Today I woke up and did not go to the gym because Peyton had a random rough night last night. So Jake and I tagged team her and we were able to sleep in a little. Following that we all got ready for the morning and we went over to Mandy's house for joy school. Kristi and I did get my ONE REFRESHING BEVERAGE FROM MCDONALDS before the joy school.
My thoughts on the drink today:
As the McDonald's employee handed me the two sodas I knew I had to pick the best one of the two. I picked the one that had a little more ice in it because it almost made the noise "Pick me...I'm better than the other soda" as the ice gingled back and forth in the cup. My lips partook of the delicious soda and I knew it was going to be a struggle not to get another one later. The filtered carbonated water just danced down my throat and the delicious Dr. pepper syrup immediately told my taste buds that they were happy. I enjoyed the majorty of the refreshing beverage but did leave about 5 oz. of watered down soda at the bottom. As I threw away the cup I promised myself that I could love again and I could have another refreshing beverage tomorrow.
UPDATE AT 4:40pm.....FAILED. Kristi offered to buy me a refreshing beverage and I was weak. I took her up on her invitation. So Day 1.....Failed. The good thing is that I only got 2 today. Some days it could be 3 or 4....I know....super crazy!

I did offer her a soda, she could have said no. She could have gone into the pantry and opened up the can and start to drink it and be a good example for me and show me how important it is that I also save money.
True sisterly love. Well at least you're honest. Keep at it! I know you can do it and you'll feel so much better, after you get over the initial withdrawl.
My sister is of the devil. She knew I had a moment of weakness. I did partake because she was so nice about it. Here is how it went down:
Kristi- "Sister, you look tired and worn out. Maybe a soda would help you out?
Laura- "Yes, it would but I am trying to be good. I will just get a can of soda"
Kristi- "Why when being bad is so much fun? Plus if you drink a refreshing beverage it will give you magical powers. Also, all of the cans of soda have E-coli in them so you can't drink a can."
Laura- "Okay, maybe just a sip. I am tired from cleaning and doing service all day while you just sat around."
Kristi- "I will buy you one."
No this is how it went down. Laura was telling her friend I really would love a refreshing beverage. So I thought well so do I. So I volunteered to buy her one , she could have said no I would rather deal with my children without the refreshing beverage. But she can't so she jumped at the chance. I have never seen her get in the car so fast.
I remembered Kristi shoving me to my car and demanding me to drive her over to McDonalds. I worried about my kids safety so I did go and get a soda.
I'm not going to lie...it was delicious.
This is exactly what happens to me when I try to stop eating so much chocolate! Chocolate is my refreshing snack. And usually the conversation that makes me give in happens in my head with myself...
