To Dew or not to Dew

Ok, so I went a year with out partaking soda. Actually, that is a like because I think on two occasions I binged on my mothers spiked lemonade, which was heavily dosed with Sprite. But I did it for a whole year, and was very proud. But lately I have fallen off the wagon. In fact, as you can see from the photo above, I am enjoying a Diet Mtn Dew right now, though I usually stick to the Diet Coke.
My main reason for quiting last year, was becuase I had picked back up Mtn Biking, and was riding two or three times a week. Well after the baby was born, that ended. So now I am a sedentary cube worker, whose workout involves wrestling a honkin six month child to sleep at night, and then only getting 5 hours of sleep. Soda keeps me awake at work, water does not.
Besides all of that, water tastes like, well....um....water. That is great for 80% of the time. but when I am resting on my couch watching some useless and irrelevant TV program, I really enjoy having a soda.
So for now I am Dewing the Soda, and hopefully some day I will stop. But I will not beat myself up for it in the meantime.
