I love Mountain Dew. It is my favorite drink. I drink so much of it, that I think if you would cut me I would literally bleed Mountain Dew. A few years ago I started to drink Diet Mountain Dew so I wouldn’t be drinking all those calories. Eventually I noticed caffeine was starting to affect me, so I made the hard decision to lay off the Dew.
When we moved here to Ames, imagine my delight when I walked into the store and noticed caffeine-free Diet Mountain Dew on the shelves! I had never heard of such a thing. I was back in business!
Yesterday I was thinking about how much I drink. On a normal day I will down at least 4, usually 5 cans. That doesn’t seem like a lot to a hard core Dewaholic, but it adds up to 120-150 cans a month or about $50 a month. The other thing that is beginning to worry me is all the junk in the soda that I am drinking. I’ve never really listened too much to studies done that show this one thing causes cancer or will make hair grow on your palms, because next month another study will disprove it. But still I have to wonder.
Here’s what I’m gonna do. I am going to lay off the soda. I’ve got 6 cans left, and when these are gone I am going to go at least a whole week without any soda of any kind. When I get to the end of that first week I will either decide to go for another week, or I will reward myself with a nice cold Dew and then go for another week. My ultimate goal will be to move from a Dewaholic to a casual Dew drinker.
I will post about my progress here; maybe you can join me. By the way, I said I’ve got 6 cans left, but I am going to try my best to make these things last. 
Then I’ll get started.
