I Opened Happiness...

I had given up frosty Coca-Cola beverages for Lent. That is 46 days without a Coke. Typically I don't go 46 minutes without one. I made it 27 and 1/2 days. I couldn't make it through March Madness without my bottle. March Madness and Coke go together like lamb and tuna. What? Maybe spaghetti and meatballs works better for you?

It wasn't a slip up. This was a full fledged binge. A 'Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew' type binge. I am slightly bummed I did not reach my goal, but none of the things people told me would happen happened. I didn't sleep better, I didn't feel better etc. Interestingly enough there was a story on Nightline talking about exactly what I've been saying for years. A lot of those 'fruit' and 'health' drinks are no better for you than Coke. They are just as high in sugar and fructose. The lessons I have learned from this adventure is 1. I stink at achieving goals & 2. unless you drink only filtered water leave me alone about my Coke drinking.
