August 1st ended one entire year of the boys not having soft drinks of any kind, and almost 8 months of no fast food. We drove back home from Memphis in time to make it back to Wings and More to end the fast. Michael handed the boys their reward at the restaurant and then let them order their drinks! You should have seen the smile on their faces when they told the waitress "Dr. Pepper" when she came for drink orders!





Now the trick is to not order Dr. Pepper everywhere! They were all pretty amazed at how little Dr. Pepper it took to satisfy them! We've decided to buy a small six pack of Dublin Dr. Pepper (DP made in Dublin, TX w/ Imperial Cane Sugar instead of HFCS) for home and make it last a month or so and still not order sodas at restaurants very often.
They also decided to do another fast after being off for a month or so. And this time they've decided to up the challenge...not sugary drinks at all (i.e. no lemonade or Hi-C, etc.). I'm so impressed! Way to go guys!!
