Reflections on the 30 Days With No Soda Challenge

by Christina Brown October 2, 2009

Well, I survived the 30 Days With No Soda Challenge. And I must admit, the month was not soda-free as planned.  On two occasions, I slipped up and drank a pop without thinking.  Sometimes doing things on auto pilot isn’t a great idea!  On the third occasion, I just really, really wanted a soda, and [...]

Would a Soda Tax Help You Kick the Habit?

by Christina Brown September 25, 2009

I’m nearing the end of my 30 Days With No Soda Challenge… which, in all honesty, has not been soda-free. (I’ve had two Diet Cokes – Not bad for someone who was drinking 3-4 cans a day!)

Getting closer to soda-free!

by Christina Brown March 19, 2008

I have only drank three sodas in the last 24 days! This is a big accomplishment for me. The only other times in my life that I have foregone soda have been the two times I was pregnant – and that wasn’t because I was trying to be healthy, it was because I had such [...]
