My Walden plan is pretty much going as I expected it to, and I expected it to be very difficult. I don’t believe that me just drinking water for this week had a very large effect on my life just yet. I believe that it will definitely help me in the long run though. The quote that Emerson said that helped me overcome the temptation of drinking soda was “The first wealth is health.” I like this quote from Emerson because this shows the importance of health. I feel very accomplished because, in my opinion it is a very hard “rut” to overcome. \people did not believe that I would be able to give up this “rut”. But so far I have been proving them wrong. They would try to tempt me to drink soda and juice by waving the juice or soda in my face, and just drinking it as if it was the best drink they ever had. But I did not let that faze me.
