Peppermint Tea and Diet Pop

Thirty days dry is still on. Well, allowing for one cheat day a week. Dave's mom's birthday party was during happy hour at a very nice bar our first weekend of Dry January and the modified rule was born. So while you technically could call this a damp January, I still call it a success. The point of this challenge was to be more healthy. I was in the habit of having on average two beers a night. Dave was having a bit more than me. It felt like a really bad habit and our waist lines were showing it.

Our new routine has us drinking lots of peppermint tea. I now start the kettle while I'm cooking dinner, without even thinking about it. I have also been drinking a fair bit of diet pop (yes folks, I'm from Minnesota, its called pop).

I can't say that I've seen a big drop on the scale, but I can say that I have noticed a nice effect on my body. I feel a little slimmer. My pants are fitting a little better. Now just wait till I start back into 30 days of running!
