WEll I tried both drinks...too sweet so am going to dilute them with water.
and drink throughout the day. I carry a gallon jug of water wiht me all of the time. I am trying to drink more water.

171.9 this am. happy about that.

Caffeine:
I guess I can add this to my list of addictions.
alcohol, internet, food, picking and now caffeine.
Knowing that I have an addictive personality, maybe that is just the bipolarness of me?

Every morning I brew freshly ground organic coffee. I drink several cups with stevia and cream in the morning then at 2pm I just want a caffeine jolt. so I either beg a cup of coffee from a client(then I drink it black and on ice to drink it quickly) or lately it is just taking a caffeine pill 200mg.
It is a lot cheaper than stopping for a cup somewhere out of the house although a double espresso at starbucks is not that expensive.

I think I will give myself a break.Bizi's thread:
I think that my picking is a bad habit.
I am not a food junkie, I eat well for the most part.
caffeine is a drug that I have become habitual with,
like not in excess. 3-4 cups a day is not too too much.
Both the internet and alcohol are habits and addictions that I struggle with.
I am seeking balance in all areas of my life.
I will go to the gym in a bit so that will get me off the computer for a while, hubby needs it.

171.4 I don't know why I thought the weight would just fall off since I have not been drinking alcohol. This is a foolish notion. I have been AF for ten days. I think I have lost a pound this week. I will take it.
It looks like we will eat out, nothing is out from the freezer. We have concerts to attend both friday and saturday nights. That should be fun!
Tonight is a jazz trio, and tomorrow is a faculty recital classical chamber music. I hope we don't go out after the concerts, some times the faculty like to do that to celebrate their concert success.
I have not been in an alcohol situation this time around.
I would rather not go but that is not fair to hubby. He could take me home and then join them. or I should just suck it up and have a diet coke.
We will see.
It is friday a lent day so Sandras will have fish on the menu. I usually get the salmon cooked rare. It is delicious! But maybe they will have some other fish option.
I love to eat and this is one reason I am over weight.
Drinking is the main reason why I gained 45 pounds in 2 years.
It is slowly coming off.
I made it to the gym last night 2.5 miles on the tred mill.
I brought head phones so I could listen to the tv shows which made the time fly by. I belong to planet fitness and have been 3 times since joining on valentines day. I bought the up graded membership so that way I can use their hydro message bed and bouncer machine. They also have a massage chair that is too much. I will try it again to see if I can dial it down a notch. It hurts my shoulder blades!
At this level I will be able to go to other gyms in different cities like when we travel to Indiana this summer, or in different locations here.
The hydro bed is so nice that it gives me incentive to go to use the bed as a reward for going.
I hope I don't give up the tred mill and just go for the hydro bed!LOL
Think I will try intermittent fasting again, skipping breakfast and not eating after 7;30.

wish me luck!

I just listened to a "refuge recovery" meditation.
(a buddist practice toward freedom from addiction)
IT was awesome!
The in real life meetings are in my home town. We meet on mondays at 8pm. I have never been to one before.
I will post back after I attend.
I think there is a book that I should get.(just ordered it from amazon)

I think by cutting out any calories that we drink....we will lose weight. Do you drink any calories. Our bodies don't recognize the calories in drinks.
So I don't drink sodas or sports drinks or milk, juice etc....and now I don't drink fattening beers either.

I pretty much only drink water, unsweet teas, and coffee. My coffee has calories, but I try to stick to unsweetened creamer so I'm not putting too many calories in it. I've found that it does help with weight loss. At the very least, it certainly helps with maintaining weight.

It is so frustrating....
I put on 3 pounds over night....I know that this is not fat, I did not eat that many calories so it is water weight. I am stuck on 11 pounds lost since nov 15th.
sigh
I should not weigh every day....I still look pregnant.
so discouraging....

I have made it 10 days Alcohol free.
It has been a struggle coming home from working to not stop by and have a beer or two. But I tell myself as I drive by the whole foods that has a bar with delicious dark fattening beers....
"That is how I put on 45 pounds in 2 years".
I have lost a solid 11 pounds since 11-15-17.
It is coming off slowly.
Frustrated so I said what the heck and split a muffelleto sandwich with my husband, delicious if you like olives!

another AF day under my belt.
But eating was delicious today....splurged...I figure if I don't see results and I am depriving myself...I might as well eat what I want.
G0d i hope it is not the zyprexa making me do this.
Tomorrow back on my diet.

Was going to go to the gym to walk on the tred mill but instead hubby and I raked leaves.
11 of them: (30 gallon type containers)!
It took several hours so that is my exercise for today.
Maybe I will just go for the hydro bed massage as my back is sore!!
I sweat and it has been a long time since i sweat with physical activity.
It felt good to get something done.
