Go a month without drinking soda.

Finished up last night at midnight. Which worked out well because I was flying home and my flight was delayed by three hours. It landed at 2:30 am, right before my hour and a half drive home, so I had some soda to wire me for the drive. I was much more aware of the chemicaly under taste though. I probably won’t stop forever but am going to try to make sure to stay under one soda per day.

I had thought today was my last day. It looks like I have two more to go. Still not sure it was worth it, or that I won’t go back to drinking soda but at least I proved my will power is stronger than my addiction.

Half way done. I still miss soda and have to work hard at not cheating but I haven’t.

Made it through day 12!!

Today the headache’s came. I am not sure why it took so long maybe cause I had iced tea through Saturday and haven’t been truly caffeine free until the last two days. It is a crazy bad headache through the back of my head. I had a massage this am and it made it go away but it was back in a few hours. This brings up the question… why am I doing this? I get that soda is bad for you, but it isn’t like I am going to give up everything that is bad for me. If I could make my headache go away just by drinking a can of diet coke shouldn’t I do it. There’s a bunch in the fridge (since my husband is not giving up drinking soda). Right now stubbornness is the only thing keeping me on goal. I am sure I had some good reasons but they are forgotten. Someone want to remind me?

I would suggest if you try to do this you consider in advance what your going to drink instead. I’ve thought of doing this before and even stopped for a bit in the past, but this time was on a whim, and I wasn’t prepped. Now I have nice iced green tea on hand as option. Still getting some cravings but no headaches.

I am going to try this starting today… course soda is the only thing I drink that has caffine in it so it could be ugly…
