i know this sounds silly to all of you non-soda-addicts out there, but i have to say, i am pretty proud of myself for making it all the way through yesterday without one drop of dr. pepper touching my lips. Last night, i made dinner for adam & i at home (rice, grilled chicken, and cheesy broccoli- adam won't eat green veggies unless they have cheese on them). i made a pitcher of crystal light for us to drink and it was great. honestly, once i got home from work, i wasn't tempted much at all. we don't keep soda in our house, so i'm used to not drinking it when i'm home. i think the daytime at work and when i'm out driving around will be the most difficult for me.
- 10:20 am- i've been at work for an hour now, this is the time i would usually be drinking a dr. pepper for my morning energy. i had a carnation instant breakfast again today on the way to work. i am feeling pretty tired right now, so i am about to drink a bottle of water and take some multi vitamins... hopefully that will help.
- 1:00 pm- so far, so good today. only 4.5 more hours of work. i don't have my car here today, so i can't drive anywhere to get lunch. this makes me bored and hungry, but it defeats the temptation that comes with going out to get lunch... i'm drinking today's 3rd bottle of water right now...
- 4:36 pm- i am sooooo hungry right now! i don't have my car today so i wasn't able to take a lunch break and i'm STARVING! being this hungry makes me desperate for a dr. pepper... desperate!! only one more hour until adam will be here to pick me up... this is torture.

i've decided to quit drinking soda... most of you know, i don't drink coffee or anything else, so i pretty much survive on dr. pepper. after talking with a friend last night about the bad things soda actually does to your body, i've decided it's time to quit. i know this is going to suck, so i want to keep a blog about it... in case i ever decide to start drinking soday again. hopefully, reading this will convince me not to.
day 1 ----- 8/11/10
- 7:15 am- my boss called me into work early, so i'm losing an hour of sleep, but i feel okay about it.
- 8:00 am- drinking a carnation instant breakfast & taking vitamins, this should give me energy today, right?
- 10:15 am- i am so tired. i would kill someone for a dr. pepper right now. don't do it autumn!
- 12:20 pm- i need to run out somewhere to get something for lunch.. i'm scared that i will get soda if i go anywhere near food... maybe i should just stay at my desk and not eat lunch..
- 1:25 pm- went to mcdonald's for lunch... didn't do so great on my food selection, but i ended up with an unsweetened ice tea... this is not dr. pepper. progress. temptation #1= success.
- 3:24 pm- i am soooo tired... i think i will drink a fruit smoothie. only 2 more hours of work to go, then i will have made it through an entire work day with no soda!
