About this blog:

This blog is eat, pray, love-esque minus the divorce, Buddhism and traveling to exotic places. Okay, so it's really not like eat, pray, love at all considering the most exotic place I've been is the ethnic section at the grocery store while wearing a North Face fleece (because North Face means you like adventures!). Anyway, whether you're here to take a break from Facebook or Pinterest or you need a cure for your insomnia, enjoy!

Challenge accepted. Challenge - FAIL!

I'm just going to put it out there.  I sucked something awful at doing the whole no-more-soda challenge for the month of June.  Despite drinking it more often that I care to admit (and frankly, I couldn't even tell you how much soda I drank if I tried), I decided I actually do not particularly care for it.  When I stopped and thought about it, I honestly realized how much it takes like carbonated chemicals.  I only drink diet soda so I can't speak to the taste of regular soda anymore.  However, it got me thinking.  (Brace yourselves.  This could get ugly.)

If I stopped and really thought about whether or not I want or even like a particular food or drink before I consumed it, how much less junk would I be putting in my body?  You may be saying, "No crap, Columbo," but while it sounds like a logical thing to do, how often do we actually stop and think about what we put in our bodies?  Sure, I think I'll buy all the healthy stuff in the produce section at the grocery store, but it comes down to it do I truly like these things or am I buying them because I think I have to since they're healthy or because I think I want it/like it when I really don't?

Therefore, I proclaim:
I do not like my soda pop.
I would not drink it with a cop.
I do not like it in my house.
I do not like it, Santa Klaus.
I will not drink it with a boar.
I do not want it anymore.



PS - I will be playing around with more recipes and will blog about those after some trial-and-error.  :)
