Week 2 - Thanksgiving Week

Ok so this has been a tough week! I think just knowing I'm giving up sodas has made me crave them more. I have even had a few Mt. Dews which I gave up months ago.

The hard part isn't during meals. I am doing good drinking water with meals. It is when I'm at home or in the car that I want a soda. We did a lot of traveling this week.

I've come to realize too that it is the sugary taste that I'm addicted to. It isn't the carbonation. I've noticed if I drink some Green Machine by Naked Juice my craving stops. At least I know what I'm up against.

So, here is what I have decided. I'm am done drinking sodas as of right now. It is 12:26 on Monday 11/26/12. There, I said it and I'm done.

I have also convinced my sister to do this with me :) YAY!!!






In the spirit of Thanksgiving I am thankful for:

• Family that supports me in cleaning up my diet
• Friends who spoke up about our food supply and led me to this journey
• Robyn O'Brien
• Farmers that grow healthy food organically
• The internet for providing us with access to Information - good and bad :-)
• All the documentaries that expose what is really going on that no one wanted us to know
• My boys are young enough I still have a chance to teach them the right way to eat real food
• Being healthy enough to exercise 
• Having the guts to try, I mean DO this thing :-)
