Three things:

1.  My pop and chips fast – broken but not forgotten. As I mentioned elsewhere (maybe once here too, but I honestly forget if I did or not), I started to make a couple of health changes by giving up pop (or soda, if you like).  I made it 143 days without pop (Diet Pepsi being my former soft drink of choice) before trying it again this weekend.  I haven’t eaten any potato chips in about 110 days.  That’s not to say that I’ve been eating an extremely healthy diet, but it has been a bit better.  Giving up these two foods was an exercise in developing some will power and in building good habits.  I had Diet Pepsi three days in a row and I can honestly say that it doesn’t hold the same appeal that it used to have.  Back to water.  Thank goodness.

2.  I turned 40 on Saturday, May 30. I was fretting about this.  Then it actually happened and it wasn’t that big of a deal.  I don’t feel any different, nor should anyone really expect to feel much different when one day changes to another.  Life goes on.  Thank goodness.   Onward.

3.  Did I mention a third thing?  Yes, I did.  But I’m going to put off writing it until my next blog post, because it’s a significant development (a health issue) that deserves its own post.  So stay tuned for another update – soon!
