I have tried and failed at so many things in my life. I get very fired up to try something, and after a few days or weeks… I simply fizzle out.
Diets fall into this category, of course. I have tried many different diets and weight loss plans in my life, only to fail after a few weeks because I get tired of following a plan. Or I get off track, and just never get back on again.
But there is one thing these last several months that I am very proud to say I have stayed committed to. One healthy lifestyle change I have made and stuck with.
As of today, I have gone 124 days without caffeine.
I have gone without coffee, Pepsi, Mountain Dew… I have not had iced tea, no diet or regular pop/soda… I’ve eliminated it from my diet.
I now only drink 7-Up, Sierra Mist, Sprite, or water.
What’s crazy is that I never in a million years thought I could do it. BUT I DID. I haven’t been tempted, I haven’t cheated. I haven’t once taken even a tiny sip. I’ve been to parties or get-togethers where caffeinated beverages are my only choice, and I’ve opted for water.
Sometimes it makes me wonder. If I am capable of this, I might be capable of so much more.
