So, I’ve decided this week to give up pop. I was standing in line at the E-Bar at Nordstrom where I work this Sunday with a Coke in hand ready to go to my hour long heavenly lunch break. I stood there, patiently waiting, and looked at the pop and thought… “What am I doing?!” and put it back and got a water instead. Despite the fact that I recently got a horrendous Charlie Horse, which are most commonly caused by low potassium levels and dehydration, I’ve been super oily lately which is also caused by dehydration. So I’ve been downing the water and just realized I drink way too much pop.

I’m hoping to give up bad habits/foods/things each week (or somewhere close) to live a healthier life. So far this week, I’ve caught myself ordering a Pepsi with food but correct myself with “Actually… just a water will do”. I’ve felt better so far, and actually don’t really crave the pop. Thank God! We’ll see if it starts to help with weight loss too. Speaking of which, I’m going to the gym tomorrow for the first time since before Christmas. I’ve gotten out of habit and NEED to get back into it!

What sacrifices have you made to live a healthier life?
