No Soda

Today the husband and I are going to stop drinking Soda. Yes it's a shocker anyone that knows my husband knows how much he loves his Mt. Dew. We made this drastic decision because we are going to Austrailia in a few months and I read that in order to make your abs look not so flabby, you need to withhold on the sugar intake which also includes Soda. Since going without sugar is hard to do, I've convinced (guilted) him into join me. We decided we can still have one free day of sugar so it won't be too bad, hopefully.

I think we've tried this whole no caffeine thing before and it didn't work out too well. I think we made it one day. But we'll see. It should be interesting to see how long we can go without it. As I sit here at work and the fridge is just calling my name. We stock the fridge with all sorts of drinks so this will be hard on the both of us.

i went for a year without soda pop because i read somewhere that you could lose up to 10 pounds in a year simply by cutting it out if you were drinking at least one a day. well... i didn't lose the weight, but i stopped having stomach problems that had been bothering me. as far as your hubby's mt. dew... good luck with that. i went off of mt. dew in college and thought i would die. seriously... it's the worst one to get addicted to.

Oh gosh.. I just can't even touch that one. I can't tell you how many sodas I drink a day - I feel good about myself when I have a root beer vs. a dr. pepper - just because there isn't any caffeine!! Which is really pretty stupid, considering I have 3 shots of espresso in my morning Starbucks drink every morning!!

Good luck!
