Lent 2008

Last year I avoided crisps and chocolate for 40 days.  This year I decided on fizzy drinks and caffeine. Before last Wednesday I was drinking about a dozen cans of Coke a week, sometimes more when stressed.  Then I went cold turkey. After a couple of days feeling lethargic, I'm now sleeping better, feeling more awake during the day, am less irritable and I can concentrate better.  I'm thinking of doing without caffeine and fizzy drinks on a semi-permanent basis.  I'm eating a little more, but I think that's just my body trying to make up for the lost calories. Overall I'd say this is a win! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.
