CGU week 3: Tasty beverages recap

Week 3 Challenge: Only drink water.

Eff me. I have been putting this update off.

I failed. Big time. Like … gave up.

I don’t know what the deal is. When did I start drinking so much diet soda? It grosses me out and makes me feel awful.

Still though, ever since I stopped eating poorly it’s been one of my few “treats.” And then it became my crutch. Want a cupcake? Drink some soda. Want to eat a glass full of fake sugar? Drink some soda.

I started off on the right foot, but things quickly went poorly. By Friday on our staycation, I was so tempted by Diet Coke that I just went for it. Come on … eating out every meal is such a lure for tasty beverages! 

By Saturday, I considered myself a CGU challenge failure and bought some Fresca. Woe is me.

What I’ve learned: At some point, I started drinking too much soda. I need to decrease my consumption, even if it’s gradually.

Somehow, giving up gluten for six weeks during Lent was WAY easier than not drinking soda for a week … aka four days.
