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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />I think the next steps are going to be:<br /><br />1. More Fiber<br />2. More Fruit<br />3. More Veggies<br /><br />Still, I want to do this without changing too much. If the change is too drastic I will never stick with it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4889027181679953"; google_ad_width = 234; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "234x60_as"; google_ad_type = "text"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = "336699"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_url = "008000"; google_color_text = "000000"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Toddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17719813114715027966noreply@blogger.com
