Water Baby!

As I have stated before, I love Coke and I miss Coke. Nothing can replace it. I know I need more water so I bought myself a Faux-Yeti from Academy's brand, Magellan. Thing works. Keeps my water cold and it's convenient. For $8, it's hard to beat! 

This morning I tossed in some cucumbers and lemon to zest it up and to get those added health benefits they provide. So now, ask me if I miss Coke... OF COURSE I DO! You think you can just add some crap to water and think it's gonna take Coke's place! Well, it doesn't, but it helps. 

First Week In

Lunch has consisted of a lot of pita bread, three blend coleslaw with Greek vinaigrette base and chicken. A hearty meal that doesn't break the calorie budget. Breakfasts are usually a hard-boiled eggs and five lil' smokies, a combo that holds me over until lunch. 

The big thing is cokes! I have found it much harder to quit coke than it was to quit smoking. That was a surprise. Mainly because Coke went with every meal... All three. PLUS, a relic from 2019 stares at me everyday at work when I put my lunch box in the refrigerator in the form of a unfinished bottle. 

Sure I could throw it out but it's a constant reminder and temptation for me to fight. Also a sign of how well the refrigerator at work is cleaned by the staff... It's been there since NYE.

My current phone background has been changed to my 2020 goal. The Brazos river. Cannot wait!

Day One

I don't know if I'll always be this in depth but wanted to put out there what my calorie intake is looking like. 

Big thing is that today is the first Coke (every soda is Coke in Texas) free day. It's been easier than I expected. Water with every meal. The caffeine is what I miss more than anything else in Coke. Cold brew coffee is a good alternative and has added health benefits so it's a win-win. 

Well there it is, folks. Low impact day step and activity wise but it's my first day back at work after New Year and I haven't had Coke. BACK OFF! Sorry... Caffeine, you know. 

XOXO

New Year. Newt Meat.

Here it is, folks. This is my starting point. Fat gut, no sucking it in. I gave up and gave in to food for the last of 2019. Figured I'd eat like the year treated me... Crappy. I'm super excited about what 2020 is bringing on. Planning a lot of little trips, good eating and fitness (🤮) for my 40's, which is a mere 18 days away. 

I'm ready. I'm stoked. I hope to entertain anyone who stumbles upon this. 

Wish me luck!

XOXO.

Legs is excited too.
