Day 5 into my 12 in 2012 goals (not resolutions).
I have MADE it to day 5 with no caffeine.
It has not been an easy feat, let me tell you but I think, day 5, I am over the worst of it.
I hope.
I pray.
No more headache.
No more can barely keep my eyes open at 2pm.
No more crazy grouchiness (maybe still a little but not sure that is due to lack of caffeine).
Crystal Light and me have become pretty close. We are BFFs. I have been drinking 2qts of water/Crystal Light a day instead.
I am in this for the long haul.
This.Time.I.Promise.
The last time I tried to kick the caffeine addiction I was into day 2 and then Kaylyn was admitted into the NICU for emergency bronchoscopy when she got a sunflower seed shell lodged in her airway. Read the story here.
Needless to say several caffeine filled nights later. It didn't work.
But this time.
It is different.
I figure by cutting out the caffeine of coffee and soda alone it will help me meet another one of my 12 in 2012 goals which is to lose a little weight.
You know soda and caffeine are just empty calories.
Here is to day 5!
I am feeling GOOD!
Did you make any goals (or resolutions)? How is it working out so far?
You are AMAZING! I couldn't do it...no way. I'm pretty proud of myself for 3 of 5 days of getting outside for a walk or run. But no caffeine? I don't even like to think about it.
ReplyDeleteGiving up pop was hard for me. It meant giving up all flavored drinks because otherwise I was sucked right back in. I would crave it. December was bad for me, so many parties and so much pop at them all. I'm back to my water regimine and getting better each day.
