my sacrifice (sorta)

On Monday, Mr.Sutherland gave us a quick write to see how life would be if we had to give up something for two days. Everyone thought that two days was to easy so he bumped it up to a week. He told that  those of us who were commited enought should give that particular thing and try to go with out it for a week. So I thought that i should try and give up soda for a whole week.and see if that works out and see how my body would be able to handle the change and from there try to move my goal gradually up to just not drinking soda at all.I thought that this would be a legit item for me to give up seeing how i drink excessive amouunts of Dr.pepper a day.

After lunch on Monday of May third, i gave up my soda. That evening i had just gotten done with my homework and had ate dinner, it was about six thirty or so and i had a mayjor craving for a soda, i could feel a nice cold dr.pepper running down my throat. From that moment i realized that givin up soda for a week would be alot harder than i had anticipated.he same night i had a dream, it wasnt anything special, just me at my house at some sort of party. In the dream i opened up a dr.pepper and chunged it in a single breathe, after doin so i thought to my self that i was'nt supposed to be drinking this and then i threw down the can, woke up and had to go to morning practice.

On May fourth after practice, my dad had driven me and my brother home, my mom took my little brother to practice and I was home alone. Generally i spend a good amount of time on the computer, and whats in that same room? All of my soda, theres even a can or so in the fridge. I thought that i could easily just take one and just throw the can outside so that no one would know. But then when my week is up, that woulnt be a true accomplishment. so i just grabbed a glass of water and drank that instead, but it wasnt satisfying enough, it felt like eating tofu, you can down alot of it and still feel empty.

I did manage to find a temorary alternative, tea. Not hime made iced tea, or hot tea, but those quick pack that you dump in water and then shake it. Im not so sure how heathy they are for you, but its a hell of alot better than drinking soda that has anywhere from 100-200 calories. My mom haded me an ice cream bar the other day and it only had 70! thats pretty cool. So when i do go to lunch today and they ask me what i want to drink, i have to get a water and mix it with my packet and have my instant tea. but on the bright side i got everything else thats not a soda, like juice, slushies and whole bunch of stuff. Even better, i only have four more days.
