Well, the bumps in the non-soda-drinking road had to come sooner or later...
My husband and I work long, hard days (not by our own choice, it's just the way our jobs are for a moment), and I guess I've been relying on those sugar jolts even more than I realized. I've been exhausted, unable to do even minimal exercise to try to rev myself up, and reaching for other forms of sugar to try to keep in forward motion.
Quitting soda is great, but eating a candy bar for breakfast is not.
So clearly, for me, this is just one piece of the dietary/lifestyle puzzle. You cannot withdraw 1/4 of a cup of sugar a day from your diet and then replace it with whatever sugar or carb you have on hand. Increased water intake alone isn't going to do it. With a little extra rest today, I might be able to figure out what to fill those holes with.
