Trying to cut out coke/soda...any replacement suggestions??
Hi!! I am trying to cut out coke from my diet for obvious reasons. Like most of you, I'm a Cokeaholic. I'm also nursing a baby and depend on coke for energy. I've also cut out my good cold caramel machiatto.! These were momma's "rewards". Feeling a little un enthused and lacking energy (could be a mind set). Any…
Day 35 - overcame stress without diet coke
Today was a tad stressful (sick kid), and I normally would have had a diet dr pepper or diet coke to cope. Even going to the McDonald's playground while waiting for my daughter's perscription, I just got water. I felt really good about my decision, and that in and of itself relieved some stress.
Day 34 (?)
it's been a while since I've updated! Still enjoying the coke-free lifestyle. I did have a diet dr pepper on the road; only because my husband ordered for me. But it was a small, and I didn't enjoy it...so I'm not counting it. So I haven't lost any weight, but I think that is because diet dr pepper and diet coke used to be…
Day 22
Somedays it is hard and I want a Dr. Pepper, especially when we go out to eat. But I have been sticking to water and only twice I have had a small sweet tea. I can definately tell that I sleep better at night without all that sugar and caffeine. It's the small victories.. :smiley:
Day 19
Still sticking with it :smiley: I don't know if anyone out there ever looks at this, but keeping a record helps keep me on track!
Day 18
On vacation and still able to be soda free!! I'm disappointed that most commercial green tea has sugar in it. Kinda defeats the purpose! I've been drinking 99% water with a few cups of low-cal lemonade. Anyone else have traveling tips?
Day 15
Still no soda :) half-way to a habit, right?
Day 13
Still soda free here, but I did have lemonade at lunch. I know that it has sugar (possibly HFCS!), but I was afraid if I had one diet coke, I would go down the slippery slope of having three a day again. I realize I could have had water. I got a meal at a restaurant that came with a self serve drink. I thought since I had…
Day 12
Almost to 2 weeks soda free! I'm going on vacation on Thursday. Any tips for staying soda free while traveling?
Day 11
This is possibly the longest I've gone in my adult life without soda! Doing well - drinking lots of water. Green tea does seem to keep cravings at bay. Hope everyone else is doing well :)
