How I did it: I gave up Diet Coke for Lent and substituted it with water. The thing I realized from this whole experience is that I have a beverage addiction. I have to be drinking something all the time. Replacing my 3 Diet Cokes a day with 6 glasses of water really helped. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A neighbor could not make it, so he offered me 4 tickets to Madama Butterfly in his company's box. My mom, friend, and I dressed up and drove downtown. We got there just in time to settle in our seats and watch the curtain rise. Read how I did it…
This is a goal that you can’t really check off til you’ve died. It’s a lifelong goal, like: Brush your teeth. The thing is, I gave up Diet Coke for Lent, and I’ve been drinking only water and coffee. It does wonders for your skin and hair. I’m gonna go ahead and check this off, since it’s sort of null and void. It’s a cyclical goal, and I feel like I’ve accomplished it.
