day 3 no cola

(actually day 4, but I didn't count the first day because I wanted a start day that was easy to remember...and for me it was Oct. 1st.)

I actually managed to get 2 liters of water in me yesterday. That's not counting the coffee, tea, and a fat free drink. And I was still thirsty. Travis thinks that I may have been dehydrated from all the colas I use to intake & now my body is trying to recover.

all the times I've tried to quit colas has been such a struggle.....but not this time. I didn't even get a headache yesterday! I always had such terrible headaches even the first day. Yey me!

I wasn't even tempted yesterday. All day. that's some sort of record for me....and this morning? Nope. Not even a little and I credit all that water yesterday!
 
I always thought it was the caffeine that I was craving.....wrong. It was all that sugar. OMG. I still can't believe all the sugar I took in a day. If nothing else this kept me from my dream weight.
I had the added plus of how my intestines have stopped being so swollen (other tummy issue I have)...meaning I feel better already.....no belly ache? Yeah, I'll take that all day long.
4 days in, I'm already feel better......not as sluggish. Yeah. If this keeps up this is all gravy.....much easier than I ever had it before. I guess seeing the sugar & having it in a glass to see every time I walk by it helps keep me straight. I even have a picture of that glass with sugar in it to keep me from giving in & having one when I'm out.
I know that some people have success with slowly stepping down colas....not me. I am having to do cold turkey...and that only having them on weekends? Never worked for me.......so not even on weekends.........I keep telling myself this stuff is poison and I work too hard in the gym to not get 'credit' for it on my body due to my sugar intake.....not okay...
yep. there you go. The thing that has scared me straight......
