Diet Coke: You Hold No Power Over Me Now!
Ha ha ha! I can laugh at that sign now! Why? Because today is Day 7 of #DumpDietCoke! I’ve had a few moments (less than 5) where I had to dig into my Emergency Diet Coke. Overall, however, #DumpDietCoke is going very well! I’ve experienced a bit more fatigue and I miss Diet Coke when I eat the foods I’d always have Diet Coke with (Tex-Mex, breakfast tacos). Those are just behavioral expectations developed over many years, and it will take some time to break away from that.
I must confess that I’ve been allowing wine and margaritas to replace a Diet Coke during some evenings this week. But let’s face it, drinking wine and margaritas would have taken place regardless of me dumping of Diet Coke. Now, they just play a … uh, let’s call it, medicinal role … in helping ease any caffeine withdrawal headaches.
And hey, here’s another bonus of quitting Diet Coke! I always hated going to a restaurant when they had only Pepsi products and no Diet Coke. Now that I don’t drink Diet Coke – or any soda for that matter – it’s no problem!
File This Under What The Heck???
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this – it’s actually real. If I had seen a photo, I would have told you that someone was really creative with Photoshop. A friend told me that he tried them, and they tasted like “salty maple syrup.” Thanks, but I think I’ll pass.
That’s the way it is at my house – and I bet that’s the way it is for you, too, if you’re a runner!
Thanks for reading!

I saw those Lays chips at some store recently and thought that sounded like a terrible chip flavor. Oh, and I do sort my laundry that way!
I get a little queasy every time I see those chips at the check out stand at my local drug store. I actually saw that some people were selling them on eBay. Hard to find, I guess!
Got your note. I don’t usually eat chips,
drink coke. Once in a great while I drink
margarita’s, small amount. I try to drink
white or red wine (health) somewhat
regularly, small amount 1/2 glass. I really
try to eat natural foods. I kind of follow
Jack Lalaine’s diet. I am sort of old-
fashioned. ELAINE GRACE STEWART
