Longest Day of the Year…..

Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | Uncategorized

So I made it…..December 31st…..

About six years ago I started this “self growth” thing with myself where every other year I would give up pop (or soda for you “westerners”) for the entire year.    I would go cold turkey at midnight on January 1st and could not have a drop until midnight on the next January 1st.    This past year was my third year doing it.    I love doing this because it really helps me develop self-control  (seriously passing Sonic is HARD!!) and integrity.   It may seem like a small thing, but I know that if I can have self-control and integrity in the small things it will help me have them in the big things.  

The year is tough, b/c I get strong cravings (I LOVE MY POP!!!).    Today will be the LONGEST day and I will down some can of pop at midnight.    If you read this, hop over to facebook and give me your idea on what pop it should be!  

 

**I must confess this year I did cheat a little this year, but it totally wasn’t my fault!!!    A couple of weeks ago I had a doctors appointment to have a medical procedure and my blood sugar was a little low so I had to drink a Sprite (hint the picture above) before I left.   I only drank 3 sips and dumped the rest as soon as I left the doctors office.   I didn’t have the heart to tell the doctor I couldn’t drink it …..hahaha……My doctor still doesn’t know this was the real reason I was crying that day, not b/c the procedure was so painful….
