I started losing weight in 2008 and over the next two years lost 106 pounds. In 2010 my life changed when I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Over the next two years I gained back 100 pounds. I'm taking my life back. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is my fresh start and it can be yours too.

The No Soda Showdown
Yesterday my brother had an idea and asked me if I wanted to give up soda with him starting today. It's something I've been wanting to do, so I said sure. He loves Mountain Dew and I love Diet Coke. I used to love Dr. Pepper, but gave that up years ago. Whoever gives in first and drinks a soda has to buy the other person a CD. You are going down Big Brother. Hmmmm, I wonder what CD I'll get? Any suggestions. I love Christian hip/hop, dance music, and anything good to workout to. Leave a comment with any suggestions.
My brother loves Dew as you can tell. He even wrote a poem about it years ago. Here it is:
An Ode to Dew
Do I have my Dew?
I do!
Do I do my Dew?
I do!
I do my Dew,
And Dew my do,
I cannot do
Without my Dew.
For when I Dew
I better do,
So when I must do
I do Dew too!
Without my Dew,
I cannot do,
I cannot do,
Without my Dew.
So I Dew
It’s true, It’s true!
It’s true that I will
Do my Dew!
Yes!
To my Dew,
I am true,
To my Dew,
And not a few!
Do I do a Dew?
Do I do two Dews?
Two Dews I do!
Two Dews I do!
I do two Dews
Yes, it’s true!
When I do a Dew or two,
Then I do another Dew,
Another Dew I do it’s true,
The Dews I do are not a few!
If do a Dew that’s not so new
Then do Dews on Dews on Dews,
To undo Dew that wasn’t new,
For do not do Dews that are not new!
A true Dew? Not new? Not true!
Dew not new? Do NOT Do!
Do not do a Dew not new!
Well, I did my Dew,
My Dew I did,
My Dew is empty,
My Dew is rid.
I did rid my Dew I did.
Can’t do Dew if Dew is did!
If Dew is did, no more to drink,
Then no more poem I can think.
If no more think from no more drink,
Then no more Dew to run my head,
I did the Dew, now do the bed.
Game on BIG BROTHER!!

Hi Melissa!
Karl has WAY too much time on his hands. :)
Glad you found my blog! I'm looking forward to keeping up with you through yours, too. (I think I knew you had one, but that was in my pre-blogging days -- now I'm on it!)

You are sooooo going down! Check out MY blog post that I did before I saw yours: http://kidologist.com/?p=962
Hey Melissa I gave up Diet Coke 6 weeks ago. I cannot begin to tell you how hard those first few days were. Now I hardly miss it. Just be careful what you substitute in it's place. Good luck to you both!
I'm only drinking water rigght now. It's not as hard as I thought it might be. What are you drinking instead?
