Rippin' A Page Out of a Borrowed Book

>>  Sunday, August 30, 2009


I've decided to try something...For Just One Week. This is not one of my ideas. In fact, just the opposite. I have ripped the idea, right out of the book belonging to a dear dear friend. This is about the point and time I would show her some linky love. The truth is, she knows who she is, and that I adore her so, and a link to her writings -or the lack of, would not prove that either way. But, I digress.

For Just One Week...I am going to refrain from soda. Soda of any kind. Specifically that sweet nectar, I like to call Pepsi. I consumed my last caffeine free Pepsi this morning, and am calling it quits -For Just One Week.

May the water gods be kind to me, and I find comfort in my earth friendly, resuable water bottle. Who knows, maybe one week will give me the strength to see myself through 2 weeks, maybe 3. For now, we will focus on the one!

I have been Diet Coke free for about 4 weeks now. I haven't been completely soda free, as I have been drinking Sprite when I have an upset stomach, but I can totally feel the difference.

good Luck that would be next to impossible for me.

I am so Proud of you!!!! Thankfully I lost my taste for soda fifteen years ago when I was pregnant w/our oldest son and never got it back, but I know how addictive it is. I love herbal tea so I've really gone to the dark side. Best of Luck, H.E. Your bones and skin will thank you.

you know what makes water taste divine and has no calories???

a little drop or 2 of vanilla stevia!

How are you doing with this? Are you surviving? Do you have the shakes? I'm thinking of you! You can do it!!

P.S. I'm not doing one this week. For lots of reasons, most of which I'm sure you can guess :)

Good luck on that one. I've tried it before, do a GREAT job and then for some reason fall back into that awful habit!

It's been one day so are you ok? I'll bet at a certain point you won't miss it. You're lucky you're not giving up the caffeine as well.

Good luck! If you're sick of water go get some of those water flavor packs you can add to your water bottles. I LOVE those! (My favorite is Ocean Sprays Cranberry and Special K or Crystal Light Pink Lemonade).

I know I'd go crazy obsessed if I had soda in my house so I've had to not buy it for a while but this summer while I was gone for literally 1 1/2 months I drank Diet Coke/Dr Pepper ALOT. When I got home I was crazy hooked and had really bad headaches. I couldnt' believe I was like that after only a month or so.

I'm impressed! Sorry for the novel.

No one would want to be around me if I stopped drinking Coke cold turkey. NO ONE!
