I gave up all non-water beverages for Lent, and I was successful! It wasn't really that difficult, especially when I reminded myself why I was doing it. Every time I was tempted to have a non-water beverage, I thought about the sacrifices Jesus made for me. The cross vs Diet Dr. Pepper. Jesus wins.
The sacrifice saved me money as well. I never realized how much money restaurants charge for soda and tea until it was no longer on my bill. Additionally, I realized just how much artificial sugars give me a headache and increase my hunger. I feel dizzy right now from the four Diet Dr. Peppers I had today. And I'm sure the half of bag of Baked Doritos didn't help.
On the exercise front, I had to Walk Away the Pounds with Leslie Sansone today because the gym was closed for Easter and it was too cold and wet to walk outside.

Nice! Go you!
That's great! Now if I could only give up my diet wild cherry pepsi, that is my drug of choice.
I understand the diet soda thing. Diet Coke (no matter what flavor) is my drink. I have cut back though and try not to drink as many (maybe one a day). Now...I'm drinking Crystal Light more....Ugh!
