Mrs. G's Journey to Better Health

I WAS going to go home and do work.... but they are still doing construction at the entry point to my place. Breaking up cement sidewalk all the way up to my 1st step. *sigh* Decided to do some studying while enjoying my tea... and a healthy bar.  #MakingLemonadeOutOfLemons

What a day! We did the traditional Easter Sunday stuff, but we also did our own tradition fun. We went on a family hunt, not for Easter eggs, for Geocaches! We found a few here and there. We enjoyed the outdoors, the views and even the beautiful blooms. My allergies were not too happy, but it was fun. Could end the day without a little hike for with our 4 legged kids too. Up and down searching for bunnies and lizards.  All that walking around and extremely thankful my knees no longer need icing like they used to do not soo long ago. Doing the happy dance I can enjoy more out of life

  Two years ago I would drink a 2 liter bottle of soda throughout a day. Maybe I’d drink ONE cup of plain water here and there, but definitely not every day. A little over a year ago I stopped, more like paused. I would drink 12oz of soda a week. Everyday I would drink lots of ice tea, and some water. Drinking water was a challenge, and drinking 64oz of plain water a day did not always happen. I thought I’d always be stuck drinking ice tea and sneaking a little soda here and there. I am sooo pleased to say I was wrong. A few days ago I went away on a little trip. I did a lot of walking, exercise. I averaged 18K steps a day. On my last day out, I walked so much that I felt I could drink some soda guilt free. I intentionally and confidently grabbed a soda. I was looking forward to that ice cold soda with the carbonation bubbles popping and lightly splashing my face while I drank it. I took a sip. Nope. One more sip, *insert buzzer sound here* I hav
