Experiment

Hi there. So I did an experiment a few nights ago. It wasn't intentional. It just happened. I decided to drink Coke. I've been off it for 2 weeks so far, and well I've haven't noticed much difference. Until a few nights ago. I bought some to have with dinner. Drank almost one litre. No biggie really, I used to be able to drink 2 litres in one day. But I drank it, and then felt sick probably an hour later. I also noticed my knees were aching. Specifically in the joints. Aching like I haven't felt for a while. It was horrible. I'm pretty sure it was because of the immense sugar hit. And it was an immense sugar hit. I was bouncing off the walls for about 2 hours, and then I just crashed. All my energy left me. Just vanished. I was happy and bouncing, then next, tired, cranky and exhausted. It was (reflecting on it) amazing. Amazing because of the difference this one drink made. This one soft drink made me sick, and aching, happy then cranky, lively then exhausted. It was strange and fascinating and it made me realise that even going off it for 2 weeks makes all the difference to my body and it's state. So, thus the conclusion is..... no drinking Coke. I didn't quite realise just how poisonous it was until I went off it and then reintroduced it.

But then I have another problem: I drank a frozen coke and nothing really happened. Certainly not like the regular coke. Also the same with pepsi max. I have a little bit of it and it doesn’t affect me at all. Also decided that instead of going cold turkey, I’m just going to wean myself off gradually.

On other news, I went to the gym today. Got up, packed my bag, hopped in my joggers and went to the gym. Went on the treadmill and cross-trainer. Only did 25 mins all up but I felt better afterwards.

And after spending today drinking the rest of my pepsi max, i've decided that going cold turkey is the best option for me. Here's to drinking lots of water, healthy menu planned eating and exercise :)
