Since I am trying to eat healthier I have decided that I really need to cut back on soda. I am a Coca Cola addict and I cut back when I was pregnant and has since cut back, but I have yet to go a day without at least one can of Coke. I am trying though to broaden my horizons and drink other products but nothing satisfies my caffeine craving like a Coke.
So far I have been adding lemonade and fruit punch powders to my water, and I stocked up on juice so that is helping. One thing I came across while playing around on the Internet is a Soda siphon. It is a quick and easy contraption that you can prepare pure soda water, sparkling refreshments and cocktails. I haven’t read too much about it yet, but I figure it is something to look into. So far I have seen that you add water and a soda charger fizzes it. I also came across another cool product called a Cream dispenser that dispenses fluffy, light whipped cream at the press of a button. So I figure instead of drinking so much, I might try snacking on Jell-O or mousse and what better way than to use a cream dispenser to pop out some whip cream!
I know I am indecisive and go back and forth but I do love my caffeine and my sweets. I figure too that I would use a cream dispenser for hot chocolate or iced coffee, of course and on ice cream and strawberries too! Anyways so yes I find strange things when searching around the Internet and sometimes I don’t even know how I got to something, but I do come across fun things that would make my life easier, maybe not necessary but still fun.

I was a major Coca Cola addict too! I used to have 3 large Cokes from McDonalds every day and then I decided to give them up. I haven’t had a Coke since February 19th of this year. There are days I totally crave one, but I’m not giving in!

Oh McDonalds Coke is the best! Good for you though!

I went cold turkey a little after high school. I didn’t have the best skin and my dermatologist told me to stop drinking so much soda. So I eventually did and I don’t keep any in the house now. I might have it every once and a while but I just love plain old water. Good luck kicking the coke!… my weakness is code red mtn dew… 🙂

I used to be a caffeine junkie, but I went cold turkey when I was pregnant with my first and it really helped my headaches and stomachaches when I stopped (after the withdrawal of course!)

I cut back to 1 soda a day but I think Coke is my drug and I can’t imagine not having a can a day!
