I've been terrible at chronicling this little experiment... and that was the whole point: accountablility. Even if it was just to a computer. If I lied and said I've been doing a great job the last 2 weeks, Sean would totally call me out. So here comes honesty: I have fallen off the wagon a bit. But I'm getting back on this week, Computer.
Here's the okay news: even though I've had more than my allotted 3 servings of diet soda a week, I've still been drinking a lot less of it than I was before I started tea-replacement therapy. And I've had a TON of tea, so hopefully all those antioxidants have been tipping the scale.
I've been drinking a lot of chamomile tea, too, which I'd always thought was nothing more than a very mild and tasty sedative. Turns out, chamomile is actually pretty good for you, too. It's like a super-opiate*! Unless the poweful American Chamomile Lobby is pulling one over on us, it's supposed to help soothe stomach woes, cramps, cold symptoms, and anxiety. It also allegedly boosts your immune system.
Anyway, the point of this is to say that I'm back on the wagon, tea-drinkin' it up.
*Not really. That's not at all what it is.
