Getting Started...Again!

So, here I am. Joining Weight Watchers again...let's not talk about how many times I've joined the plan. That's ancient history!

This time I will apply what I've learned from my failed attempts. I will not try to do everything in the first week. During my PowerStart meeting, my leader Reny said,"Make one small change." It was such a powerful statement. I don't have to move heaven and earth my first week, because I know I won't be able to keep up with that. Honey, heaven and earth get heavy after awhile!

So I thought about what one small change can I make this week? This is where I have a teeny, tiny confession to make. I don't drink water. The last time I drank water, by itself, was about a month ago. How unhealthy is that? I'd hate to see my insides.
Seriously.

I have an addiction to PEPSI.
Just writing the word, makes my mouth salivate. I love it. I'm addicted to it. If I come home and there's no Pepsi in the fridge, I panic and immediately leave the house to go get some. Ok, ok, I promised to be honest here. I immediately start demanding and pleading with my husband to go pick up Pepsi, so I can watch Glee and grade papers. He tells me I'm addicted. He doesn't call it Pepsi, he calls it my crack. I have about 10 glasses a day. One 16 ounce bottle on my desk all day long and a can before I leave work. Yeah. I'm addicted.

So my small change this week will be to drink 3 glasses of water a day. Although it sounds like a small amount, it is going to a small change I can handle.



Side note, a lady at the meeting said I didn't know anything about the 90's because I was too young. {Insert BIG smile, here} I'm 39. However, according to this kind, kind woman at the meeting, I look like I'm in my early 20's. YAY, me! This compliment will keep me going ALL DAY!

Have a great day! Drop me a comment, so I know I'm not talking into a black hole.
