I don't normally do a second journal, but I'm trying to keep myself awake so here I am. :)
I've been trying to give up soda. I usually only have one can of diet soda per day, but I want to completely get rid of it. I'm not being too harsh about it right now, I'm still allowing myself to have soda if I go out and feel like it and I had one yesterday at the hospital because I just wanted something sweet. I am noticing that today and on Tuesday I've had cravings for it after lunch. That is the time I would normally have had it, so it's no surprise. I haven't brought it to work though, so I'm just drinking my water and not giving into the craving. I hope after a week or two the cravings go away, but I've been doing pretty well and once the craving subsides I don't miss it. I have been drinking tea in the evenings, either iced or hot, and that has been helpful too. Maybe someday I'll actually be completely soda free. I thought it would actually be harder. Now, if I can just get rid of my coffee with sweetner and cream in the mornings I'd be set!
My hubby just told me he thinks he's getting sick and has a fever. My son was just sick with what we think was influenza, so it wouldn't be surprising. It's funny though because he was messing with my son when he was sick and holding his head, well my son sneezed right in his face and I told my hubby he'd be sick within the week. When I'm right, I'm right, but I wish I weren't right about this. My hubby is a huge man-child when he's sick and the world will have to stop to take care of him. It could be a long weekend.
Okay back to life. It's been the longest day ever, and it isn't even close to over yet.

You can do it!! I gave up soda January 1st as a new year's resolution ;p The first like two weeks were absolutely awful, because I was also having one soda a day. It's good to find a healthy alternative, because if you're like me I have an addictive personality, so whatever I replaced soda with was my new "addiction". I mix blended up fruits into seltzer water, and it tastes pretty good! It also gets rid of that carbonation craving.
I have total faith in you, you can totally do it and good luck!

I only have diet soda on 'soda saturdays' lol. It doesn't feel like I'm really giving anything up, and lately I haven't even had much on Saturday. Sorry to hear about your husband getting sick, I feel ya there. Have a sick husband is sometimes worse than sick kids.

I still have diet comes. I don't like the cans, just the fountain, so I only have them when I go out, like Sundays and days I'm out driving with my husband. HOWEVER, I make sure that I still get at least 5 bottles f water in addition to the soda.

I feel your pain - I gave up soda on March 27th (no, seriously, I'm not counting the days - LOL). I was a bit more addicted than you though. I generally had 48-60 ozs. of Diet Coke per day. I stopped cold turkey because I knew it would be too tempting if I even kept it around. Thankfully it is spring and lemonade is really good right now.
