Coke and Diet coke

So last Tuesday I gave myself a challenge.  I thought it would be interesting to see if I lost more weight if I gave up sodas/cokes (in the south ALL soda is called "coke") for the week.  So I did it.  Except for Sunday afternoon, I split a small real coke (which was actually Pepsi) with Alan.  But other than that I had none.  I was even at the casino where the "cokes" are free and had my cup of ice under the diet coke button and realized -- no no cant have that and had to pour that down the little drain, so i did.  I had lemonade...  By the way, if you don't know this CASINO COKES are the best!!  I don't know what they put in there but they are really really good!  Just saying that this was quite an accomplishment for me!  I tracked all my food and -stayed within my points for the week. (I think!!)  So my shock came when I got on the scales and I had gained .8  - almost a pound!!!  I said kinda loudly, "WHAT"???!!!   I just couldn't believe it!  So my experiment did not work out like I thought it was going to.  I really thought no "cokes" would make a big difference.   Oh well, I do know that "cokes" are not great for you and if I were to cut back a little my body would probably appreciate it!  I am not going to be legalistic about "cokes" though and I will have a couple.  So, this week I am just going to try and cut out a few points each day.  I usually eat ALL my points and split my 49 into each day so I actually have 35 per day.  Then if I have any activity points I splurge on those.  I better get going with some activity!

Today I am taking Miss Kaycee to the doctor.  She has a very bad sore throat.  There is MONO going around school.  I sure hope that is not what this is.  I don't think it is she has not been any more tired than usual.  I think we will also see about getting a hair cut and maybe visit Heart and Sole for some advice on shoes and inserts.  I would like to do the walk it challenge that Weight Watchers has just started but I need to get my feet in shape!

Gotta get some blogs read.  I need some encouragement after the "COKE FAIL".  I was so hoping to keep the loss going!!  Maybe I should even try to drink more water this week.
