I have a bad confession to make. I'm back to being a Diet Coke addict.
I thought I would have it under control. At first I just had it on mornings when I was more tired then normal and needed the caffeine to kick start my day. Then I threw it in when I went out for lunch or dinner. Now I'm back to 2-3 pops a day.
Will the madness ever stop??
What sucks about my pop addiction is that I know I should be drinking water. Instead of ordering a pop and getting a refill or two, I should be drinking water. But it just doesn't seem as satisfying anymore.
When I drink pop, even if it's diet, I just don't feel as healthy. I can feel the acid in my stomach and I know I should be drinking water instead. But I can't shake the need for caffeine. And I'm not about to resort to energy drinks or caffeine pills.
Maybe my goal in the coming weeks should be to get into a regular sleep habit. I've hard that's good for maintaining weight anyway. You need a good night sleep each and every night to regulate your body.
Of course this is all easier said than done. But aren't most things in life?

The American Cancer Society is gearing up for another Great American Eat Right Challenge, a challenge meant to encourage people to start making healthier lifestyle choices. Working with the organization last summer, I took on the Eat Right Challenge and throughout the year I've shared my experiences, struggles and stories. With the help from ACS, I'll be embarking on the Eat Right Challenge again, and encourage you to do the same! Post your own comments and let me know how it's going for you.
