At the fancy spa I used to go to in my pre-kids days, they served water with cucumber and lemon slices. I still serve that when I’m entertaining. :)

Thank you for highlighting my post!

Told you it was good! :) I’m glad you enjoyed it. I can’t wait until my cucumbers are mature so I can use them instead of store-bought.

Based on your post the other day I tried some cucumber water with a fresh-picked cucumber from our square foot garden. It was delicious (and the fact it cost me nothing, well, minus the seeds, made it that much more enjoyable!).

It hasn’t killed the soda cravings, but at least I’m not thirsty. If I start feeling like I “need” a soda, I’ll add a packet of Splenda to a glass of the cucumber water and that’s usually enough to sate my craving.

Thanks for the mention!

Hmm. Cucumber water. And has that helped cut the soda cravings? I’ve picked up Crystal Light – Wild Strawberry Energy which is convenient with water bottles and only has 10 calories per pack. But, there’s 10 packs in a box for $3, so it’s expensive. Still, it’s the only thing that’s worked for me to kick the soda habit. Tea isn’t bad – I don’t put sugar or anything else in it, but I still occasionally crave soda with that.

Please let me know how that works out for you! I might have to give it a try!

Thank you for your kind words. I am sure Caveman will be just as successful (if not more) on your 1st anniversary.

Cucumber water sounds like a great idea. I developed a taste for plain water (fortunately) but I remember hating the taste of water as a kid.

Looking forward to reading about your single step! :)
