Day 4

8/8/09

Today I felt like I was about to break. The kids were driving me nuts today as this is the 6th day straight I've had them all to myself. For some reason Pepsi usually just gives me that boost I need. It makes me happy drinking it. I'm hoping that after 7 days without I won't want it any more, but right now I'm thinking that when these 30 days are over I'm having a big glass. Maybe a Big Gulp. Doesn't that sound great? Hopefully I'll only be an occasional Pepsi drinker instead of a compulsive Pepsi drinker when these 30 days are done.

I did eat a spoon of sugar straight out of the sugar jar. I figure that when I was drinking 2 cans of Pepsi a day I was getting 14 spoons, so 1 is really not that bad. Right now I'll do anything to avoid caving in and running to the garage to my emergency bottles. Actually, I would walk. Running still hurts my leg too much.

So far I have saved about $2.20 with this challenge. 4 days of Pepsi is about 8 cans, so that's also 8 less cans I had to pay a 5 cent deposit on. Yay me!
