Day two of withdrawel was a TOUGH one. I had some major school board business and stress going on yesterday and I just need to tell you that a Diet Coke would have been heavenly. I mean, really, it was very stressful and all I wanted was a little piece of normalcy in my day. But deep down, I knew that I could not give in. It was a little wake up call that indeed I was an addict if I couldn't "make it" through the day without one.

So you know what....I did not buy one. I did not drink one. And by the time I got home, while exhausted and a smidge overwhelmed, I was triumphant over my friend Diet Coke.

And today, I'm down 4.5 pounds in two days! With only a few weeks until Aruba....WOOT!
