The Journey begins with me page 264

I did for a couple of reasons, 1. Sleep was a big issue. I sleep better without any. 2. I really felt i needed to to kick the diet coke habit. My addiction to the stuff is incredible. I figured if my system doesnt use caffiene at all maybe that would lesson the desire. So far so good...we will see.

I could give up coffee pretty easily. I just use a T of instant in my morning smoothie for flavor, but that could easily be decaf. But many of my favorite flavors of tea have caffeine, so not willing to give those up, plus there is the green tea matcha that I use every morning for some health reason I cannot remember anymore.

and yep, I am thinking the water weight is the reason I take the ACV, trying to keep BP down so I don't have to take the medication-which is essentially a water pill

p.s. I have a chart I pinned that says if you crave carbonated drinks then you probably need some calcium.

Even just a little caffeine, first thing in the am, can mess my sleep up for days. Don't know why - I'm terribly sensitive.

I might some more calcium - I do love carbonated (unsweetened) water.

Karin - your next transition might be something like this: Lacroix Water :: Home.

Oh i have had this and your right, its good!!! That would be a good transition. I am putting it on the list.

[athomeontherange]

As for calcium.. i am already on it lol. Although maybe thats another factor my desire for it is lessening.

[demuralist]

The magnesium (I think that is the right "m" supplement) that I was taking for sleep also had calcium in it (that and a touch of D3). Didn't do much for me, but maybe there is something in there for you? I dunno, probably just habit right?

[athomeontherange]

Oh i am sure i need more magnesium..i will add this eventually. It can be overwelming doing too much at once

[demuralist]

hate the idea of supplements, deep down I really think we should be getting it from our food. I am sure there are way more things in food that are beneficial than we know about, and the supplements just can't cover that.

[RMS123]

The mag supplement just never settled right. Not so much in the bathroom, I just never felt good after I drank it. I've decided I'd rather figure out how to get that one from my food. [I'm hoping more bone broth will help with things like calcium, etc. since I don't do dairy.]

[athomeontherange]

Ok..i have pre-entered dinner tonight as well as snacks and i am back to being spot on!! I am finding there is just a certain way to eat/start my day that improves my chances for a successful food day. When i stray from that way my macros go to hell.
