Kat on the Run Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I am at a week without diet coke today. I was at a week last Friday too but the one drink option included diet pepsi, and after my friends had been really good about the gluten-free dinner, I couldn't be more high maintenance. I'll be in charge of drinks from now on though! 1 Quote Train so your heroes become your peers. Link to comment

Hiroro Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 One week left Compared to other diet changes, surprisingly smooth sailing. Though there aren't any restaurants around here with tempting cocktails. I'll probably go all the way until 9/26, when I'm visiting home. 1 Quote #1 #2 #3 #3.1 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #13.5 #14 #15 #16 # 17 #18 #19 #20 #21 Current Challenge Battle Log Level 18 Pixie Ranger Link to comment
ShadowLion Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Great going, everyone! Most of you are sailing along, and even if you've had a setback, just get back on it and keep going! To give everyone an update - Auro is working on an actual web app and it is really cool. It will determine levels automatically and free me from having to do that by hand. (Yay!) We expect that there will be another influx of people coming in at the beginning of this next challenge. With that in mind, and the fact that I am extremely busy (sorry I am not responding as often or to each individual lately!), I want to give everyone a heads up about what to expect. The app is designed for you to enter your total number of continuous days when you sign up and to give you your level. We are just about out of days on the spreadsheet, so it will probably be easiest to just keep track independently for the little time we have left. Auro is making fast progress, and will hopefully have the first stage of the app ready to test within the next few days. My participation will not be daily, but more along the lines of 2 -3 times per week. You have all been really good about encouraging and supporting each other, so please keep doing what you are doing and make the newcomers welcome! I will get on as often as I can. 1 Quote All men dream, but not equally.

Bad news is I drank Mirinda on Friday while I was coming back from college ._."This message was brought to you by my fingers which were activated by the electrical signals sent from my brain through a network of nerves and ganglia". What do you need to do to keep yourself from drinking soda? Now that your wifi is back, one suggestion I would make is for you to post daily - especially while we don't have a spreadsheet - to let people know how you resisted soda. That might help you get a streak going that you will not want to break . Reinforce the positive, as opposed to the negative. That would also be more helpful to your fellow PVPers. It can be difficult for those who are struggling to maintain their streak when someone else is posting at regular intervals that they are not. This can be a bit of a difficult balance. I want everyone to participate and let the group know how they are doing, their successes and their failures, but let's emphasize the successes. Does that make sense? Is there anything we can do to help you in emphasizing your successes and working to build on them? Quote All men dream, but not equally.

No soda/clean for two weeks straight is KIND OF AN AWESOME THING FOR ME so that's a start of a new chapter, right?? My next target is: artificial juices—ahyuk!

ShadowLion Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 That is your best yet! Now let's focus on how to get another streak like that and even increase it! Posting frequently will help you focus and may even help you remember to bring that water bottle along. I know I have to have my water bottle. Sometimes I'm getting in my car and realize I don't have it and have to run back in the house to get it. It's so hot where I live that I keep two bottles full all the time and store one in the refrigerator so I always have a cold one ready to go. That kind of planning ahead has saved my streak a number of times. It's been super hard to resist soda those times that I've forgotten my water! Quote All men dream, but not equally.

ShadowLion Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hmmm. That's a problem. My water bottles are similar to the type used for hiking. They have a sealable top, but I wouldn't want to take them into a restroom either, at least not without putting them into something that would seal around them, like a plastic bag, and either be disposable or go inside my purse.

Anaticula Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Still no soda today, but I am very very tempted. We ordered a pizza for supper and my brother got a 20 oz pepsi with it, well, they sent a 2 liter instead, and told us to just keep it. It is currently in the fridge calling me name.
