Yesterday was tough. Not only did I not get enough sleep but I also ran out of Diet Pepsi. For years I was addicted to the stuff but beat the habit when I lived in France and it was not readily available. For many years I have been DP sober until recently. I am off the wagon big time. Now I am buying it 36 cans at a time at Costco. When I ran out I decided it would be a good time to quit. This was about the same time as the end of Halloween (aka big time candy withdraw). Needless to say I woke up with a WICKED headache on Friday morning that not even a large latte would fix. I made it about six hours before I HAD to go to HEB for the DP fix. Sad, sad, sad.So today I tried to start counteracting all these bad things I have been putting into my body by joining the Y and swimming. It felt great to exercise again after such a long absence. And I think swimming is probably the best exercise for lactating women because no one can tell if your milk is leaking. The chlorinated water probably tastes funnier with breast milk floating in it, but I doubt anyone is swallowing the pool water. Or at least I hope not.
