I think when you frame it like that (30 of your 57 points) and the benefits you will get from eating healthy foods it seems like a no brainer to kick the coke habit. With that said, I prefer a Pepsi or Coke over an actual dessert, they taste that good to me.
I also agree with Weight Watchers and others on the 1-2 pounds per week goal.
I cut way back on caffeine recently and some days I don't consume any. Some days one 12oz soft drink and some days maybe a couple of Bourbon and Coke/Pepsi. More fruit for me too, I just bought some strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
The 3rd base ump called a ball foul and the home plate ump came out and overruled him. They showed a replay, super close call, but any way you cut it both close calls went against Simon Kenton and for Russell County.
2-1 RC bottom of the 2nd.
The sound is fine for me now, the announcers are talking about the bad call, and the video of the batters is overexposed. The video pointing out at the field is fine.
On sugar, many experts compare it to cocaine (or other recreational drugs) because eating sugar releases opioids and dopamine in our bodies and sugar has similar effects on our brains. I am glad to hear you are consuming less sugar and hopefully at some point you can cut all the pop out.
I am not qualified to give any type of medical advice but 265 seems very aggressive. I like 299 as your year end goal and 265 a year from today.
