I’m working on myself. My fitness, my health, my size. I’m running, I’m cycling & walking more. I’m watching what I eat.
Part of this, and a hard one for me, is eliminating pop.
Well, Coke - I don’t drink any other kind of pop.
For the last, let’s say, 6 years or so, I’ve drunk roughly a can of pop (or larger) every work day.
That’s a LOT of Coke.
It goes a long way to explain why I’m as large as I am.
But, coming back from my bike trip, I resolved to no longer drink an afternoon coke, as what has been my habit.
And, funny enough, it was hard. I “snuck” a pop for the first 2 weeks a couple of days.
But - none since the start of September (aside - that has produced a 5-pound drop in 2 & a bit weeks … so … yeah).
But here’s where I’m failing - eating out, lunchtimes. I don’t just want water forever - boring!
But I don’t like other pop, I don’t like iced tea (unless it’s “real” unsweetened ice tea, but it never is). I don’t like most juice that isn’t fresh-squeezed.
But I want to drink something flavourful, interesting when I’m out.
Sushi places are great because I really enjoy green tea.
But what else is there?
What do you drink when you’re out for lunch, say, and don’t want more coffee, alcohol isn’t an option & you’re not drinking pop.
Do restaurants (particularly quick-stop or fast-food places) even offer an alternative?
