Two Weeks

For some crazy reason, I decided that I needed to find some little ways to be more healthy.  (the key word was "little" - not looking to go too crazy)  After talking with a couple people, I decided to give up diet drinks.  I did  not decide to give up caffeine--that would make me very grumpy and very unhappy.  I am doing my best to avoid all forms of artificial sweeteners.  Today is two weeks since I gave up my Diet Coke and Diet Sundrop.  Let me tell you, it has not been easy.  I had a headache for 7 days straight.  And I don't even consider myself a hard core diet soda drinker.  I would have 2 most days and sometimes 3.  But I obviously had enough to feel the side effects of going without them. 

My caffeine is mostly coming from unsweetened tea.  It's kind of boring right now and I really miss the carbonation.  I hear there are some "more healthy/natural" sodas available at Trader Joe's.  Will check into it and report back at a later time.  I'm not saying that I'll  never have another diet soda.  It may become a treat or a once in a while type thing. For now, I'll just stick to my water, tea, & an occasional cup of coffee.
Who knows what will be my next crazy "get healthier" idea.  Stay tuned.
