I've been here every day, Sis

Mignon--Congratulations on leaving soda.  I'm struggling a little.  Just staying the course.  I need to amp up the physical part of this journey.  The weather here is crazy.  We are apparently headed for a rough patch over the next several days.
Stay strong.

Feeling alone in Near-Afterland. Awaiting my blogmates' arrival. Hopefully, this morning I just drank my last Diet Coke, for this moment in time. All gone. No more anywhere to be found in my apartment. I'm transitioning to Zerowater with a six-pack of Diet Hansen's. My 2 beautiful water bottles stand at the ready atop the refrigerator. Wish me good luck.

but absent. where does the time go

So I've been thinking about setting an intention to go cold turkey off Diet Coke on October 1 -- and thus to rediscover the joy of drinking water! I can't recall ever getting this much of a mental payoff from Diet Coke as I have in the past 4, going on 5, months. Pop, pop, fizz, fizz, oh, what a relief it is, etc. Now that October 1 approaches, however, I don't want to end the love affair, even though I know I should. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, let me say this. It is my intention to set an intention to get off the stuff. Amen.

Good to see your post today, Camille! Is your "status quo" as deflated as it sounds? Hope not. Walking and stairs sound terrific. Waiting for you and Leslie to join me in "Afterland." No surprise: it's slippery.

Unexpected outcome of losing weight:  Some of the clothes I eagerly placed in a pile to donate or to sell on eBay have found their way back into my closet. Not too many, though, thankfully. Often I have to try on a garment in order to describe it accurately for eBay buyers. Thus, the slight regression. Suddenly, th pants or the top are looking good again. But overall I've discarded SO MUCH. Besides, if given the choice between a slim closet or a slim "me," my answer is a no-brainer. Slim me.

Hi Girls

Feeling grateful that I am "status quo".  Walked yesterday, gardening today, lots of stairs, too.  Not enough, but something.  Recommit several times a day every day.  Let's go, Sisters.
