Remember that pesky list? You know the one where I listed 101 things I would like to accomplish in 1,001 days? Well, it’s been quite some time since I’ve updated everyone of the progress despite crossing somethings off. Let’s play catch up this week, shall we?
I set out to give up Coca Cola for three months thinking I’d pick up right where I left off when the three months was over. I had no idea that I essentially ruined Coke for myself. Coke is now way too sweet. People suggest I try Diet Coke. I’m an all or nothing kind of girl for starters, so Diet Coke or Coke Zero was never really an option. Not to mention I think it taste a bit like a science lab.
Overall, it’s good. I was hoping I’d lose a pound or two from this, but not so much the case. I have started drinking more water, but then that could be attributed to the crazy heat wave sweeping the nation. Although, I want to believe I’m getting healthier. The elimination of Coke has also helped a great deal with my teeth.
Now to eliminate all soda. That’s the next step. I'll enjoy a Sprite, 7Up or ginger ale a few times a week, but not at the great quantities I was throwing back the Coca Cola. Regardless, did you know the average American consumes anywhere between 500 to 750 calories just in their beverage selections. Crazy, right? Now to limit myself to water and tea for daytime drinking. Because we all know I cannot sacrifice the malbec or bourbon in the evenings. Girl’s gotta have priorities.
Tomorrow we'll talk about herbs. I betcha just can't wait.

Your taste buds get a tolerance for sugar just like they do for salt. Now that I am on a reduced-salt diet, I taste it much more in salty foods.
So, you have a couple of friends named Herb? (groan!)
