Soda

First of all, to all of you northerners... it is SODA. not Pop. I don't care what you say. I lived in Michigan for 4 years. I still say Soda. That is what it is.

Now, my thoughts of soda (yes, I realize this is a silly post... but go with me here).

I love Coke. If you know me at all... you know that. I don't do Pepsi or other imitation Cola products. I love Coke. My other favorite soda? Barq's Root Beer. Those are my soda's of choice. And most of the time, I have NO self control when it comes to drinking them. Put it in front of me, I suck it down. Get a free refill? You bet I stand in line to fill up my cup on the way out. It is so bad.

But, maybe... just maybe yesterday I have learned my lesson.

You see, I gave up soda for Lent. I have done it before, but I decided it was time to do it again. So, I did. And now I can have it again. Except I have noticed how sick I get after I drink the stuff. Seriously! Ok, ok... I mean, not sick like I am throwing up. But sick like I feel queasy and like my stomach is ten times its normal size.

Yesterday I had a leftover Coke from my parents house in my car. I brought in to drink in the morning. Then we went to Chick-fil-a for lunch. Obviously, had a Coke with lunch and then filled it up on the way out.

I felt soooo sick for the rest of the afternoon. No kidding!! I had a headache because of the sugar overload... plus my stomach was bloated... i just felt gross. So, I think I am going to permanently cut down on my soda intake. Because I didn't like how I felt yesterday. It was no fun.

There ya go... welcome to my random thoughts!
