So, in an effort to save money, lose weight, and be healthier in general, Josh and I have officially decided to cut soda and energy drinks out of our diet, and when we hit the 40 day mark of no caffiene, we are treating ourselves to a nice dinner out-Im a very reward-minded person. Given that we would routinely spend 3.99 at circle k each trip for a soda and energy drink usually at least 2x a day, that is 239.40 a month, and that is the conservative estimate! Wow! That is a good hunk of money. That's a wii, or 6 months of car insurance. I am floored. -- I can buy better ingredients or boots or something, or pay my bills even. We already don't eat out as much as we used to.. maybe 1 or 2x a month, and I have lost 10lbs since doing that, and changing bc, so maybe I will see more results with no soda in my diet. .... so here is how today(Day 1) went... wake up, not in a great mood, and starving, i make brunch for josh and i, and we both are very quiet today. I reach for my cold water in the fridge to have my meal with, and after checking things on the net, I fall back asleep. I wake up, and my friend the caffiene headache joins me. Never fear, I have excedrin migraine, and not only does it rid the head ache, it gives me a fun slightly buzzed loopy feeling. Some of my muscles are twitching, and I want to eat less, as I am not a fan of eating without a soda. I know, its a weird mental thing with me on this. But at this point, knowing how much money I will be saving and that there is a reward, I am pretty sure I can keep this up if I keep concious about it, and not give in when it is free and available to me. I will go forth! I will be successful in this!
