Day 2 and 3 down!

I didn’t get a chance to update this weekend because I spent a few days in New York City with my best friend. It was a fantastic time. There was a five hour drive from Syracuse to New York, and that was basically where my biggest cravings came from. I’m used to popping open a Red Bull, Dew, or Monster right before a long drive to keep my focus and get a little hyper so the drive goes by more quickly. We stopped at a gas station for drinks, and it took basically everything in me to not grab one. However I went with a 100% fruit juice and it was super tasty.

In the city, there wasn’t much temptation because of all of the amazing options available – smoothies, chai tea, etc. I had been doing a lot of research in the previous week on ways to help break the addiction, and one of the ways was to actually get sleep when your body seems tired. So, I went to bed nice and early and it seemed to work wonders. I didn’t have a craving as large as they usually are in the morning. Very nice.

Today I am doing fine. Still drinking lots of water. I got the pleasure of a few friends bringing some water bottles to the Honor Bright show on Friday, which was really nice to see their support.
