So here's the deal. I'm on the home stretch of being completely done with phase two of this diet!! I am so incredibly happy with the results. I'm hoping for a big mile stone to be hit by Monday and then I will just be over joyed.

Here's the skinny on this past couple of days.

5 in 5 - that's the big goal and if I stay focused I know I can do it.

I've been wondering throughout this entire process how alcohol effect you with the medicine. There have been ALOT of functions that i've had to "opt-out" of drinking. This probably has been one of the harder things for me. Now, let me clarify....I'm not an alcoholic and I really don't drink that much but I have noticed that there are alot of summer parties and with that drinking is there. That being said, I found out last night what it does to you. I had a client meeting and drinking was going to be a must. I had tried to figure out a way, so I plotted with my roommates on what to do. We came up with Vodka Water. This would be the simplest solution, we however, didn't take into account that it's been an extended period of time since I drank last. Do you see where this is going?!? This morning was brutal, I still can not believe how I felt and that at 2:30pm I still feel a little drunk. It's probably making it worse that I really didn't have food in my system before I started drinking; drinking rule #1 broken. And when I finally did eat, it was bar food. Nothing on the diet what-so-ever! drinking rule #26 broken.

I honestly don't ever want to drink again! Now, I know this may (will) change but for now and on the next round of this, drinking is out. It causes too much damage.

Blonde moment of the day: I'm struggling today and I wish I could blame this on that, but it's not going to be that easy. See I didn't just make this mistake today, I also made it in NYC a couple of weekends ago while Kev and Alicia were here. Sprite. I thought I was doing really good. Only on two occasions have I had anything other than water/tea/coffee to drink (excluding the alcohol last night). I needed a pick me up to get me over the hump of this hangover. I mean trying to draw in AutoCAD is not easy when the room is spinning and your head is pounding and your body hates you. I go to the Farm and I almost opted for a coke, but after surveying my options I went with the sprite - no caffeine, the obvious choice.....WRONG. Until I was talking with Shannon, I didn't realize that sprite has a butt load of Sugar in it!! I was mortified, that's why i didn't get the G2.
