I'm not at the end of my trying to drink more water journey (more like at the beginning of it) but I'm at the end of writing about it.
I think it went pretty well and I still have to work on it. I would be lying if I said I didn't crave coke daily - so I do have at least one a day. But that's a big step from where I was.
Let's hear some final thoughts from you - will you keep it up? Will you drink more water this summer (if you live in the south - or I guess anywhere - and are having 100 degree days like I am - you probably REALLY will!)
Good luck and thanks for coming along with me!!!!

I've been inspired :) It's been officially 72 hours since my last diet soda and I've been drinking LOTS of water and crystal light! I'm going to see how long I can go without diet pepsi because I am definitely an addict and I need to take a major break from it. I don't really expect to never drink it again, but I just want to show myself that I can do without it. If I do drink it again, I think what I'll do is only allow myself to drink a diet soda after I've had 6-8 glasses of water or crystal light. Thanks for the inspiration!
I am going to continue. I am with you, in the fact that I still have to have 1 soda a day, but that is a major improvement. Thanks for helping me along this journey. CHEERS!
This seemed to go by so FAST! I do hope you and I can keep it up!
I too am still having one soda a day, but that is wayyy better than before! I am going to try to keep this up!!
Well, braking free from Coke has been really hard, especially Coke Icees. But, having been diagnosed with GERD and IBS, I had no choice. Man do I miss them...
I didn't do the Crystal Light challenge, but I just wanted to encourage you. When Hayden and I got married he drank about 7 Dr. Thunders a day...I switched him first to sweet tea, then to unsweet tea with Sweet N Low in it, then to unsweet DECAF tea with Sweet N Low in it. Now, it's like a routine for him, and he has about 7 Dr. Thunders in a YEAR!
I love Caffeine Free Diet Coke, but I have a rule, I ONLY get it when I eat at Chick Fil A. Otherwise I get water everywhere I eat out, and I always carry a bottle of water with me...and now...so does Hayden!
Plus, there are so many cute types of bottles you can buy now...I may just have to get you a personalized one...but i can only be for water...haha!
Oh, and I always leave a bottle of water next to my rocker in Asher's room and as soon as I finish nursing him I take 8 swigs...which I think equals 8 ounces. It's really refreshing to get that after he's just sucked a bunch of liquid from my body!
Good luck Kelly!!!
I still need at least 1 diet coke with lime a day.
On the other hand SONIC has finally opened in NJ about 20 minutes from me. Here I come Diet Cherry Limeade!
I stopped drinking soda in any form (except Ginger Ale) when I found out I was pregnant three months ago. Cold turkey. God must have been watching out for me because I avoided the caffeine withdrawal headache! Now I drink about a gallon of water a day (doctor's orders). Occasionally I will add a Propel pack to a glass of water, especially if morning sickness is really bad.
I thought I would only want Coke after the baby came, but one day last week I had a migraine and sent my husband out to get me a Regular (I usually drink Coke Zero) Coke with caffeine to see if it would help. Three ounces in and I was dying. It tasted so gross.
All that to say, the best way for me to give up soda in any form has been to go cold turkey.
Good luck!
