Kari -

Good for you!

I'm only on Step 2 but I also find myself drinking a lot more water. I wrote down a quote from one of Kathleen's books in the front of my journal: "Boring water will help you heal." I just love the humor mixed in with directness in that quote.

That and a thread about detoxing from diet soda a while back have motivated me to pick water over soda. In the past I've never thought twice of drinking huge amounts as a summer treat.

I haven't started up the diet soda this summer and amazingly don't really miss it. I think it will be a while yet before I'm ready to give up coffee and iced tea. But I"m loving the water instead of soda!

Gratefully,
Gretchen
