Making little changes each day. I had given up soda almost a year ago when I got sick. I started several months ago drinking on occasion root beer which of course has no caffeine in it but still full of sugar. I had gotten so I was drinking one or two bottles a day (16 oz). The last couple of weeks that has really dwindled down because all of a sudden it just became so sweet that I didn't really care for it. I have had one bottle that I finally finished tonight at supper after about 4 days. I am now trying infused water. I bought me a tervis glass since they are good for both cold and hot drinks. I filled it half way with frozen berries, poured cold water over it and have let it sit for several hours. I now have some very tasty berry flavored water.. No added sugar... Will be adding lemons and limes to my grocery list for the week to try those too. I also am going to try tea. I have never been a coffee drinker , I just don't like the taste or smell for that matter. I do love iced tea (the sweet type unfortunately) but never really tried hot tea. I have a Keurig and am going to see about tea sampler to see if I can find something I like. I drink more water than anything else but from time to time want something different...water just gets old and boring. LOL
I am adding a supplement as of this morning (3/8/2014) to my diet. Horse Chestnut. I have considerable swelling in my legs and this was recommended for me to try so I am giving it a shot. Surely can't hurt and I have read really good reviews about it helping. My right leg is far far worse than my right.
Hubby is going fishing today with our middle son and some friends. It's that time of year when fishing starts up more and I become a fishing widow on the weekends LOL It's ok.. I love that he can get out and enjoy time with his friends, and our son(s).
Well I am off to read for awhile after I finish up the grocery list for the week.
Until later ~P
