water where the soda used to be


Look at my pretty new water bottles, LOL! I am excited about them! The pink Camelbak one makes me want to fill it with milk (but I won't) because I think it would look even prettier with the white beverage inside :-) So far I have had 24oz. of water and have loved it! Having the Camelback with the bite valve (though it's weird to bite and suck, LOL) was convenient when I was feeding Katie this morning - because I could have it on the couch next to me and didn't have to worry about Ryan spilling it. There are so many times I'd like to have a drink but don't because it's not easy with the kids. So, I think I might favor that one so far. I do think I want to order at least one more.

I had realized that soda (besides being the most delicious drink in the whole word) was convenient because the cans were in the fridge, ice cold and easy to grab. So, with the purchase of these water bottles, I am trying to achieve the same thing. I think 3 will be better than 2, because right now I refilled the Camelbak and I might need it again before it's as cold as it can get.

I was drinking AT LEAST 6 cans of regular (caffeine free) soda a day - which is **900** calories!!!! And like I said, that was a minimum! SO, I am hoping that this change alone will help me lose a few pounds!
