Lent

[troupatour]

Yesterday was the first day of Lent. I decided this year to give up soft drinks. I drink 2-3 a day normally, so it's something I will be remembering as I go, but it won't be as difficult as when I gave up caffeine (which also ended up with the side effect of me drinking a lot more alcohol because that was often the only other choice besides water)

Good for you on giving up sodas! We gave them up almost two years ago - not for lent, but because we read several articles on HFCS and Aspartame one day, and couldn't stomach the thought of drinking that crap any more! It was hard at first, but not any more. Occasionally we have a Mexican Coke or a Boylan's soda (they have a diet that has sucralose, though), but those are only a once every-other month or so treat.
