One year ago.....yesterday

One year ago yesterday, I was talking to my friend Heather. We were giving each other tips about weight loss and getting healthy. She told me that she had been without drinking pop for about 6 or 7 years and is only drinking water. I was like, wow! She's amazing! If she can do it, I can do it! So, August 26, 2009, I stopped drinking pop and went to Poweraid. The first 2 weeks were horrible! I had headaches, it was just horrible! But I survived!

Now, I'll have to say this before my mom tells on me, but a couple of months ago, I did have a sip of Sprite (no caffeine) and I about died! It was so disgusting! I dumped it out and went back to water.

So, without that sip, I made it one year! And here's to many years to come!

Hey, if I can do it, you can do it! Give it up! Plus, now it saves me about $2-$3 a day! Which is about $60-$90 a month! (are you thinking what the heck yet?) How about the money I saved this year.....$720-$1080!

DOES THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO STOP NOW????? I think so!

Well, I did buy some Poweraid through the year, but not like I drank the pop! So, this year, I'll save about the $720-$1080! WOO HOO!

Michelle, I am so proud of you. Caffiene is a hard one to beat. I don't drink it, but my husband is an addict. Really. I keep threatening him about it, and one of these days I will make him go on a cleanse. I know it can be done, it's hard, but he can do it! You are a great example! I am sure you are thinking you can do anything now. It's true!

Oh and thank you for the 21 day cleanse info. It will come in handy!

YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I have been without regular pop for a while. I had to give it up when I was pregnant with Owen. Sadly I still have a diet one every now and then. I am going to give those up too! I agree with Kristen, you are a great example. One word for you my dear.......AWESOME!
