Breaking the soda habit

(We interrupt your regularly scheduled kid nutrition blog to bring you some mommy nutrition.)
I’ve been remiss in posting recently—mostly due to a crazy work schedule and taking a class for my master’s degree that involves a ton reading and writing. In addition to reading a novel a week, we are responsible for a chapter a week from the textbook, and my first paper is due Thursday on gender issues in Jane Eyre. It would help if I would finish the book.
Anyway, all this angst has driven me back to a nasty soda habit. I’ve always had a weakness for the carbonated stuff—Dr Pepper is my all-time favorite. A few years ago, on Weight Watchers, I managed to wean myself off the high-test stuff only to end up with a Diet Coke habit, which is going strong again.
Sitting on the sofa Sunday watching football & popping open a soda, (yes, I know I should have been working on the paper instead) I started to think about my downward slide. Besides my hectic schedule and the lack of sleep that comes from having a little one in the house, I think a lot of my lack of energy has to do with my soda habit.
So, watch out co-workers, I’m dumping out the rest of the can on my desk & heading to the water cooler for my liquid refreshment. I’ll probably be crabby for a couple of days with caffeine withdrawal, but it’s for the best. Now I just need to stock up on seltzer and fresh lemons, my standard kicking-the-soda-habit alternative.
