I stopped drinking pop on Mother's Day last year. There was no particular reason for doing it, I just felt like I was depending on my Diet Coke too much. So, I stopped drinking it, cold turkey. I had originally planned on just giving up Diet Coke. However, I didn't want to start drinking the sugary pops, so I just stopped all together. And, I have to say, it's been much easier than I thought it would be. I did have one slip up last year when I went to Subway about a year ago. I had every intention of grabbing some iced tea. However, I went on auto-pilot and filled my cup with Diet Coke. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it until after I left, so I ended up drinking it.
Fast forward to today. It is an absolutely beautiful day today, so a trip to the Root Beer Stand sounded like a great idea to the kids and I! I fully planned on getting some diet root beer. After all, it's not a trip to the Root Beer Stand if you don't get root beer! I placed the order, and once again, I went on auto-pilot to order my drink. But this time, instead of ordering a diet root beer ~ which really sounded delicious ~ I ordered a lemonade. Lemonade? Who drinks lemonade at the Root Beer Stand? Well, evidently, I do! And I felt much better for it. Now, I did have a hot dog, but I skipped on the chips and had my lemonade. All in all, good decisions made today! In other news, I have another 5,000 meters to add to my rowing challenge. :-)
