Diet Coke

Hey girlies! Sorry for not posting yesterday, I didn't really have much of a chance of a good post until ~10:30 and by that time I just didn't want to blog and decided to procrastinate. Yesterday had one theme: ACC BASKETBALL!!! Gosh I love basketball. I watched the UNC game (wohoo!) vs. virginia tech, the maryland-wake forest game, and the boston college-duke game. Uhhh, so close to winning! Boston college lost to duke by one and could have won it if the last shot went in. I honestly think the reason they lost was partly due to the coach. Their coach called two timeouts all in the relm of about the last 15 seconds! Just let your "club" play. They are good! And I think if he hadn't done that, they might have one. But oh well, UNC won. They play today and I really hope they win! It would be so much fun to beat Duke a third time this year :D

Fridays' foodies!

Breakfast: honey sunshine with a lovely banana

Lunch: (no pic, same as day before!!) cinnamon raisin PB sammy, pretzels, and an apple/clementine

During lunch we got to watch the UNC game and we managed to convince our next two classes teachers to let us watch it too. They earned some major points, hehe.

Snacks: yo+ yogurt, and the rest of the cinnamon PB jar

Dinner: two slices of veggie pizza

Snacks: the last bits of the cookie dough ice cream, and others that I cannot seem to remember!

Saturdays' foodies!

Breakfast: oatmeal consisting of:

• 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup milk
• brown sugar and cinnamon
• square of natural dark choc. cut into little pieces
• true north nuts
• smuckers natural PB

This bowl was definitely very tasty! I enjoyed every delectable bite. After finishing, I wasn't all that hungry, but wanted something "fresh." So I ate half of an apple. I needed that palate cleanser after all the PB. :)

Okay, now onto Title of this post. I don't know about you, but I just hate yucky preservatives and additives and things like that. During my worst times, I drank diet soda a lot. It filled me up with virtually no calories. I now only have a diet soda once, maybe twice (not usually) a week. I would really like to stop drinking them completely. Now, I do not think they are gonna kill you, or harm you in any way if you have one here and there. But for me, I feel that this habit is something I need to break. I really enjoy drinking water vs. soda. It makes me feel much better and healthier. I think sometimes that the main reason I have a diet soda is becuase I want something that will fill me up without any calories. That is clearly an unhealthy attitude and is one of the reasons that I find this habit as a "got to go" one. I had one yesterday and took pics of the ingredients. It was a really interesting list! I really hope I didn't offend anyone by what I have said. I certainly don't look down on anyone who drinks it on a daily basis!!! I love you all no matter what :)

So, what's your take on diet soda? If you drink it, do you drink it for the reason that I do it or do you enjoy it? I would love to hear all your thoughts. I am sure they will be amazing :)

Love you all!!!
