 What's up guys? Take down here and for the past month I have stopped drinking Coca-Cola. So to start this off I will share my soft drink intake for the past roughly five years. I have drank it before that but about five years ago that's when it really took off for me. So I started my first job. I was working nine to five Monday to Friday and I would bring a can of soft drink any type Pepsi Coke whatever I could have. I would take a can of that to work in the morning and I would drink it before noon so that'd be can number one. Can number two would be on lunch. I'd have lunch from one to two. I'd finish it before going back to work and then third can I would take back to work whenever I went back and I'd work the rest of the afternoon until five so that's about two to three hours on average. I drank the third Coke and whenever I came home at night I would drink my fourth Coke while I was just relaxing at home. That was for about two months that I did that. So four cans a day five days a week for two whole months over the summer going into the 12th grade. Going back to the 12th grade every day for lunch I'd bring one can of pop pop soft drink or anything like I said and then I'd have another can at night. In the summer I would just have one can a day and then whenever I started full time for about almost three years ago now I'd have one can of lunch or one can at lunch and I would have one can at home just whenever I got home to relax for the nights. So that was extremely excessive that's a lot and I know there's some people that probably drink a lot more than that but I knew I needed a change but honestly didn't really have a reason for doing it and then I found my reason. So when I started last month that'd be March 11th roughly I decided I'm going to cut Coca-Cola or any kind of soft drink out of my diet for the time being didn't have a reason for it I just wanted to do it for me. Two weeks later well I did that for about a week week and a half but what I replaced Coca-Cola and soft drinks with was I guess Kool-Aid but it wasn't Kool-Aid it was some other brands but still not healthy for you not as bad as Kool-Aid but still unhealthy for you. So I replaced it with that for about a week week and a half and then I knew I couldn't keep drinking that so I started with just regular juices water stuff like that and that's what I've stuck with the whole rest of the month and I'm really happy for that I've even started making my own smoothies at home and stuff like that so as you can imagine this past month has been a complete struggle for me especially for somebody that drink Coca-Cola and soft drinks all the time every day of the week multiple a day and I didn't know if I could do it but so far this month to the day I have stopped drinking Coca-Cola Pepsi or any other type of soft drink and honestly I am extremely happy I'm glad I started to do this when I graduated high school I was 220 pounds I haven't weighed myself for about a year and the last time I weighed myself I was at 230 and I recently weighed myself and I was at 240 pounds I'm currently at the heaviest I've been in my entire life and I'm kind of ashamed for and that right there is my motivation to keep going forward to not go back to it's try to better my diet better my life be healthy feel healthy and that is my end goal of this whole experiment so this was phase one cutting Coca-Cola out of my life and here are some of the results I'm focusing more I'm enjoying doing more videos now I'm focused I can pay attention better uh my sleep isn't there yet that's about phase three I want to get back on a sleeping schedule but I'm more awake during the day I'm not exhausted like I once was I wasn't expecting to do it I honestly didn't think I could I feel a lot better drinking water juice making them smoothies I have a smoothie sitting here that I made earlier so this was phase one of me bettering myself I wanted to document this maybe not for the views but just for myself to have proof that I've done it or attempted to do it but I'm gonna keep going so this was phase one phase two is going to be eating healthier which I've already started I started buying a lot more fruit we did occasionally have fruit in the house but we never had too much and I've literally bought a lot of fruit I've been making smoothies every day for the past three days now eating more fruits eating healthier um cutting down on chips I've had chips all the time I'm cutting down on chips I haven't cut that out of my diet yet phase two is going to be me eating healthier me eating more fruits more smoothies more stuff at home continuing to eat less uh chips eating out less stuff like that I don't eat out too much anymore anyways you guys seen in my vlogs that I'd go occasionally to get a chicken wrap or smoothie at mcdonald's but honestly I've been making my own smoothies at home and they taste a hell of a lot better you can actually taste the fruit instead of just the sugar which is what I like so I'm really happy with the way it's going and I'm happy to document this and share this with you guys so this was kind of just a video out of the blue I just wanted to do it um I thought about doing it whenever I first quit and I thought well that'd be a great great video but I never really had a reason to quit and just now that I have I'm going to continue going forward this was just phase one I'm going to continue to give you guys monthly updates of my health of my progress of my weight um I'm kind of ashamed that I'm the heaviest I have been in my life but since stopping Coca-Cola I feel healthier and to me that is the one and only thing I'm keep going for that's my motivation right there and I'm glad to do it but anyways I'll leave this video here hope you guys did enjoy and if you did please leave a thumbs up because it helps me out to better and mentally I can now focus on my channel a lot more and my online stories I have that going too so leave a comment if you like I love reading your guys comments and I'll see you guys in the next video please take care peace
