Dewski Replacement

Yesterday, I gave up the diet Dewski. It's been a rough 12 hours, but I'm hanging in there. Also yesterday was my 30 day mark of my "Slim Challenge" diet. The scale reads the same stupid thing it did 30 days ago. So, Katie and Heidi told me, "If you quit drinkin' that diet mountain dew, you'll lose weight." Hence, the sacrifice. This morning though, I may have found my replacement. I was reading about diet soda... Everything I read said that there are several "theories" about WHY diet soda makes you gain weight but there have been several studies that show that there is a direct correlation between diet soda and weight gain. It also said that between regular and diet soda drinkers, the regular soda drinkers were better off. Iiiinteresting. Then, they had suggestions of healthy replacements: water, juice, tea, etc. I never really think about tea because I put it in the "coffee/tea" category. But when Shelbs was out here last week, she was drinking some herbal tea. Sooo, Lindsay hooked me up with some Peach Passion herbal tea this morning. HOLY MONKEY! Peach passion with a tablespoon of sugar rocked my world! And the sugar only made it 45 calories. Mmm.
