So I gained weight. Hmmm… I used hot sauce in my blackeyed peas rather than putting cheese on them. I ate my apple at lunch with my Ramen. I played Wii for an hour, jumping up and sitting down, swinging my batting / tennis / bowling arm wildly.
I also had a Mountain Dew. Yep. It is true. My number one rule of losing weight is to NOT drink sodas. At all. And after lunch yesterday in the middle of snowy day, I did. A 12 ounce can of Mountain Dew. While I do not that the soda alone will destroy any other efforts, it will destroy the little efforts I am making. I am trying to improve one percent a day. Drinking Mountain Dew, with 110 calories per serving… OH and that is an 8 ounce serving. So a 12 ounce can has 165 calories. AND… here is the kicker… 43.5 grams of sugar. WHAT? Can that be right? 29 grams of sugar for one 8 oz serving. One 12 oz serving is 1.5 times that. 43.5! A regular size snickers bar has 30. Wow. That is a lot of sugar.
226.2. Yep. Mountain Dew.
