Dawn’s Healthy Living Journey

by Cascade Ice on February 18, 2011

The Flavorful Life is featuring several “healthy living journey” stories from Cascade Ice fans around the country, where guest bloggers tell us their thoughts on how they face challenges and come up with new ideas to pursue better health and fitness lifestyles. The following is a post from Dawn Sievers of Knoxville, TN, and blogger for “The Healing Morning”

Most people who know me are aware that I’m not a fan of making New Year’s resolutions. I’ve written more than one blog post on that topic over the years.  My preference is to focus on keeping things at a sane, realistic level throughout the year.  That way, I don’t have this huge, onerous task of “have to” resolutions looming large over my fair head each January.

In the past six months, I made the decision to adopt a specific weight loss routine.  By incorporating this protocol into my life, I threw out a whole kitchen full of bad-for-me products.   

What I found I missed was the occasional fizzy drink.  We all know how toxic diet soda is, and I see no logic about drinking regular soda that’s crammed full of white sugar.  So, what to do?  To my delight, I recently stumbled across Cascade Ice 2-calorie water.  Delicious flavors and fizzy water that doesn’t cause a single blip on the digital scale!  You can’t beat that for complementing a new approach to good health. 

What’s next?  I think yoga and toning are my next two things to conquer. I’ll keep you posted as I investigate various DVDs.  Finding the firmness, perhaps?!  I’m on a mission!  🙂
