I kind of want to try the new Dr Pepper flavor, even though as a kind of general rule I don't like that soda. But come on, cherry chocolate? it sounds good, at least. I'm sitting here drinking a Vanilla Coke right now, and it's still good, but I dunno... chocolate coke sounds pretty darn good, man.

My knee gave out earlier when my boyfriend came to pick me up at my mom's. I've been expecting it, so I managed to catch myself on my other leg, which is lucky (I've had a lot of experience falling and catching myself. My nickname is actually Grace - from both my mother AND my mother in law. And my mother in law didn't know about it until after I cracked up the first time I heard her say it.)

So, my knee hurts a bit. More to straighten out than anything else, but at least it isn't swelling. Hopefully by tomorrow it'll be fine, cuz I have to do another mile. But hey, at least it's only a mile, right? (At least I managed to get my 2 1/2 miles in today, cuz if I hadn't, I sure as hell wouldn't be doing them now that my knee hurts!)

I've noticed that since I started moving around more (even though I don't count most of it as exercise) my stomach has turned from firm fat (where it was obviously fat, but solid and didn't jiggle much) to jiggly jello fat. Which is disgusting. And it only motivates me more to get rid of it, although it also makes me kind of want to cry.

Tried one of my newer WATP dvds today... the one mile express instead of her one mile that comes with her book. Strangely, it was easier, because my hips didn't start to hurt. And it used a stretchie band at the end, too. I might take it with me to my mom's later if I go over, or I might do it again in a little bit. I'm not sure yet.

I'm actually really tired even though I got up around noon (I couldn't sleep last night and finally managed to pass out around 4.) First thing I did after taking a shower was to pop in my dvd! So I'm kind of proud of myself, because I'm a huge procrastinator.

I really do need some kind of pick me up though. Maybe I can make a cup of cocoa or something in a little bit, before I fall asleep.

Well, I kinda fell off the wagon. I'm sorry, but I really like my carbs. Especially bread and sweet stuff. But I'm back and I'm going to try better. I figure I won't be as strict with it, I'll do one meal or snack a day from Phase 2 and see if that helps any.

I got some Walk Away the Pounds dvds, and I've started doing them as of yesterday. I managed to do it twice yesterday but only once today, so I'm at 3 miles so far. It kind of makes my hips hurt a little, and the outsides of my calves/shins. Not sure why. But I figure I'll start doing heel stretches and stuff for my calves, and I'll figure something out for my hips.
