At my parents' place, I always grabbed a cake or cookie as my snack when in a rush, or just grazing the cabinets. But then I became a shopper and never bought that stuff. I was amazed to find that I lost all desire for it. <br /><br />Also learned another trick to make water more palatable... cut up and drop in a fresh strawberry or two into your filtered water. It gives a crisp and refreshing taste. Or you can use a few cucumber slices like they do at a spa. Another idea, squeeze in some fresh lemon juice for a bit of tang, and added vitamin C and potassium.<br /><br />(Love the blog, Alyssa... such a good idea!)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138804176909383664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146032165326244593.post-73760648960538424582009-10-22T20:12:29.892-07:002009-10-22T20:12:29.892-07:00Adam - I'm amazed you're not a diet coke-a...Adam - I'm amazed you're not a diet coke-aholic anymore. Good for you! That stuff is pretty lethal.<br /><br />Jen - I will check out the box and let you know the name/brand of the cereal. I still go for a coke once in a while too. I'm pretty much an "everything in moderation" gal. Sometimes an ice cold coke can taste like the most delicious thing on the planet. mmmmmm...Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668124491295366088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146032165326244593.post-68945159524577442222009-10-22T17:40:30.083-07:002009-10-22T17:40:30.083-07:00I've cut pop out almost completely, but every ...I've cut pop out almost completely, but every now & then I cave (usually when I'm eating something even worse like Taco Bell!), but it just tastes so nasty that I go back to my desk and down a whole glass of water just to rinse my mouth out. Bleah. Water (when its filtered) just tastes better than all that sugary goop.<br />The artificial crap is making its way out of our house a bit at a time, but it's hard to remember that when I'm in a rush at the grocery store. I wind up grabbing "the usual" stuff, which isn't good!<br />Also, what's the cereal you mention?jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787211304771462333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146032165326244593.post-50421720145485486002009-10-22T15:33:36.630-07:002009-10-22T15:33:36.630-07:00When I started drinking water about a year ago, be...When I started drinking water about a year ago, before my surgery, I was amazed how much better I feel. I still drink soda occasionally, but water is probably what I drink the majority of the time.<br /><br />Oh, and now I'm hungry for crusty bread and cheese.Avitablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541188721193079705noreply@blogger.com
