I have my stash of caffeinated DC for headache days, but I do try to drink lots of water. My particular demon is sugar, particularly starchy carby sugary goodness. *sigh* I'm trying so hard to stay away from it, but in my case I never seem to get a reward for it, like losing weight. My body has gone AWOL. My recurring theory is that if can stick with it for long enough maybe my body will reset. Hope springs eternal. Green smoothies, huh? I'll have to give it a try.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-45662657675586173512011-07-27T11:07:28.873-07:002011-07-27T11:07:28.873-07:00I am starting the green smoothies, too, as soon as...I am starting the green smoothies, too, as soon as I get home from the beach Sunday.<br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-23952863377647569972011-07-27T10:10:27.358-07:002011-07-27T10:10:27.358-07:00Hurray for you and the Green Smoothies!!

Soooo I decided I was drinking too much caffeine. NOW, I'm hooked on Powerade Zero. Oh, the zeroes and ones!! they have me. (I still think they are a little better.) <br /><br />I'm working on some pounds that have piled on. It is a choice. I'm makin' it. I'll be cheering you on in your breaking free from the Diet Coke can! I know you can do it and I look forward to seeing "which room you decorate next!" =)<br /><br />You are a most wise woman and your "wisdom of the day" is dead on. blessings ~ tannaTannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484104973009411729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-61594310661296861822011-07-26T13:03:09.203-07:002011-07-26T13:03:09.203-07:00Good for you...I was drinking too much to so I did...Good for you...I was drinking too much to so I did this...I have one can of Pepsi with 2 long squirts of lemon juice and one cup of cranberry juice, add ice and you have a great drink!

Oh my, as if that were the worst of it right.<br /><br />So yes, I quit drinking Coke about a year and a half ago. I quit and it really wasn't that hard. I had a headache for about 2 days and I totally craved it -meaning I thought about it every waking moment - for 6 or 7 months but then it got better.<br /><br />Quite honestly I did not lose any weight, but on the upside I didn't have to go to the bathroom as often - I can make it through a whole movie <br />:-D<br /><br />I do know it is better for your body to not be addicted to something and to not have all that sodium. I honestly still want to drink it. I've decided it's like being an alcholic - you always want it.<br /><br />I need to start drinking green smoothies for sure! I think you found something good with the green.<br /><br />I wish you much luck with the Diet Coke - it is not pleasant to be off of it, but overall I do believe it is healthier.CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911579093553356167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-29723347571988506982011-07-26T12:38:19.494-07:002011-07-26T12:38:19.494-07:00hahaha this was a great read!

But as soon as I started having stomach issues -- which eventually led to a gallbladder removal -- I decided I need to give it up. I went cold turkey!<br /><br />Now trust me if you knew how much I love Diet Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke Zero and Diet Mtn. Dew and Pepsi Max... I could go on and on..... you'd know that was a huge feat to go cold turkey. But I did it! And I know you can too!!<br /><br />Every time I crave one now, I just remind myself that a diet soda is nothing more than a mixture of man-made chemicals that have absolutely no redeeming quality to them whatsoever. Do a google search on something like "diet soda bad for you" or "diet soda weight gain" and you'll have enough reading material for a lifetime. <br /><br />Hmm... now I have to go make myself a green smoothie!Jen Fluhartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17637075400051530765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-37139025978558168612011-07-26T12:17:51.486-07:002011-07-26T12:17:51.486-07:00I'm squishy and I like diet sodas.

It sounds like a lot for one meal. I feel squishy too and sometimes worse when I drink my Diet Coke. I should quit, but I can't bring myself to do it. Please let me know more about the green smoothies. What else are they good for? I started taking fish oil and flaxseed oil pills to be more "regular" but it's useless. I've taken it for a month and nothin'--worse than I was. Maybe TMI? Anyway, would green stuff help? I eat lots of fruit and veggies and drink lots of water, but I still feel squishy. Thank you very much. Drink green and not caffeine. :o)just call me johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241948627657510426noreply@blogger.com
