I cant give it up yet but have reduced it to one bottle or glass a day)but its working. I did give up whites. And sugars. Except for my one wedding cookie for dessert after dinner. Giving myself some leeway, I tend to stick to changes better.

As if i dont have enough on my plate with opening a store I have opted to help a friend train her new shetland pony to drive. I go out twice a week to work with the lil one and it is giving me exercise. That, ontop of the YM pool and all the movement at the store, i am getting stronger physically. The BIG thing I have noticed is I catch myself slumping, which I got into when I felt the weight of the world on my shoulder because of the wedding. Now when I catch myself slumping, I straighten up. I feel more solid inside, more support inside, and it shows in my body.

Someone said they dont have fibromyalgia but are allergic to glutten? Really?

Oh, a tooth is being pulled Monday. It cracked more yesterday and half of it literally fell out of my mouth. So I suspect that will help with some weight loss too. Not being able to chew is a great weight reducer...lol.

This heat sucks! I force myself to go out on the days i am scheduled, to work that pony. its 86 degrees at 10PM here. Seriously? I am not in Az!

Ahhhhh but it is a DRY heat here in Arizona....
Except during monsoon season, which just started
at the end of June and runs until about the middle of August....
I am a bit worried about the humidity and heat in Chicago...
I leave in the morning, thinking about traveling in shorts which is
sometimes a crap shoot if they lose my luggage......

If you're slumping, try a cold bottle of water -
it helps to perk me right up!
(what is that...diet coke?? Haven't had one in 5 months!)

ahh, Jo my friend, I drinks tons of cold and lukewarm water! I have replaced the diet coke I am not drinking, with water. I need the hydration. My store doesnt have ac and it gets at least 100 degrees by the window display, which is where my desk is. If I didnt drink water, I would be in serious trouble!

I am SO proud of you for the changes you made in your lifestyle! You are doing so great!

Dont you have some sweatshirts w hoods to send me? Hmmmm....??? I betcha they will be too large now but come fall and winter when i am out there working in the yard or with that pony, I wouldnt care what size they are...lol
