224!!!!!

That is what the scale read yesterday morning. I was so excited. That meant I was officially down 13 pounds from where I originally started. I was either wrong. The scale was off somehow or my body retains water extremely well when drinking soda. See I hadn't had any soda for about a day and a half when I weighed myself and saw that wonderful number. Yesterday I was stressed because my car broke down, so I went for a walk. Right down to the local convenience store and bought me four 16 ounce bottles of Pepsi! I didn't drink them all. About 2 and a half yesterday and one this morning. I weighed myself this morning just to see if maybe I was dreaming when I read the scale yesterday. I must have been because it read 228.4. That is almost 4 1/2 pounds from yesterday to today. I know our bodies fluctuate by like 3 pounds on a daily basis. But this is ridiculous. So I am trying something out. I am not drinking any more soda for the rest of the day today and not drinking any tomorrow to see if it is really my body retaining water or if it was just a fluke!!!!!!
