Day 7 - Why are things difficult?

Wow - what a day!

The final steps for school.  What a pain in the ass.  I had to do a drug test, sit with financial advisor.  It's going to cost a fair amount of money to get my degree.  I'm not sure I can come up with enough.

I ran with the CARA running group this evening - ran 3.14 miles.  With 3 small breaks (getting water, waiting for green lights).  Glad I made it.

No soda today, not with any urge to have it either.  What I am finding however is this headache is remaining and well now my jaw hurts because I keep gritting my teeth so much.

Day 6

No Soda Today -
But I did lots of Laundry - 7 Loads.  I also fixed the lamp in the living room.  Nothing exciting.

Day 5 - The Headaches begin

So I've been drinking coffee to try to conteract the caffine headaches that are notorious for.  It's a very dull headache at the moment - just enough to drain energy.  Hopefully this will only last for about another 3 or 4 days. 

Today I go some good news from Chamberlain though - they accpeted 23 of my credits.  So that knocks out 1 maybe 2 semesters cost.  I may still have to go the same amount of time, but I just won't pay as much - woohoo!  Tonight is my second to last night at SAM.  I'm a little sad, but glad that I won't have to drive all that way to work anymore.  Although I am going to try and take the CTA as much as possible over the next 6months and try and save $250-$300 a month. 

I didn't get to run today, one I was really LAZY today, just laid around, but also I took Bertie for a walk and left the keys in the house so I was out for 2 hours with her.  OOOPS - oh well.

Day 4

Okay - so I want a soda!  I went to get a dinner and brought back a can of Coke that I gave a way.  So I'm sticking with it - but man, I wanted that Coke.   

I also went for a run this evening, 2.25miles at about 10:45 - so that's pretty good. 

Now I'm tired.  Today was my last day as HUC on 3South at St Anthony's.  Glad it's done.

Day 3

No Soda today either...

Derfinitely more of a remembering game.  It is such a natural reaction to grab a Diet Coke or Coke Zero when I'm thirsty.  It has more to do with convenience then it does anything else. 

Shannon Elkins - "Are you gay?"  His question on Survivor tonight pissed me off! I'm starting to wonder if Shannon Elkins is gay and a little upset that maybe his boy Chase was more of a crush than anything else so when Chase chose to remain aligned with Brenda he got pissed.  Oh yeah - what in the hell is up with those HUGE nipples - :)

Only 3 more days at St. Anthony's - I'm really hoping that Betty the Jeep last!  She's struggling and it makes me sad.

Day 2

Ran into Lucy today - the girl that referred me to Chamberlain for Nursing.  She seems like a really nice girl - so I'm hoping that we can become good friends and maybe study buddies!  I have work tonight and I don't want to go.  but go I must - only 4 more days of this drive.  WOOHOO!  Then start the new job on the 4th.  Wow that's really fast now that I think of it.  UGH

So today I ran for a wopping 1.25miles at 11min mile.  I think I need new shoes or something.

No soda today either - YAY!  Although I kept having to remind myself that I couldn't buy one at work last night.  It will all be good and I will do this. 

Day 1

So this is day 1, of no sodas for me.  I'm going to go 1 year without any carbonated drinks.  I also want to keep track of somethings going on in my life on her as well.  There may be days where all I type is "No Soda" - and that's okay!
