You might see headlines over the next couple days like this:

“Heart risk of diet soda found equal”

The title is misleading, because at most, the study cited in the article found a correlation, not a causation between diet soda and heart disease. What also is misleading, is that the study only looked at soda consumption and didn’t correct for other lifestyle choices. All you can draw from this conclusion, in my opinion, is that diets soda alone is not enough of a lifestyle change to have an effect.

Hell Food, while preferring that people drink water when thirsty, still considers diet soda to be a viable alternative to regular soda as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

No, nothing is wrong with me. I haven’t been in an accident or suffered any disease. I’ve just not been able to eat and exercise like I normally had been because of our house remodel. I haven’t put on any weight back on, but I feel awful. So, I’ve decided to document my “Road to Recovery” as a learning tool and motivation for myself.

Morning
My air mattress quit on me, so I had to sleep on a cement floor with a small amount of padding. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep well, and didn’t have time for exercise. Damn. Now my back hears, and my abdomen muscles feel like garbage. So for breakfast, I’m having a bowl of grape-nuts with just a little soy milk. Hopefully, that will get my system on the way to recovery.
