Resolution #2

Stop drinking sodas. I had this same resolution like 5 or 6 years ago. I used to be a manager of a store in the mall. I was friends with the manager of Swensens, the ice cream shop. He was always hooking me up with free sodas. I would drink 5 huge cups of the stuff during a single work day. I eventually realized that it couldn't be good for me, and gave up all sweet drinks. Doing that alone, with no extra workout or diet, I lost 20 pounds in one month.

I actually stuck with that resolution for quite a while. I eventually got a job that has free sodas in the fridge, and I would slip one in here and there. Now I just drink them whenever. I'm not near as bad as I used to be, but I could definitely go without. So I am going back to the old standard. No sodas. I also drink my coffee and tea without sugars. If I get the urge for something bubbly, I drink Topo Chico mineral water. I love the stuff. The only drinks I'll have with sugar in them are orange juice and booze. And as far as booze goes, I am now a very light drinker. This resolution should be easy peasy.

An update on resolution #1. I decided earlier today that I was going to not try to get one of the Tim Doyle LOST posters. I just need to not spend that kind of money right now on a poster. I know they are super collectible and going for $250 plus on eBay right now, but it's not like I would sell it anyways. Self restraint wins! Well, this was all when I assumed that the posters were going to be $50, like they were when they first went on sale. It turns out that they were almost $200. YIKES! I'm glad I had decided against it already to save myself a broken heart. $200 is just too rich for my blood.
