So Far

I have been off of soda and on reduced salt for a few weeks now. The biggest difference so far, is that I am drinking a great deal more water. I am up to about 8-10 glasses a day(at work). Maybe my body is cleaning itself out or maybe it is just the weather.

The Biggest Bonus I can think of right now is that if I were drinking half as much soda it would be $5 a day. So my diet is saving me about $25 a week so far.

Another "Side Effect" is that I seem to wake up drinking the water. I am not having the sugar/caffine spikes I would get with other drinks. I do think water is the way to go, though I did slip and get a small gatorade with my lunch today.

I think the next steps are going to be:

1. More Fiber
2. More Fruit
3. More Veggies

Still, I want to do this without changing too much. If the change is too drastic I will never stick with it.
