We went camping this weekend (brrrr) at a KOA on the coast of Oregon. It was cold and rainy and I had to walk a mile to the bathroom. Well, OK, it was 1/4 mile round trip but at 3am it seemed longer. My son and I swam in the pool about 1 1/2 hours the first day and about 4 hours total the 2nd day. This was interdispersed with trips to the hottub. Anyway, I was so thirsty from baking in the hottub that I grabbed my diet rite and slammed it down. When I put it down, I realized it was my husband's Pepsi!! I quickly contemplated divorce, but realized that wouldn't help. On Thursday I had lost 3 lbs and now I gained it back! So my first week I lost nothing! I did not dwell on the Pepsi episode, so I didn't continue to cheat but its a bit disheartening. I hope to do better this week, and I will be sure to look at the can before I drink! I don't feel like a cheater but I was. Oh well, fresh start this week!

Things in life are going to happen and you've got a great attitude about what happened. It's not whether we fall that matters...it's whether we get back up from the fall and keep on trying! This way of eating will work for you as long as you keep trying.

Pepsi? Being a Coke drinker that in itself would have done me in. The Hot tub sounds great I would love to spend the day cooking away. It must have been disheartning to have tried so hard only to have an accidental gulp take it all away, but look at the bright side you have climbed out of the hot water and are ready to go again and this week will be better you will look before you drink and dive. Sorry it is one of those days.

ewwww PEPSI! blech! lol

Where in the world is it warm enough to go swimming on a camp ground??? Australia sure but Washington???? no way!

well... hey, as long as it didnt make you go cheat crazy I think you are fine!

Stuff happens! Stick in there and you will win.
