We were cracking up in the photo because Bailey (my 10 year old) told his Dad to quit making face and Michael replied "I'm not making faces Bailey, this is my face." It was so comical.Alana Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279397754046749463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164219169176050697.post-15223217026063719572012-05-08T13:12:10.961-04:002012-05-08T13:12:10.961-04:00I'm glad to hear that I am not alone with thes...I'm glad to hear that I am not alone with these insane TOM weight spikes. <br /><br />I hope you have a great week 7 as well!Alana Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279397754046749463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164219169176050697.post-8737346935409761362012-05-08T13:04:43.686-04:002012-05-08T13:04:43.686-04:00Good luck on your hikes.

My...Good luck on your hikes. They can be so fun!!!<br /><br />My Diet Coke consumption has been reduced dramatically. In the past I drank Diet Coke all day long. No water, milk, etc. Just Diet Coke. On Jan. 1, I decided to let go of the habit. I started to wean myself off. Like 3 the first day, two the next, one the next, etc. That way I didn't end up with massive migraines from the caffeine withdraw. Now I can skip a couple days and it is not an issue. I generally only have one Diet Coke a day if I do drink it and I get in at least 8 glasses of water a day. It is just a personal goal to go 3 days without it. It just hasn't happened.Alana Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279397754046749463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164219169176050697.post-21943885499253940382012-05-08T11:48:59.958-04:002012-05-08T11:48:59.958-04:00I would definitely take the loss!

When we are aware of them, it gets just a little bit easier to conquer them.<br />Love the picture, looks like you had a good time!Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206000400311224449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164219169176050697.post-49861088107201003392012-05-08T03:09:43.793-04:002012-05-08T03:09:43.793-04:00Oh girl, I feel you on the TOM bloating.

Just keep taking steps towards your goal. You mentioned that you didn't have Diet Coke yesterday (or the day before?) because it wasn't in the house - I truly do believe that if you don't want to have it, then removing the temptation in the first place is the way to go. Your body will get used to it ... if you give it the chance. Caffeine withdrawal headaches are terrible, but they're not going to to kill you ;) You have to convince yourself that you'll be fine without it ... and I know you will be! <br /><br />Good luck with week 7 :)PlumPetalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879841900594034234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164219169176050697.post-84755264974369231652012-05-07T17:55:45.560-04:002012-05-07T17:55:45.560-04:00Great picture!

Reducing my diet soda consumption is such a challenge, but I'm working on it.
