Day 1

Day one is finally drawing to a close and I have successfully gone 24hours without a soda. I wish you could truly understand just how huge this is for me. I am so unbelievably proud of myself. I must admit that I almost hiccuped today at the grocery store. While picking up a few things I found myself walking down the soda isle on the way to check out. Instinctively I went to grab a 2liter of DP for the cart only to soon realize, oh yeah, that is definitely a no-go. It was crazy how it was just a simple reflex for me to buy soda. How depressing, when did I get to this place? I am so glad I made the decision to ditch the dang thing. Here was me this morning through my first soda withdraw...


On a much brighter note, I went roller blading today. Remember when that sounded like fun? Definitely NOT the case any longer. I thought it would be a good way to enjoy the holiday and the weather in Flag was so beautiful today. It was only about 5 minutes into the ordeal that I realized that instead of roller blading, I was not so gracefully flailing about, resembling more of a dying pigeon on wheels than a roller blader. I am not old so how is it that physically I am incapable of doing "leisurely" activities such as roller blading, like I did when I was a kid? Any of you find that you are incapable of doing things now that you could when you were a kid? Give me some motivation here and tell me about them... Me? Roller blading for one; walking barefoot anywhere, jumping on a pogo stick, riding a bike with no hands, riding a bike at all, the list truly goes on. Share your experiences so we can all laugh about it together. Well, this is it for me. I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day. Here is how Rush celebrated it;


Dang. He is cute huh? Such a little heart throb!
