Farewell DDP

I just finished an early morning cardio workout. What a way to start the morning. If this doesn’t make me a morning person, nothing will. I really do feel energized.
I had a sad moment yesterday. My Husband was cleaning out the refrigerator (Isn’t he a wonderful man!) and he was handing me things to throw away. The last thing he gave me was practically full 2 liter Diet Dr. Pepper. With a tear in my eye, I watched the fizzy liquid spiral down the drain. Since May 1st, I haven’t had a single drink of my beloved DDP. Luan told me on day one that all I needed to be drinking was water. I have followed this rule as closely as I have all the others. The only way I am going to succeed in this program is if I follow the exercise and diet plan to the letter. So, even though I still grieve for the loss of my DDP, I know that it is all for the best. These small sacrifices that I am making will be well worth the outcome.
