I had surgery on my jaw yesterday so carbonated beverages were out. In a way, that made it easier to stick to water.
I got a package today from Crystal Light with some flavored water in it. I didn't realize they were sending any, so it was a nice surprise. I have been drinking the peach tea and the raspberry lemonade and wincing a lot.
On a positive note, I seem to be sleeping deeper. Now, I didn't sleep much last night because of the discomfort, but when I rested today, I felt like I actually slept and had dreams! Dreams, I say! The novelty of it!
Chris and the kids have been trying the challenge with me, but the kids failed miserably. Harmony, especially. "I doan won koo-yaid, Momma. I won Docker Paper."
On or two sips of "Docker Paper" and she's hooked. They should have warning labels on that stuff.

I too am a Dr Pepper Addict. You are a braver woman than I for trying to forgo it. I have decided to wait until I get pregnant, and then and ONLY then will I quit/cut back on the Goodness that is Dr Pepper.
I'm a Pepsi addict, but I've tried the Rasberry Lemonade, and it wasn't half bad. Good luck with this (and hope you recover quick from your surgery).
docker paper!! i just love Harmony talk!! so cute!! good luck on ur journey
I drink Diet Coke because of the taste. I like it, and there is definitely a noticable difference in the taste of regular DC and caffeine-free DC. I suppose it's the caffeine and/of other chemicals that got me so badly hooked, but I've tried quitting and failed miserably several times. Good luck in your quest for better health through water drinking. Looks like you've got plenty of people rooting for you.
Woohoo! You're almost there! Keep going :D
Go, Crystal, Go!!! You're doing great! Keep it up!!!
On a side note: Hope you make a quick recovery from your surgery!
You Can Do it~~~!!!!!!!~~~~~~
Way to go you are getting there!.. My oldest is a toatal caffine junkie! to teh point that he will buy his own if I won't for him. I love to take the darkberrie and make a smoothie with it and frozen berrie blend. give it a try!
Kids copy their parents... that's why my kids think Coca Cola is the BEST soft drink in the world. It is ALWAYS in the house because their father LOVES it.
(as I said before, I'm a root beer gal myself)
I was forced away from caffeine about 3 years ago because of an inner ear problem. It is hard to give up soda, but now I don't miss it much and find when I do drink something carbonated it gets caught in my throat in a real uncomfortable, OMG I'm going to hurl kind of way ... However, I am now a big fan of the Peach Iced Tea .. Rock On Crystal!
