Yeah Aqua and WildIrish! This thread is supposed to be all about changes we are trying to make.... so welcome aboard. I was an avid Dew drinker and gave it up cold-turkey about two years ago and haven't looked back. I just decided to start drinking water one day. It lasted about 9 months and then I started into cola's. I presently have 3 full 12 packs of Pepsi sitting in my basement from a sale. I've been drinking nothing but water and milk since about 1/1 and have no complaints. The first few days I'd get an occassional mild headache but that's completely gone. I can't stand the taste of diet sodas so it's just water for me now.

Lucky for me I can't stand the taste of coffee unless its the mild slight bit in a mudslide

Best of luck to both of you in your healthier drinking.

WildIrish - I live for "grab and go". My lunch consists of these items... frozen dinner, pudding cup or jello cup and a piece of fruit (or two!). And breakfast is always a bowl of cold cereal while reading pixies followed up with a container of yogurt at my desk at work.

And dinner for the week is planned based on what gets cooked on the weekends... with a varying supply of frozen vegetables.

The 100 calorie snack packs are my munchie savior. Whoever came up with the idea is a genius!

IAKG - going down in points is supposed to be a good thing... I was only a pound away from that on Monday, so I've been trying to stick to the lower points this week in preparation for what's to come on Monday.

Lilith... just keep thinking about those Mudslides, because I'd like you to have one for me too!
