Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 i dont drink or need soda, unless hubby brings it into the house, then i just cant help myself. try drinking ice cold water or with ice. i cant drink water that isnt very ice cold. i never drank water much either, but now that i got on my fitness kick...its crucial.

I think I will just go as long as I can go so I don't set myself up for disappointment if I have a little. Today was my first day and I didn't have a drop! I drank some water, not much, but it's a start. Anyone care to join me?Darcy Quote

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Hi Darcy, I think it would be better if I cut down on drinking it slowly because I drink OVER 3 cans a day and I'm afraid of getting caffiene withdrawal headaches...not pretty.

I'm thinking though "how can 2 cans of caffeine free root beer a day hurt me?" ok, I think I'm trying to make excuses again lol Like you, I know I don't drink enough water and lately since trying to increase my protein, I've added more skim milk to help add to my protein so when I would normally drink a glass of water I'm drinking the milk. I used to drink tons of water, but always felt so bloated so then I decreased it a little, but it was always a challenge to get it all in. I think I need like 64 oz a day, that's a lot and hard to get in, at least for me. ~~ Quote
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 How about after your fridg is empty? Hopefully I'm still doing okay. I used to drink 1800 glasses of water a day and didn't touch pop. Old habits came creeping back after time...ugh..Darcy On 9/14/06, fitgrl222@... <fitgrl222@...> wrote: In a message dated 9/13/2006 9:54:33 P.M.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 My big gripe is that I have to constantly go to the bathroom if I drink all that water. I know you are supposed to get used to it, but I haven't stuck it out long enough to give it a try... First I will stop drinking pop which will force me to drink SOME water. Then my next step will be to up my water. DarcyOn 9/14/06, fitgrl222@... <fitgrl222@...> wrote: In a message dated 9/14/2006 6:51:44 A.M.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 I gave it up cold turkey over 7 years ago and don't miss it. I can't stand more than a sip and even that is too much. But you can do it Darcy and the rest of you! On 9/13/06, Darcy Ledman <exercise.junkie@...> wrote: Okay, I'm going to attempt a no-pop challenge.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 I never had that issue and I used to go through a suitcase a week by myself, plus the soda I drank at work and for FF. So I probably averaged probably the equivalent of 6-7 cans a day.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 Good for you Sandie! I don'tknow how I ever started drinking it again, but I sure did. I would like to go cold turkey too, otherwise it won't happen I'll just slowly build up again.... I will keep you guys posted on my progress. Maybe I will try a little harder that way DarcyOn 9/14/06, *~*Gymmie*~* <taebogymmie@...> wrote: I gave it up cold turkey over 7 years ago and don't miss it.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 Carolyn, Why is it that women can't resist things that are on sale even if they don't need them? LOL!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 Good for you !!Great question about the sale.. I am HORRIBLE about that. I probably have at least ten new things stashed away in a closet for gifts to give some day that I picked up on sale...Darcy On 9/14/06, revaddict <revaddict@...> wrote: Carolyn, Why is it that women can't resist things that are on sale even if they don't need them?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 Isn't that the way it goes? I rarely drink pop, maybe a two or three times per year and wouldn't you know it what did I have on the desk beside me while reading my email today? I promptly went and poured it down the sink. I didn't need it anyway. Thanks, Kerry Give your diet A & W away so you can join us ! ne care to join me? I would like to join you, but I have a fridge full of diet A & W. LOL Quote
