In high school and college I had a pretty heavy soda habit, which I understand is nothing compared to others habits. I always tried to curb excessive use and keep it to one soda a day. Every once in a while I would give it up for a period of time, but start up again after a while because it is such a delicious and refreshing beverage! But several books, documentaries, shows, and celebrities have convinced me that soda is REALLY bad for me. And it costs money that I could be spending on other, better, drinks.
My drink of choice was Coke for a very long time. And in Grad school, where I developed all kinds of unhealthy habits, I switched to Diet Coke. I don't think one is better for you, but somehow the calories consumed where what made me switch. I don't like club soda or other sodas like sprite, 7-up, or ginger ale as much. By the way, has anyone noticed that ginger ale tried to pass itself off as a natural drink by advertising that it COULD be sold in the produce aisle since it contains ginger! So anyway, for the month of February all soda is off limits--even in mixed drinks, (thank goodness for beer!) Hopefully the choice of no soda goes hand-in-hand with several other "good" habits. Here goes nothing.
congrats on your blog and your 12 30 day resolutions. keep it going, kelly! i'm rooting for you. just remember what you're doing now, no matter what it is, is better than being in studio. and as all my friends would constantly repeat to each other: "it's easy to get a job, just hard to get a job that you like." you'll know when it's time to just get a job and not THE job. trust that you'll know. xo sarah lippmann
