Starting the Day Right
Twenty minutes of kickboxing to wake up, a meal bar and a cup of hot tea instead of my usual daily dose of caffeine a la sugary soda…not bad, eh? Getting the day started on the right foot makes a huge difference in my mood and outlook.
Later today I’ll dust off the weights and do some strength training, but my primary goal today is to simply not drink soda. I’m tired of feeling like a helpless crack addict, “needing” a soda fix. Trying to slowly wean myself off the stuff just leads to a sip here, a can there. So I’m going to cut through the crap and quit cold-turkey.






Hey, I did kickboxing this morning too. Man, I LOVE kickboxing! And kick that soda good and hard! You know, I find that some herbal teas taste far better than soda, you just need to find the ones you like. I always buy new varieties to try out, though some stick with me.
have a great day, our fearless leader!
I actually really like unsweet tea, which is surprising since it has NO sugar, unlike soda, but I love it if it is made right! So I have 2 bottles of tea in the fridge since plain water just doesn’t exactly tempt my tummy.
I haven’t bought any soda lately, for the simple fact of the price! OMG a 24 pack is at least $7! I have about 6 cans of my fave, Diet Dr Pepper, in the pantry left over from our Labor Day party, and I’m rationing them out like bread during the Great Depression or something. lol I’m telling myself I am NOT gonna buy any more….
I usually pour a packet of something-or-other into my bottled water (crystal light and so on) but I really like unsweetened tea too.
Ummmm… and coffee. Which is BAD caffeine, but I LOVE it black, so at least there’s no sugar.
Anyway, good luck!! I know you can do it MJ!
yeah great start to the day. for me it is the same way i start off right the entire day will go better than expected. is it not funny how our brains work like that?
Well I wish you lots of luck. I’ve never been big on soda but I have had my share of sugar addiction.
It is now about 9 PM and I made it!! No soda!
Dang MJ soda is still getting to my MJ?
You can do it!
