Hmmm

So, it's officially been over a year since I quit Cokes and assorted other soda-type beverages. In that time the closest thing I've had to a "soda" are the non-caffeinated, non-HFC black cherry drinks from Walgreens, and in the past few months, the occasional non-caffeinated root beer/root beer float. I consider that staying within the parameters, as my main goal was to remove my dependency on Cokes and increase my water intake. I've done both those things. I drink almost exclusively water on any give day, with a couple of sweet teas thrown in during the week.

I don't really miss Cokes. I will admit to some curiosity about the new Cherry Dr. Pepper, but I feel I can now try just one- if I desire- without fear of relapse. Considering that a root beer makes me feel like crap within the hour, I don't imagine I'd go buy a case of the drink. It is, I must add, merely a curiosity at the moment. I'm not actually inclined to go and buy one.

My weight loss goals were a bit derailed. I haven't lost any more, haven't gained any more, in several months. I chalk this up to a return to erratic eating habits and a lack of planning/schedule. I'm hoping to get back on track with that, though. It's hard. Eating properly is very difficult when you are broke.
