Completed Mini-Challenges

Week 1

Cut off the soda!

Guidelines:
From here on in, no more soda. If you experience caffeine withdrawal (headache, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, etc.), make a cup of caffeinated tea to ease your pain -- but only for week one! Step down gradually so that you are completely caffeine-free by the beginning of week two!

I had to run to the store to get bread, and as I was waiting to check-out, I had to stand next to the cooler full of 20oz Pepsi. It was very, very, very tempting. But I made it through!
