Day 26 There's a Magical Soda Heaven Somewhere in Texas

Why? Why did Coca-Cola pick THIS year, the year I have chosen to banish soda from my life? They have created the ultimate in soda technology, the 100 flavor Freestyle soda machine, a machine with every imaginable soda flavor Coke can think of. The touch screen machines are being tested in several different fast food establishments, none of which I will mention here, lest you all let your thirsty ambitions lead you down those dark and fizzy waters of temptation. Being something of a soda aficionado, I am intrigued by the wonder of mixing soda flavors but also repulsed by the possibilities of gluttonous savagery, led by over sugared children in a Pre- Diabetic free for all. The news video was a little scary, one woman who had shown up for the unveiling states that she had already tried several flavors and was coming back after work to fill up again. Rats, I've been foiled again, the upper echelons of Coca-Cola must have caught wind of my combative efforts to end the syrupy fizz war once and for all. No matter, my one woman show will go forward, warning the masses of soda induced muffin tops and sugar inspired back fat, I will prevail!
In other news, I spent 4 hours in the lobby of a car repair shop today and had to search for water, to the East there was a Taco Bell, to the North, a gas station, I chose North, so as not to even temp myself in wistful smells of beans and cheese or any other type of fast food tomfoolery. Water, I found the Oasis and was blissfully hydrated, standing in the glare of gas station soda-land, score one for me.

Day 1 The Boycott of Fast food and soda

Today is January 1st, which begins 365 days of the swearing off of fast food. I am committed to eating at home and also eliminating soda. I love soda so this is going to be difficult. I love full sugar soda, diet soda, soda that could be called fizzy juice, I love it all. I will bring my lunch to work or buy it directly from the grocery store EVERY day. No more pizza buffets, no more Sonic grilled cheese or yummy yummy burritos, I'm done! The purpose of this experiment is to see how much money I can save by eating at home and to see if my new eating habits, affect how my clothes fit. Right now I wear a size 16 (I don't do scales) so let's see if that changes with the elimination of grease and processed crap. On a side note, I am going to attempt to eat healthier at home and add some herbs to my diet. For the last few days, I have been drinking ginger green tea and adding different things like Cayenne to help with blood sugar and stuff. We'll see how it goes! http://www.fastfoodboycott.blogspot.com/
