It’s Sunday night and I’m sitting in front of my fireplace right now drinking a cup o’ tea and snacking on some ginger cookies. Monday begins the elimination or fasting of ALL beverages except good ole’ H2O.
It doesn’t seem or sound like this will be a difficult thing to do but knowing my self-discipline and ability to restrain myself it will prove to be a difficult task.
Although I am most certain in failure, this William Penn quote gives me hope even in my inevitable downfall:
“To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.”
Essentially my vice is that I don’t drink enough water.
I know all the facts. Like its good for you, it keeps you hydrated, you should drink at least 8 glasses a day, yada yada… But that’s not enough to convince me to drink it on my own. My excuse is that I’m helping California preserve water during this never-ending drought.
For this Vice Project I will drink nothing but ‘agua.’
I’m wondering if I’m going to see a difference in how I feel, health wise. So, I’ll be keeping an eye on that.
Who knows? Maybe this will be a lifestyle changing experience for me and I will become a better person because of this project and I will be a brand new person with a new outlook on life and I’ll live a long and healthy life because of it (sense the sarcasm?).
It’ll be most hard for me to not have coffee drinks. What a struggle it will be. I work at a coffee shop and I can drink however much coffee I want while working. I’ll have to deny myself those tasty drinks when I feel tempted. Not really looking forward to that.
