In my drive to eat healthier, I've now abandoned chips from my lunch... :sweat:

Six months ago, I stopped having sodas with my lunch... :puppydog:


So much for being an epicure. :puppydog:

It was tough the first couple of weeks, but now I'm over it.

Now I've got 4-5 12-packs of soda in my pantry that are gathering dust.


It's gonna be a lot tougher giving up the chips. *upper lip twitches uncontrollably*

when you say give up soda.. do you mean.. like not one drop of soda since god knows when?

and are you going to do the total ban on chips too??



:sweat:

ate half a bag of spicy nacho doritos yesterday. :woot:
it was a treat for having my hands all cut up.

Pretty close.

I've had a soda or two when eating out (I don't drink much at all), but that's about it... And I wouldn't drink a diet soda if I was dying of thirst. :bleh:

and are you going to do the total ban on chips too??

Yup.

No chips in the house, no temptation.

The withdrawal symptoms should start later today...

are all the health related practices stemming from that disc of yours?

Nope, not disc-related.

More related to my blood test which revealed that my cholesterol level was 260 (norm is <=200) and blood pressure was high normal (135/80). :bleh:

Did I miss something krim? How did you get your hands all cut up? :confused:

im helping my sister/bro-in-law build their house. lots of splinters from putting up the garage and master bedroom roof, and since their property in a canyon, there's alot of steel reinforcement, with sharp edges.

but at least i haven't shot myself in the foot with the nail gun. :hehe:

Sodium makes you retain water in your body... You'll just get bloated.

Yes I remember that you mentioned that construction before. I hope all goes well with it! :victory: Hmmm yeah keep that nail gun away from the lower part of your body. :bonk: :hehe:

So you ate those spicy nacho doritos because of your cut up hands krim. So what was my excuse for eating a whole bag of microwave popcorn by myself yesterday? Hmmm lets see...I was staring at Johhny Depp on the Golden Globes Award show last night? Noooo that wasn't it! It was freezing outside so I stayed in all day and watched a lot of TV? Noooo that wasn't it! I am going for root canal surgery tomorrow so I was stocking up on eating salty and crunchy food before my mouth becomes numb? Yeah thats it!!!!!! :crazy: :hehe: :hehe:

There's a guy here at work who's doing the same thing...










Only he's getting a colonoscopy in a couple of days. :sweat: :sweat:

I had them on for most of the day, but it actually slows me down, my fingers are shorter than average, so the gloves never fit right and i get this excess at the tips, very annoying when picking up nails and such.

the only thing that makes me bloated is drinking gatorade. :sweat:
I dont normally retain water, i feel, probably cause of a high sodium diet. bad i know.
