Hooray for Small Victories

Here's to small victories!

Hooray!

A couple of days ago I made a decision to stop drinking soda.

I am sad, because I truly love soda.

Truly and deeply...

So for me to tell you this is inspiring to me.

2 days...

without soda.

This has been the hardest 2 days of this war so far.  The true test of time is work.  I usually drink a 20 oz when I first get there, then I get a 32 oz fountain soda that lasts me until I get off.  Last night I went for 4 hours without drinking anything.  It was torture.  My mouth was so dry.

Like the desert.

First thing I did, was hit the gas station for some Propel Zero.  It's not very good though, so I don't recommend it.  It has a nasty aftertaste.  But I drank it all, then had the other one...

Today will be the true test, an 8 hour shift.

I will let you know how I do.

Tomorrow e are going to our favorite indoor water park, for some much needed family time.

All of us, in the car together, the small hotel room together, eating meals together...maybe I didn't think this through all the way. (Oh well.)

It'll be fun anyway.  Grizzly Jack's here we come!
