I know I shouldn’t be proud of this but I have consumed 12,187.50 gallons of Coca Cola in my life. But you have to give me props for that amazing feat.  I have spoken about this addiction before here on my blog. You can use my search box to find the other posts.

Having a recent scare with my glucose test results going through the roof, and a few other factors have caused me to go cold turkey on my obsession with my favorite beverage. I have gone for 90 days without that sweet nectar. I have lost 30 total pounds during this time frame. Yes, you might see me tip-toeing around now that I’m a bit lighter. But I still have quite a few more pounds to go.

As many people say, “it’s hell to get old.” My body may have gotten out of hand but my mind is still young and probably still in the gutter. I can’t keep up the pace as I use to and yardwork is getting tougher to keep up with the neighbors. Thank god for my riding tractor it does save me a lot of time.

I did try the weight loss weekly shots and they do help but the cost is out of this world. You also have to wonder what will the long-term side effects will be. My doctor did give me some steroids recently for my spine and I really felt “Strong like Bull.” But you can’t stay on those long.

So I’m taking it one day at a time, a bit more walking, and my morning special drink. Maybe I should finally use some of the exercise equipment holding up all those boxes in the garage. I hate to do that as they do such a great job with those boxes and clothing hanging on them.

More importantly, I still get my stress release yelling at all the incompetent drivers out there on the highway.

Oh, I think my dealer for my addiction McDonald’s, their stock has gone down a bit since I have gone through recovery.
