I’ve finally mastered step 1: water, water, water.
And if I do say so myself – I’ve managed to come up with some pretty good concoctions to make the water tastier.
My favorite is…
Letting a batch of strawberries and lime pieces soak for about 20 minutes – followed by cucumbers and oranges, and my third favorite kiwis and cherries. 
Even my co-workers know to order a large bowl of lemons for me when dining out together. So proud of myself in fact – I’ve thought of ordering a Girl Scout badge sporting a big water drop. While that’s in the works…on to Step 2: No Sugar. Which unfortunately means I’ll have to throw out the Girl Scout cookies I acquired while ordering the badge.
After giving up teas, sodas, and alcohol, I soon noticed a growing trend: every sugar form known to 
man had started cohabitating on my desk, in my car, and in my loft. Cookies, cupcakes, bon bons, m&ms, skittles, milkshakes, you name…I have it. I’ve even managed to sneak in a stash of marshmallows near the tub for an extra relaxing candle lit bubble bath.
So Step 2 is officially in full-swing as of right now…well…as soon as I’m done with the Ben and Jerry’s I happen to be eating while I type this…thank goodness for Phish Food.
