Coming soon (Lord Willing)...
..FEAST..
Food..FEAST..
Energy
Attitude
Schedules
Time
...These are my secret weapon...
(I'll tell you why later)
FEAST will focus on how food effects your energy, how your energy effects your attitude, how your attitude effects your schedule, how your schedule effects how you manage your time and how you manage your time effects what you decide to fill your body with to provide you with the energy and attitude you need to effectively schedule your day. Whooh, that was a long sentence! I plan to include an easy, healthy recipe each week as well.
Let me start by saying, I am a work in progress. I learn each day how to better spend my time, what foods provide me with more energy and how to effectively run our house.
September 23rd, 2007 I decided to cut soda from my diet. Period. My goal was to go 30 days, I really wanted to go a year, but that seemed like a very long time to go with out my favorite drink. I didn't know if I could survive with out my late afternoon caffeine boost. I didn't tell anyone the first few weeks because I was afraid I would fail. I didn't want to be a loser. Well I made it 7 days, then a week, then a month and now it has been over a year! Laugh if you want, I was addicted. Diet Coke was my drug of choice. I would start drinking around 4 or 5 in the afternoon & have one in hand the rest of the day. My shopping cart was an oxymoron, organic produce and organic dry goods right along side mycase cases of diet coke.
If I can stop drinking diet coke, anything is possible.
Be sure to join in.
I'd love to hear your comments & suggestions!

great idea! yeah, pop is a no no around here too. only once in awhile with pizza. i have those same running shoes....just a different color.
Okay....so I have thought about giving up diet pepsi but than I drank one anyway. so what do you drink besides water? I do get my water in so ...I like crystal lite but i'm sure that isn't good either. Lemonaide? Juice? Tea? What does Corwin take in his lunch for drink? I need ideas. Sometimes I want something besides water. I'm excited to hear more about FEAST.
Hi Cindy,
I drink mostly water with fresh squeezed lemon or limes. I like fresh limes best. Stringtown normally has them fairly cheap. I have found that after cutting soda I started to carve water. I do like 'bubbles' so I also drink carbonated water like Poland Springs or Mendoda. Corwin really likes Spearmint garden tea with Agave Nectar. I make gallons of that each week using a Mr Coffee Tea maker. In the summer I freeze it in milk jugs and he takes it with him. He also drinks water and Gatorade (I am not a big fan of that stuff!) I buy the loose dried tea leaves at Stringtown. My boys like it too. I have crystal light lemonade in the fridge some too. I know the artificial sweetener isn't good for us, but I still allow it once in a while.
I'm excited to hear about this FEAST, too. Always need some encouraging words about time management and putting it all together. Lisa
Sounds exciting! I can't wait!
I think often of giving up pop but I'm not sure I can do it!!!!
I am looking forward to hearing more. Love your blog. We gave up soda as well as coffee. Really have not noticed a difference. We got a water cooler installed because water here is gross. Even the kids prefer water of anything else. Well they prefer Milk then water!
