I finished! & being addicted

I have to say that this class had to of been the most dreaded, longest class I've taken...ever!  I think my mind was not in the class 100% because during week 3 I decided that I didn't want my Master's degree in the program I was enrolled in and this class didn't matter to my new choice.  So I floated in the class and did what was necessary.  Nothing more, nothing less.  I should get an A, but would still be happy with a B.  I guess this class can be used as an elective towards my new degree plan later this fall.

Now...let the fun begin!

On another note I have been pop free for 6 days!  I decided last Thursday night that it was my last day being an addict of drinking pop.  Cold turkey quit!  The first 3 days were miserable.  Pain stacking headaches.  Noise.  Light.  I wanted to succumb to my bed for those 3 days.  I went to bed earlier than usual to fight the craving.  I ate A LOT more than usual, mostly crackers.  It wasn't easy, but I feel I can kick this addiction.  Pepsi was the problem.  Coke light was a runner up.  Now I'm loving my water with crystal light flavors.  I'm not sure how long I can go without caving in, but I'm going to give it my all!

Yesterday was probably the hardest.  I craved it.  I didn't have a headache, I just wanted it!  I had to run to the stores and just knew that I would end up buying one.  I asked Nick before I left if I would be the most horrible person if I bought a Pepsi.  He said no because I stopped suddenly and I was drinking 2 a day for the longest time.  As long as I only bought one and didn't go buy another one the next day.  Good news.  I fought the urge.  I succeeded because I walked out of both stores without one in my shopping bags!

Could drinking coffee be just as bad?  I've ask myself this every single day since quitting pop.  I put creamer and 3 tsp of sugar in every cup I drink.  Most days I drink 2 cups, but since stopping pop, I've had to enjoy an extra cup in the afternoon.  So, is it the same difference?  All the sugar, all the same?  Someone please tell me honestly that coffee is way better than a pop, lol.  I'm hoping this is the case!

I'm going to kick this unhealthy, but so refreshing, addiction to the curb and pray that i'm successful.  6 days is a lot.  I'm taking this one, one day at a time.  That's all I really can do.

Have a great day!
