coke

my name is chloe and my last drink was 45 days ago.

hahaha! i sound like an alcoholic. but i finally got to drink coke after 45 days. yes, i lasted that long. if you know me, that is such a mean feat. anyone who knows me knows how much i love to drink coke. i don't drink coke zero or coke light but the real thing. after all, if i had to get fat from drinking softdrinks, i might as well get enjoy it. and man, is coke delicious!

but part of my new year's resolution is to stop drinking coke. and i did, for 45 days that is. during our most recent trip, the bf and i went to the supplier's office and he was given snacks of bread and coke. he shared it with me. i told him i wasn't drinking but he said i'll only get to drink half. ahhh, i felt like an addict. it tasted so great that i wanted more. but of course i didn't. i did share the 8 oz. bottle of coke with him and drank lots of water afterward.

because i remembered the taste of coke, i was thinking of drinking coke on sundays, you know as a cheat day. but i didn't and haven't. i guess i'll drink coke again in 45 days. = )

sticking to it!

i haven't blogged in a while because i had to travel and then i still had to work when we got back. anyway, i'm back!

this post is in connection with the trip. you see, i made a new year's resolution to lessen my dessert intake and to not drink coke anymore. i tried my best to accomplish the two and i did. much as i love cakes and chocolates and coke, i really avoided it. i stuck to water and ate a piece of candy if i craved something sweet. if i had to drink a beverage other than water, i chose iced tea instead. my mom even said "we'll see" when i told her of my resolution because she knows how much i love coke and desserts.

however, on this trip, the bf wanted to test me. he would order coke zero when we ate because his doctor it was okay. because i only drank water, he would ask me to finish off his drink. i vehemently say no but he insists and says there's no sugar anyway. i had to drink part of it. ugh! what's worse is that i had to eat dessert. i have always said i don't particularly love seafoods. well on one occassion (still on this trip), we ate at a seafood restaurant. the bf couldn't eat anything fried so we had grilled blue marlin, grilled squid and tinolang lapu-lapu. i wasn't completely satisfied with the meal since i wanted to eat pork or beef. to fill my hunger, i got dessert which was icebox cake. it was sinfully delicous and i felt totally content after.

on the trip home, i was kind of sad knowing i broke my resolution. but it's not as if i had a choice, so i didn't think of it anymore. unfortunately, i was rudely reminded of my transgression when i woke up in the middle of the night with a very sore throat. i couldn't sleep properly and had to take medication to lessen the pain. as of now, i'm back to the diet and i intend to stick with it. promise!
