I can't believe I am doing this...again. Not only me this time, but my husband as well. What are we doing? We are giving up our nectar of the gods...our life water...our energy in a cup...coffee!
We decided yesterday to make some life changes, and this one seemed the most easy, and the most difficult at the same time. If I don't make the coffee, I won't drink the coffee - easy. However, and I say this as my eyes are starting to feel like someone is stabbing them with daggers, the withdrawal headaches are almost as painful as childbirth. It's a good thing it is a rainy day today - I have a feeling much of our time is going to be spent snacking on Tylenol and Motrin.
Why on earth would we want to do this? Many reasons. First, has anyone noticed the price of coffee today? I remember only a few years ago it was half the price it is now. Second, I can't stand the feeling of being dependent upon anything, especially liquid...dark, warm, wake-me-up yummy coffee...
And finally, my hubby and I are trying to change our lives for the better (more to come on this subject - one baby step at a time). What a better place to start than to get rid of the caffeine in our diets? We already don't drink pop or any other caffeinated beverages, so the removal of coffee is the final step in that department. I plan on posting updates on our daily life changes - I have recruited an old friend to help me in our journey. He's a body builder, "health nut", and fitness guru.
Lord help me in my journey!
