new commitment

I've made a new commitment to start drinking more water. So far today I've had almost 80 ounces of water, flavored with instant green tea mix, and only 2 dews! This is an attempt to be a bit healthier and to make an effort to lose some weight.

Re: new commitment

I add crystal light 'focus' or 'wild strawberry' to at least one of the water's every day. they are caffeinated. I find I don't really like or crave soda anymore. I'm getting my caffeine, but not feeling bloated from the carbonation.

Re: new commitment

the green tea mix doesn't have caffeine, but it does have some sugar so that's why I'm trying to only add a little. I'm hoping that the more I drink, the less I will be thirsty for the dew. Then it can be a treat.

I had a 8oz. glass of 1% milk for breakfast, 30oz. of water with 1tbsp of green tea mix, and I am just now going to have my first mountain dew!

I also had a salad and a few almonds for lunch.

Re: new commitment

Good Luck Melissa you can do it, I used to drink a 2 liter of mellow yellow a day. Now I pretty much just drink water and maybe 1 can of my every other day. It is hard in the beginning but it is worth it.
