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.

As someone who also enjoys coffee but has a functioning pancreas, I have to completely agree with you! These little packets are amazing! BTW, I’ve told you this before but I think you’re insane for trying to give up all caffeine.

I don’t know a thing about Splenda. I’m just here to say how much I like the new template. Love the clean look and colors.

I agree with Craig.
And as for caffeine, I used to drink a lot of soda. One day I just decided to stop. If the only drinking option available is soda then I drink it (like in Mexico where we could have soda or beer…. I obviously chose soda). But normally I drink a lot of juices and no soda. They taste better and are healthier. Mmmm.
Oh, and I’ve always hated coffee XP

I really like the splenda flavors. It’s great stuff. I can’t drink coffee due to the ulcers, but tea and soda are my bane.
