't   always the best tasting  beverage  to    drink  with your lunch."   
       
That  being  said, my  children/spouses,  grandchildren, and  granddogs  have all  gone home.  Just Frank  and  me  now.  I'm  a  little sad,  but  I'm  happy  they  have homes.  We're    so     proud   of     them.      :)

1 day down

Today consisted of a  whirlwind of activities:       
l. I went with Kailey  and  Morgan to visit the Doctor, who diagnosed Morgan with RSV and an ear     infection. Put her on anbx and nebs. Poor baby
2.Kailey and I ate lunch at  Firehouse Subs...Poor me..I didn't know what to get to drink  until  Kailey showed  me the cool  drink machine that had about        10 choices . My choice? Strawberry    lemonade. Yay!
3.  Fixed traditional NewYear's dinner....ham,peas, greens, cornbread
4.   To top off the day...Apple pie!
My  sacrifice doesn't seem so big in the whole scheme of  things.
