Cutting Soda

So I canceled my workout with my trainer today because I went to DelGrosso's with a friend instead, but no worries, I got a workout in before I left and of course walking around the park. It was a beautiful day and nice to spend it outside.

So my "tip" for today is about soda.  As I stated yesterday, 3500 calories equals 1lb.  If drink 2 20oz bottles of soda a day, you are consuming an extra 5.250 calories approximately.  (1 bottle has 2.5 servings in it)  If you eliminate soda from your diet, you can basically cut out a pound and a half almost of extra calories a week!  At the very least, switch to diet sodas.  I am trying to to cut it out completely but I'm taking steps towards it (that it really the key to everything, if you try to do everything at once, you're more likely to feel deprived and go back.)  My first step was just switching from regular to diet.  If that's too much for a step, start by doing half and half, half regular half diet and work your way to all diet.  My next step is going to the flavored carbonated water (I don't remember what they actually call it)  but anyways, it will give you the carbonation feeling and fizzy feeling without it being soda.
