Living under a rock…
Happy Freakin Friday!!! WOOT!!
I am stoked that today is Friday…
I also have TONNNNNNNS to say! (Who me??)
First of all…Have I been living under a rock? Truly?
Two weeks ago, I went on a quest…A DRINK quest…
As previously blogged, I drink water, tea, and diet pop. Diet pop is pretty much down to one-three per week. So I have been trying to find some replacement drinks…Soley for the purpose of putting healthier things in my body, and there is sooo much controversy surrounding artificial sweetners…
I even posted a thread about it over on my other website. I tried switching to some fruit juice for a while out of concern for the artificial sweetners. Well, a couple nutrionist over on my other site said that over all, diet pop, in most cases, is still better than fruit juice…
So, I kind of gave up for a while…
UNTIL YESTERDAY. My coworker stopped by and was drinking a bottle of FLAVORED water. It looked inviting…So she gave me a drink…
OMG!!! Buddies…I LOOOOVED IT…
Now. I knew they existed, but I have never ever tried them. I ASSUMED I wouldnt like them…Why?
Well, back once in the day, I had tried one of those flavored seltzer waters and I hated it…
So in my head, I had nixed the flavored water…
What a dunce I am! I have been under a rock for sure…
I feel like whole new worlds have opened up for me!!! LOL… 
I am now a fan, and am gonig out this weekend to stock up on some flavored water…
WOOT!!!
Sooo…What else?
Oh, I have been soooo hungry these last few days…Like OMG I cant stop thinking of food…I THOUGHT it was because I am working out pretty hard now…Then I was reminded last night by the ex husband…He was like “Dawn…You get this way EVERY year at this time…Its the weather change…”
He is soooo right!
For about two weeks EVERY year at this time, I get the urge to eat and hibernate…SO…I just hope I can survive…
Man…I soooo didnt want to work out last night…Was just mentally and physically drained…But…A friend of mine said GO..So I did…Even though I grumbled the whole time…I am glad I went…
Otherwise, I am feeling good. Gonna do some Fall cleanning this weekend…Gonna workout…Watch my Buckeyes play badly again…And basically just hang out at the house…
I want to get on the scale sooooooooooooooo bad, but am afraid if I get on it, and it hasnt moved, I will be devestated…Because I FEEL like I am doing great…It would suck if the scale didnt agree…So…I am still fighting the urge…I want to wait maybe two more weeks before I weigh in…
Okay. Thats it for me for now…
Hope you all have a very lovely weekend!!!
I like Splenda…
Have you ever tried making your own flavored water? Debbie (Thrive) turned me on to it. It’s great stuff. Water, any fruit you like, cut up and in bottom of pitcher. Let stand in fridge. Man, I lovvvvvvvvvvve the strawberry water I make.
Don’t get on the scale. Don’t do it… just keep on feeling and doing great!
Huggggggggggggggggggs,
Shan
Congrats on you’re water discovery
There are some good ones. I cant fight the urge for the scale but I’ll support you and say…FIGHT THE URGE…STAY AWAY FOR NOW! How’s that?
Have a SUPER weekend!
Like you Buttercup, I like splenda to but am starting to cut back on it - yes, been listening to Jillian Micheal’s radio show and she’s against it.
Flavored water is good. Whatever helps you get back on track is awesome. BTW, you’re doing a great job.
oh yes, make your own! raspberries and lime are tasty, too!
At the grocery stores they also have Crystal Light To Go or something like that. You add this little packet to your own bottled water so it might be good to keep some in your purse. And the winter time always makes me hungier. I feel like a bear who’s preparing to hybernate. I always have to fight those urges during the colder months. Have a great weekend too!
I love the carbonated flavored waters…delicious. Grats on getting in your workout even though you didn’t want to! That is true progress.
