Today makes a week!
In preparation for our upcoming trip to the mountains of Lake City, CO, it was suggested that we cut back on sodas (pop for my OH friends) and drink more water.
This was not something that I was looking forward to. I generally dislike drinking water. It's like drinking air - colorless, flavorless, etc.
BTW - this can be added to the list of differences between me and "Wife of RevPhil." Water is her favorite beverage.
Anyway, at the conclusion of the youth Port A trip in June, I cut soda out of my drinking. I was hitting the lemonade and tea and Crystal Light and Gatorade and feeling pretty good about myself for staying off the bubbly stuff.
Last Monday I decided to go off all of that and hit only water.
So, as of today, it's been 168 hours and the only thing I've had to drink besides water has been a swig of apple juice and the milk from one bowl of cereal on Saturday. Sometimes I make it 2-3 minutes without thinking of heading down to Schumann Hall and gulping down a 20 oz. Diet Coke with Lime. Not bad!
This is without a doubt the longest I've ever gone on water only. And I'm not really feeling different. I'm planning on keeping the water flowing throughout the rest of this week and in Colorado, so we'll see - that will be a full 19 days, so maybe I'll be a different person then - completely cleansed and uber-healthy.
Who knows, maybe I'll never drink anything but water again...water and communion wine (or juice).
Yeah, right.
Until next time - RevPhil

You must be peeing like a feind!
Water is my favorite beverage. Before I married Phil...I went 7+ years without drinking soda. I don't say that to brag; however, I wanted the readers to know what kind of influence Phil has had on my life:) Now, I even drink the hard stuff...like Coke:)

As an honor of Phil's Colorado trip coming up, I told him that I was going to put up my best effort on drinking water for a day-maybe even 2 or a week! Now, I have done this before, but it isn't something that I enjoy. I don't like the feeling of all that fluid being sloshed around in my gut plus being stuffed and not to mention the additional restroom visits. Once you break the seal, you are finished!!!!
Well, I failed. I started off good and then that same day I had a Tea with lunch! Loser I am. Phil, hats off to you! Maybe this will change your whole attitude and you will go all natural. Are you the next vegetarian?!!!
