I think it's the top one. Copy that code. Then paste it into your blog and save it. It shows up as just letters etc, but when you save the blog and then go view it, it should show up.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526466324237785391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-63564148197087132132008-05-16T11:42:00.000-04:002008-05-16T11:42:00.000-04:00Thanks for all the amazing comments guys.

I can't believe I've actually gotten this far. :) Hopefully it will keep going. <BR/>Gar- I'm glad you think that I make class more entertaining. :) I try. <BR/><BR/>Cara- I'm down 11.5 lbs. :) Thanks for noticing. :) Hopefully again, I'll keep going. <BR/><BR/>Georgia- Truly was addicted. I couldn't go without it. I got headaches when I tried. That's why I'm kicking it now. I do on occassion crave Sprite, 7-up, or Gingerale but no longer Coke. I miss it, but Gar's point about cleaning his scuba gear kinda gives me the willies.<BR/><BR/>Kim- Don't sweat the marshmallow. I caved last night and had ice cream. First time in awhile on the sweets. <BR/><BR/>Adrienne- Thanks for the encouragement with the Coke. I'm going to try to stick with it. I don't remember that conversation with Cara but I'll def take your word on it. :) Thanks for all the kudos, but you're still kicking my backside all over the place. You are truly an inspiration. It takes me two hands to use a 35 lb kb, you use one! Girl... you belong in the Glory Box video! :) I'm going to keep chasing you... maybe one day I'll get there... ;)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526466324237785391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-68642435486386466282008-05-16T11:38:00.000-04:002008-05-16T11:38:00.000-04:00Help!

I want to remind you of a conversation you had a few months ago with Cara over facebook. You said you couldn't wait until you could lift as much (if not more) than me. <BR/>Well, you did it sister and in a beautiful way. I think if we were going to award a kick butt trophy yesterday.. you would have won!!!<BR/><BR/>Also, awesome job on kicking the Coke! The first few weeks just suck ass. I drank an unbelievable amount of tea. Try not to replace it with sweets (that was tough for me). I'm now over 3 months of being Diet Coke free and I can honestly say it gets MUCH easier!!<BR/><BR/>Great Job.

Your body must feel so much better now. <BR/><BR/>Gar's science experiment is really scary, too. Think about THAT the next time you crave a soda of any sort. Blech.<BR/><BR/>PS - I still drink Root Beer or Dr. Pepper as a very, very special treat...maybe once or twice a year. And it's soooo good...georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318705838821448103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-62712520542895791582008-05-16T09:26:00.000-04:002008-05-16T09:26:00.000-04:00Besides my one slip while camping I have been good...Besides my one slip while camping I have been good. I had to have a roasted marshmallow because I didn't want to hurt anyones feelings by not eating it. Brian said that was the crack of all sugar. So I guess it was a big slip. <BR/>There is a plastic cake in the play and I often think of taking a bite!! Not that I am counting down, but there are only 13 more days until this deal is over. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-73400334605437551942008-05-16T09:05:00.000-04:002008-05-16T09:05:00.000-04:00Looks like today made 5 days in CFOT.

I started using Coke to clean my dive gear after SCUBA trips, and it worked! After a week of diving in saltwater, your stainless steel gets rusty (especially knives). It is a pain to clean. After one trip I remembered a story I heard about the effect of putting a nail in Coke over night. I tried it with my dive gear. The next morning the rust wiped right off. Since then, I have not been as excited about Coke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-3114618938448894002008-05-16T09:03:00.000-04:002008-05-16T09:03:00.000-04:00Hey Katie - just wanted to let you know that you l...Hey Katie - just wanted to let you know that you look GREAT in that video - can definitley tell you've lost weight! :-) Keep it up!Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712789547041614797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-68078410024354003252008-05-15T20:01:00.000-04:002008-05-15T20:01:00.000-04:00Awww... shucks.
