Good Morning STACer's,
Well what's one good addiction to another. I need a good swift kick in the butt. About a month ago, I was really tired, most of you know that I'm a singer/songwriter and I keep a very hectic schedule. I perform 3 - 4 nights a week plus hold down a 50 hour a week job on top of that.
I stopped at a gas station. No Diet Coke, no Diet Rite, hmmm what's this.....ROCKSTAR, no carbs, sugar free, sucralose....sweet. Bartendar, I'll take 2. Drank one that night, energy off the wall. It was amazing.
Amazing enough that an old 'addictive' pro like myself should have seen the warning signs and didn't take my own advice of 'walk away, old man, walk away'. Not only are they expensive $2.99 a pop, but I'm finding, I CRASH, and I mean CRASH hard. Now lately I've still been blessed with a 1 to 2 pound bi-weekly weight loss, with little to no exercise other than playing out (which is very active, I've lost 3 - 4 pounds in a performance, more if it's over the summer and really hot outside.).
So here I am, a much lighter wallet. (believe me, you don't want to know.) and a massive massive massive headache..... (I was drinking 2 of these a day.....2 servings......160 mg caffiene 360 mg caffiene yikes!!)
here is the label - please be gentle with me after reading this....
So I have decided to try to go 'cold turkey' and hope that I've let none of you down. Me and my addictions. This is crazy. When will I ever learn.
So, I'm back on my water kick. I faithfully will drink 148 ounces a day starting today.
First Flour and Sugar, now this. Why do people create crap like this to reel us in hook line and sinker, with the emphasis on 'SINKER'.
Anyway, I thought I should post this, if for no other reason, than to have it written down as a goal to complete.
Sorry Folks, but the old Scoot is human after all.
