So I gave up carbonation a few days ago. It was a pretty tough thing to give up. I had been BINGING on soda big time, and mostly caffeinated--so with that binging, came an added addiction to caffeine. I was an equal opportunity soda drinker too, sugared, diet, and a ton of energy drinks. I think the day before my no-soda rule I drank 7 cans of Mountain Dew. Yum....
But again, my good friend Tom inspired me to drop one thing at a time, so this week I dropped all forms of Soda. With the exception of forgetting my caffeine supplements (excedrine) on Wednesday and suffering the consequences on Thursday, I did well. In fact, I made an exception Thursday to drink soda, as I had a massive migraine, complete with vomiting... So, not sure if it was a severe reaction to no caffeine, but that's what happened, and so I will instill a rule that whenever I'm sick, I'll still eat saltines, and wash them down with sprite--or in this case, Mountain Dew on the rocks. Sprite or 7-up were always the feel-better beverages of choice my mother gave me when I was a kid, and couldn't keep it down, coupled with saltines. I've often wondered if Saltines have calculated exactly how much of their sales comes from sick people.
Anyway, overall, a great week. I'm excited to drop something next week. It'll likely be sugared drinks--since this week, as a replacement for soda, I drank a ton of sugared sobes.
I'll weigh myself on Monday morning--My starting weight pre-no-soda was about 263.
