Happy New Year!

Hi All! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! Any good plans for New Years??

 

I wanted to update you on my progress of cutting out the 5 C's (coffee, chocolate, chips, cake, candy).

 

Let's break it down..........

 

Coffee

Typically I would say I have anywhere from 200mg - 300mg of caffeine per day. Today I had 60mg this morning, so I feel I am doing very well at weaning myself off of it. Everyday I have a little less. I plan on dropping it all together by this Thursday, fingers crossed.

 

Chocolate

Not too shabby here, I've had it a couple times but not in the quantity I am use to. I have not had any today and I'm hoping I can make it through the day without any.

 

Chips

Totally not remembering chips was on my list I have had them a few times.

 

Cake

I have not had any cake, I actually passed on the ice cream cake for my dads birthday.

 

Candy

I can't recall have any candy.

 

All in all I think I did pretty well. I need to focus on getting rid of the coffee 100% I feel before I can completely eliminate everything else but for once this doesn't feel impossible. =)

 

Happy New Year!

The 5 Cs......

I’ve come to realize that I am addicted to the 5 C’s……

• Coffee
• Chocolate
• Chips
• Cakes
• Candy

A whole lot of CRAP. I’ve been stressed this month and when I am stressed I eat more, like a lot of us but I don’t just eat more food, I eat more of this stuff. No wonder why I’ve been struggling lately.  I feel like I need to go on a detox, something has to happen cause I can’t keep putting this junk into my body. Everything but the coffee I am starting right now because I feel like after a few days I won’t have cravings for these things anymore. I am going to start cutting down the amount of coffee I drink right now but am not going to cut it out completely until next week. I have 4 ½ days in a row off work so I feel like that is a good time to come off the coffee so I don’t feel like crap at work and I can take a nap when I am really feeling the caffeine withdrawal.

Ironically today is 2 ½ years since my surgery, my how time fly’s by! I have 20lbs more to go until goal so that is just under 3.5lbs per month, super doable! I’m very excited about hitting my goal in 2012!!!  =)
