This is the one where I’m weak.

I had this with my lunch.

This is the one where I try again.
Monday, July 5th, 2010In the past few years I have given up soda about twenty times. If you search the archives you’d find about five or six posts on the topic.
Well today, I’m giving it up again.
This time is different because…well it isn’t. But I may succeed this time because I’m going to temporarily increase my coffee intake to substitute for the caffeine loss.
How long do you give me?
This is the one about Dunkin Donuts.

Ever since Dunkin’ Donuts revealed their new image and started peddling iced-coffee, I thought that I’d really like to give it a try…but I don’t live close to one.
Luckily on Friday I spent the night at my parent’s house and I on my way to the club on Saturday morning I passed a Dunkin’ Donuts and pulled in and bought a delicious iced coffee.
One thing that I noticed about the logo is that the font kind of looks like the font I used on this site. Am I right?
It was 100% unintentional. Do you think that when I re-designed this site I subliminally connected to the Dunkin design?
As a side-note, when I twittered that I was loving the Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, my friend Joe replied:
joeb7474Dunkin’ Donuts is a good place for a diabetic to hang.
Good point, Joe. But they’ll sweeten your coffee with Splenda.
This is the one written on day one.

On this week’s Sweet Talk, we discussed how caffeine can alter your blood glucose numbers. And all three of the hosts also revealed how much caffeine they are drinking on a daily basis – keeping in mind that the average person consumes about 200mg of caffeine a day.
One host consumed less than 200mg a day.
One host consumed about 600mg a day.
And then me. 900mg give or take.
So I made the choice to give up sodas and energy drinks all together. Cold turkey. Today is just day one, and it’s still morning, so I have nothing to report.
I am allowed to drink coffee in the morning still. And Jill introduced me to Splenda Flavors For Coffee, which are these little sugar-free flavor packets that you put in your coffee…and they are A-MAZING. Seriously. I’m sipping on a mocha right now. Even people who have a functioning pancreas would enjoy these flavors.
