As many of you know I have been doing the Wii Active 30 day Challenge this whole month. So far I have lost 6" in my chest and waist and 5" in my thighs, but honestly I have been a little down about the whole experience because obviouslly I am toning, but my stomach just kept on getting bigger and bigger and I was gaining weight instead of losing it.
Yesterday I woke up with the worst sore throat. I could barely breath it hurt so bad, I just couldn't figure out what was wrong. When I went home from work, I did my active excerises and it made my throat worse.
I was sitting down at dinner talking to my husband and I told him how much it hurt and he asked if I dehydrated. Well I didn't know so I sent one of the kids to get me a propel from the fridge (I drink Diet Pepsi all day, nothing else just Diet Pepsi). I drank the Propel and my throat stopped hurting for about 15 minutes and then it just came back. So I drank another one, throat stopped hurting for about an hour, so I drank another one.
Got up this morning the swelling in my stomach is gone, got on the scale, lost 5 pounds. So on my way out I grabbed a Propel and a Diet Pepsi. Guess when you are excerising you require more water and Diet Pepsi just doesn't do it.
Have you ever done something so silly and just didn't realize it?

WOW that is awesome that you have lost that many inches. Even though I exercise you know I thought diet sprite was good but I would only hold my weight, but when I do nothing but drink water all day I have been losing about 1.5 lbs a day. I am down 12lbs since the beginning of this month. I am soooo excited. Go US!

Congradulations that is great! I have to drink Diet Pepsi (well caffine) it fights the MS fatigue, but now I am supplementing with Propel and I will see how the rest of the 30 Day Challenge goes.
I feel so much better now that I can see the change rather than having to measure to see it. :D Good luck with your weight loss.
