I've decided to start a blog series about bettering my health. Each Monday, I will take at least one step towards improving my health on a permanent basis. I'll be honest here - I'm not really looking forward to this. Trading in my bad habits for good ones has never really been my forte. I'm hoping that by going public, I will be more inclined to keep up the good work.
And, I'm really hoping that you will join in with me a time or two to improve your health as well. Please leave a comment and tell me about it if you decide to come along on this ride with me. I'd love to hear from you!
First up: Giving up, FOR GOOD (aack!), my beloved diet pepsi. Diet Pepsi and I have had a long, tumultuous, on again/off again, love-hate relationship for years. I think now it's finally time to say good-bye to this no-good thief of good health once and for all.
*sniff* I'm going to miss you Diet Pepsi. You've been sweet and you've been an energy lift but it's time I find someone who will treat me and my kidneys better than you ever will.
And my bones. And my teeth. And my bottom line (literally).
Want a list of reason why pop is bad for you? Here's a quick, to-the-point article on the subject:
This isn't going to be easy. I work at a restaurant. I am surrounded by a large variety of pop 5 days out of the week. It is my job to pour this stuff up for other people, hours on end. I think I can do it though. I just have to keep reminding myself that with every sip I take, I am literally poisoning my body. Blech.
Next week, I will talk about the importance of water consumption. Obviously, I'm going to have to substitute something for the pop I drink. Water seems like the best way to go. :) I hope I see you next week!
