drink less pop

Sat= No Pop
Sun= 1 glass at dinner- around 18 oz?
Mon= No pop

I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time with this goal. I don’t think I’m addicted to pop, and I don’t know that I necessarily “crave” the sugar. More often than not, I fall back into drinking pop because I want to taste the flavor again. Maybe that has to do with the sugar..I don’t know. Starting tomorrow though, I am going to try this again.

I have ruined all progress on this goal since the last posting- no concentration on it at all. However, over the last two days I have had a couple pops and thought they made my stomach upset, therefore, I think the next couple of days will be easier to pass it up again. It’s just such a convenience, but there are so many other drinks that could be convenient also!

went Mon-Wed no pop, then had some at lunch today.

I went for all of Thur, Fri, and Sat. without drinking pop. I had some again tonight and was a little disappointed with myself. It seemed to be easier to pass it up the longer I went. We’ll see how this week goes. I’m not entirely sure if I want to drink less pop or give it up completely. I think it may be easier on my body to just give it up completely instead of depriving myself of it every couple of days.

with the exception of the occasional 2 liter that we bring home with pizza..we haven’t purchased cans of pop to have at home for about two months. That has been helpful. I have one can at work usually (vending machine) and then water or milk the rest of the day. Once I start supplying myself with water at work I think this will go better.

I might try 6 oz cans for this. Generally I only make it 1/2 way through a 12 oz before I move on to another drink because I haven’t finished the pop and it has gotten warm or I go to bed. I had a lot of pop this weekend though which disappoints me. I haven’t been drinking as much water either and was doing fairly well at that. Maybe I can change that this week.

I tried to cut this out completely the last week as we had run out of pop in the house, but it was kind of hard. I have some other changes that are being made in my life and I don’t want to add to many changes at once, so I’ve just been trying one pop a day and that seems to be fine, maybe it will be easier to drop the habbit by slowing down to this first.
