So, a while back I wrote about giving up soda in favor of water. It was an obsession with me, albeit temporary. Within a short time, I went back to drinking my Diet Dr. Pepper with a vengeance.
Well, I’m trying to drink water…again. The goal is to adopt a healthier lifestyle, and all of the chemicals in soda don’t fit in with that goal. But I want to succeed with the mission this time, so I came up with a plan. It’s pretty simple. Some people drink a cup of coffee every morning. I am drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper each morning as a sort of coffee substitute. By allowing myself that one soda a day and having it every morning, I hope to hold off the soda cravings and encourage me to drink water the rest of the day.
It’s only been a week, but so far it is working. The question is: Will it work in the long run? That remains to be seen, and I will report back on my progress in a couple of months.
Stay groovy…
