Chris decided to give up soda for his New Years resolution. I decided to give up sugar. With my resolution, I decided I would give myself one free day (Sunday) to hoard and eat as much sugar as I wanted. Chris decided this was a really good idea, so on Saturday he's been buying a soda to drink on Sunday. He's been doing really good, and only drinking it on Sunday. He was even able to pass it up when we went to St. George a few weeks ago, and traveling without soda is especially hard for him.
Occasionally when he buys his soda on Saturday he'll get a big one and just drink the same soda the next Sunday. Last Saturday we went to the store together, and Chris picked out a 2 liter Code Red Mountain Dew. Sunday rolled around, and since he and I were fasting, he didn't get to whip out the soda until around noon. He drank a couple glasses, and I thought he'd be finished. Oh no, at 8pm he poured another glass. I remember thinking that he would never fall asleep.
We stayed up late that night, and were in bed around midnight. I was so tuckered out! Pretty soon I reach over and Chris is out of bed. I immediately knew it was the caffeine. I fell back asleep and reached over at 3am....still not there. I got up to take care of business and asked him what the heck he was doing. He said he couldn't sleep so he polished off the 2 liters of soda. Well, duh, that's going to keep you up.
In the end he came to bed at 5 something and woke up less than an hour later. After that, he decided cold turkey is the way to go. A 37 year old guy just can't stay up all night!

I am impressed with your new years goals! NO SUGAR-- WOW! I love that Chris lost all control on Sunday. That is totally something Josh would do! And then he would also pay for it all night. Good luck with your goals.
I gave up soda as well recently. It wasn't supposed to be a New Year's resolution, but I guess it kind of was. That is funny that Chris drank so much at once!
How is your sugar goal going?
