Choices... choices...

So, I am owning the fact that my food choices (and lack thereof) have been terrible lately.  The last few days I haven't felt great (my best guess is that it is from cross-contaminated food choices - namely oats) and as a result I haven't felt like eating much.  KC chastised me for it last night since my sum total of food yesterday wasn't enough for two meals let alone all day sustenance. 

I still don't feel great today, but I am determined to not let that feed the poor food choices I have been making.  Today is a new day and I am moving forward with a resolve to once again treat my body with the respect it deserves... after this Dr. Pepper that is.  

Ok so soda too has aided in my general lethargic feeling.  For 5 months I avoided soda altogether after reading just how much sugar is in one serving.... but somehow in the last two months the soda monster has snuck back into my routine.  I would be better off drinking coffee for the caffeine, but there is something about the fizz that I like.  I realize that my coach would not be happy to learn of my nearly daily soda consumption... it has to stop.

Very soon I will be accountable for everything that I eat/drink or don't eat/drink.  As much of a pain it is to write it all down, it is sure to help me get back on track... particularly since it is read and discussed!  I have worked so hard to get where I am and I am a fool if I let flavored sugar water begin to deteriorate my progress.  

Water... I need to drink more water.  

So... It is with determination that I head into my kitchen to make lunch and fill my Nalgene with water.  

Goggles on my friends...
