Update on my progress:
This first part is HUGE for me... I haven't indulged in a soda (diet or regular) since Monday. Really struggled with some crabbiness this week. I have also taken myself off of coffee for awhile so it was complete caffeine deprivation - Ha! That being said, I have turned the corner on the headaches and feel much better.
I have been sticking with my commitment to eliminate the "whites" and to exercise faithfully. I believe that the exercise is what helped me to pull through the caffeine withdrawals as I would get a bit of an energy boost after each workout.
I am excited about this challenge and get a little jazzed each time I check the blog and see that someone has commented or updated. I know I do better sticking to my guns when there is an accountability factor involved.
I am looking forward to updating next week with (fingers crossed) some pounds lost. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Congrats on the soda/caffeine withdrawal! Next time you want a soda, just remind yourself that it is full of "empty calories" and you would rather use those calories on wholesome food. Glad the headaches have stopped. That is a big hurdle to overcome. --Cindy B.
Wow! Great job! Maybe I'll try the no caffeine this week. I have been sick and had not had coffee for three days now. I'll keep that up for the rest of this week. I do have low blood pressure--See what happens.
Thanks for your hard work and your determination--it is encouraging!

You know, you are an inspiration for me! I can´t believe you went off caffeine! even coffee there in Panama, that must be a big thing. ;) I know for me in Spain, I don´t go a day without coffee. I need to clean myself out.
Crunchin´it with ya,

Well, the original goal was just to cut out the diet sodas, but my coffee maker up and died on me one day into the challenge! Sooooo, until I can replace it we are doing without. It isn't so bad now, but the first couple of days were nasty! I do love my morning coffee :)
