Day 9

In some ways it is getting harder to be without soda. The hardest part is when Chad has soda knowing I have made this commitment. Because of this, I have asked him to try to go the next week without soda. I am hoping that by having him work on this commitment, it will make the next week easier.

Day 5

Today is day five of no soda. I have passed some pretty difficult tests, too. Saturday, I went to Village Inn with Chad and his brother, Jeremy. They had soda, and I had water (not fun). Last night I went to a Red Green concert. Chad, Jeremy, and the kids had soda, and I had water again. It wasn't as hard as it was Saturday. I had Mio in my purse for flavoring and energy. I only put in the first bottle of water. I was surprising OK with plain water the second time. I am starting to thing this may be something I can do for good this time.

Quitting Cold Turkey

I have been given a challenge and signed a contract with a co-worker. There is no going back unless I quit my job. I will not be drinking soda anymore. This is not an easy thing for me. I really like my Dr. Pepper. It is quite an addiction, in fact. I have to be successful this time though.  If I do have any soda at all, I have to do 50 burpees in front of all of my co-workers.
