I'm on day 21 of no soda! I was surprised I didn't have the withdrawal symptoms this time - of course I am still getting the caffeine, just not as much in CL Focus and more than I was used to in the CL Energy mix.
Good things I've noticed:
1. I no longer begin to feel sluggish in the middle of my morning (sugar crash?).
2. I seem to be able to keep it going and I'm getting the same amount of work done in less time. My mind seems to be clear, more focused although it does occasionally wander to other things I need to do.
3. Not sure if my sleep has benefited or not - I think I'm going to say "no change". Although I think, I'm able to get up and going quicker - most days.
4. The gassiness in the morning has greatly diminished, but still there - unlike past times.
Things that have not improved:
1. My desire for something sweet. No better/no worse than before.
2. My weight and bloating!! I've actually gained and measure bigger too :(. This one I don't understand at all. I would like to blame Uncle Tom, but he hasn't showed, so... Wondering if it's all worth it.
Keep in mind, the ONLY change I've made to my diet/lifestyle is stopping the soda habit. Nothing else has been added or subtracted - yet. Trying to figure out what's next - drop more sugar or bring back my walking. I'm leaning towards the walking. I loved the way I felt then and I was still drinking my Mt Dew (but I'm glad I'm off that and I have no intentions of starting it up again!)
