Sorry for not posting. These last two days at work have been BRUTAL with everything that I have had to do at the office.
That's where the temptation hit. As I mentioned, the hardest part about giving up soda for this month is the fact that we have FREE soda at work. It's always around. I hear cans popping throughout the day. When I am stressed, it was always a "go to." Go grab a soda, sit down, release some tension, get to work. Now I don't have that.
What I have replaced it with (and who knows if I am replacing it with something better or worse) are the single serving drink mixes with my favorite being the Jolly Rancher Green Apple or the Wylers Strawberry Lemonade. I am sure the sodium levels with that aren't that great but I do feel that at least I am not putting a can of chemicals into my system.
At my worst I could drink 20 cans a day.
And now I've gone cold turkey.
But I am making it and that's all that matters. I think if I can make it through two weeks then the cravings will subside and it will be smooth sailing from here.
