Week 2 was marginally easier and yet not too much different from week 1. Here's the low down:
1) No Soda: only one soda this week - pretty darn good for a 6-8 soda a day girl! Oh wait, I forgot the 3 rum & cokes I had at Red Ball. Oh - but wait - those are counting in week 3. So - yeah this week, bummer for next!
2) Coffee: Kept right on this one all week, except the day after I only got 4.5 hours of sleep. Correlation? Heck yeah! Otherwise, I'm realizing many days I have coffee simply because it's habit. So, maybe I can cut this out altogether in March's goals??
3) Water: I really hate water! It's so PLAIN. And no fun at all. But, I'm trying! I can usually suck down two bottles, but sometimes it's a chore. Any thoughts on how to make this better/easier? And no, flavored water is just as bad (and usually has added calories and sometimes fake sugar as well!)
4) Sweets: So much better on this one - until Valentine's Day. That darn husband - trying to be so sweet and romantic and totally blowing the diet for that day and much of the next. *crying*
5) Workout: Getting better at this. I keep the handweights by the bed, so I can grab them on the way into bed or on the way out. Plus the 15 - 30 minutes or so on Sunday morning jumping around as I lead KidStuf is a definite workout! OH - and that sweet hubby from #4 above also brought in the treadmill finally - maybe he felt guilty over the chocolates...
6) Screen time: Still a challenge, but definitely better this week. Realized hanging out on the computer of boredom is no reason to be online. Books are better. Kid-time is best!
7) Sleep time: Better here as well. When I don't get tied up in a computer game or IM session, I get to sleep earlier! Go figure! I'm still a night owl though, so the thought of going to bed before midnight is just "wrong" somehow! But, I'm trying to switch to being an early bird...although worms suck almost as much as water... ;)
Thoughts on the water thing especially (and anything else you want to comment on) greatly appreciated.

What if you cut up some lemons, limes or even just berries and drop them in your water? It gives it flavor without any calories and can make the drink seem fun?
Also strange but true, after another few weeks of drinking water all the time you'll start to crave it.
I agree with Amanda. Once you get use to the water - you crave it. I can't go without it now and everything else tastes bad. I also like her idea of adding the fruit to the water. I'm big on the sugar free kool-aid & crystal light packets to add to the bottles.
Plus, if you can, leave the pop out of your house. Out of sight out of mind. I did that and now we're all drinking more water. If I did it, I know you can. You know what a big Mt. Dew drinker I was -- I'm still in recovery!
