Challenge #26

28 Jun

-No soda/caffeine-

This week’s challenge is to give up pop and caffeine.  I think I need a clear head as I begin exams and I think this will be a good challenge for this week.  I’m allowing myself herbal tea and water only!  I actually think a cup of coffee a day is good for you, but I can try a week without it.  Pop, on the other hand, has got to go.  I have been thinking I need to kick that habit for years and I don’t know why I have a hard time letting the bubbly goodness go.  There’s nothing good in pop.  Nothing.  Especially not diet pop.  So, here goes nothing.  I’ll let you know how it goes.

Who’s with me?!

P.S.  I can’t help but notice that I am on challenge #26, which means we are halfway through the year.  Crazy.

    I gave up soda a few weeks ago, and it was annoying for a week or two. Not so bad now, but I still crave one once in a while!

      Yeah, I asked Dan if he thinks he could give up pop forever and he said maybe we just won’t buy it to keep at home. Maybe a once and a while thing? I don’t know why I’m addicted to it.

    I stopped caffeine for 2 weeks last summer, because of my whole anemia thing. My thinking was something about how it supposedly leaches minerals or something. It was a terrible idea. ;)
    Well, it was really hard to do, and I wouldn’t want to do it again.
    I generally stopped pop… a long time ago… I forget. Except for on rare occasions, like I really want some with my popcorn. It always makes me feel sick though and that helps me not do it much.

      Yes, it’s nice with popcorn! Hopefully I can kick pop, but I’m definitely going back to coffee!
