The No Soft Drink Challenge
Hedge:
I like protein shakes, too. I read somewhere that the body can only process about 20 grams of protein at a time, so I try to space it out if I have one that has lots in it.
I like Ensure, too, even though it's expensive. So easy to grab a bottle and head out the door.
(I haven't had a soda with sugar in years - Diet Coke is my drink of choice. I think it's worth trying to give up or limit artificial sweeteners though!)
Che Gookin:
Keep it up Hedge! Not sure about the protein thing, I used to drink massive protein shakes after working out, but it only made me do horrible things in the bathroom that a proper gentleman shouldn't discuss in gentle company. Now I tend to just munch on dried wasabi peas and such for protein, get plenty of it from that.
Hedge:
Yes! The horrible things in the bathroom is what happens because your body can't process the protein!
I love wasabi peas too. My desk drawer is empty without them.
So: today I did a "creature of habit" thing: when I went to my favorite spot for veggie dogs downtown, I got a diet soda. (At least it's a diet orange cream, so I didn't blow it for my usual b.s. :roflmao: )
Number of diet sodas since start of challenge: 1

I have one like this that has a handle on it. It is perfect for loose leaf green tea and such. The wire mesh screen that you can see poking down a bit under the lid keeps you from having to drink tea through your teeth. Anyway, the restaurant I lost mine at had it waiting for me when I walked in last night. I haven't been there in nearly three weeks and I had already bought another one. Well I lost the second one on a bus trip and went back to the restaurant for dinner and they gave me back my first one.
Back in business, and business is good.
Green tea provides all of my caffenine needs without the sugar and it is chock full of decent stuff.
