I have not had a drop of soda in seventy-six days. 76! That's huge for me. I had such a terrible addiction to Coke and Cherry 7-Up. It was insane and unhealthy and there was no real reason for it because I'm one of those people who actually likes water. But I'm like a junkie in need of a fix with soda - moderation doesn't work. I had managed to give up soda for six months at one point, until one day I thought, "it's been long enough, a small diet coke won't hurt me." It was like a deluge opened and I would have excuse after excuse for not stopping again. It's a weird addiction to have, but I'm learning that the reasons I want soda are muddled in a mess of things and it's best to avoid it if I can.
76 days!
I want to take this victory and use it to go into other areas of my life. It's all about small steps, making small changes, and it's also all about making sure I'm proud of my accomplishments.
In other news, I am using the WordPress journal I set up awhile ago to join in on a writing adventure with a great group. It's the Serpentine Road and I know it will be great for unleashing my creativity. I'm so focused on numbers lately that it's causing me to freeze up. And it makes me dread writing - I hate feeling like that. I'm also hoping to do more random writing in this blog as well. I'm not sure where my block is coming from - life, fear, me - but I'm ready to plow through it.

Good for you, that is a great victory. I quit smoking and can so relate to the deluge after months if I think, "Just one won't hurt..."
Hi, Mare: Glad you could join us on the Serpentine Road.
