Like I said before I had a bad headache for pretty much two days. There was at least one day of high tension and irritation. But, I’ve made it a week with no pop. I’ve had lemonade, water and gatorade. Today is the first day that I haven’t thought about breaking down and drinking something. We’ll see how it goes! :)

No pop, soda, Coke or whatever you call all of those carbonated, usually caffinated beverages, for 90 days. I did it once for 30 days and it wasn’t like getting off cocaine or anything, but it certainly wasn’t easy. Here are some statements I found on the web concerning drinking pop. Remember, these are just random places off the web. I make no claims to the validity of any of these statements.
Soda has no nutritional value. It provides unnecessary calories, sugar and caffeine.
Soda drinking increases the odds of obesity more than other foods. Why? Because the energy consumed as liquid often isn’t compensated for by eating less food.
These popular beverages account for more than a quarter of all drinks consumed in the United States.
The acids in soda pop are also notorious for etching tooth enamel in ways that can lead to cavities.
There are 35 to 38 milligrams of caffine per 12-ounce can, that is roughly 28 percent of the amount found in an 8-ounce cup of coffee.
Animal studies demonstrate that phosphorus, a common ingredient in soda, can deplete bones of calcium.
So, I thought I’d try and go 90 days with no pop and see if I can tell the difference. Like I said, I went 30 days once about a year ago and in the end noticed a slight difference in energy. I decided to go 90 days this time to see if there’s more of a difference after the 30 days. I had a heck of a headache yesturday and the day before. The last time I drank any pop was 3 days ago, Friday the 27th at lunch. So far that’s the noticed difference and it’s quite irritating.
