So, I have been off of coffee since last week and let me tell you… it has been hard! I know some people have addictions, i.e. pain meds, drugs, ciggs, what have you… however, mine is not as simple as that! I LOVE coffee! I love everything about it! I love the smell as I crack open the jar or can or pouch, I love the smell of it in the morning as I prepare it – I love the taste of it with my steamed milk and 1 or 2 Raw sugars, I love the smell of it in the evening when I have it (or had it)! So, every time I see it, pass by Starbucks or smell it from some one nearby – I am saddened… especially now as I sit here and blog about this… I am half heartedly enjoying my CALM Full Leaf TAZO tea from Starbucks… :/ ~~~ It sucks! Yes, I know tea is healthier for you without all the stuff that is added to coffee, however, it is not the same – when I wake in the a.m. I want Java! Tea does not satisfy me – it is like drinking flavored hot water… now, do not get me wrong – I have many great teas at home, however, they are for evening drinking, for calming, for digestion, soothing, etc… not for waking… ok, I am done! Sorry for the rant…
To throw more craziness into the mix – I have been fasting from carbs and ALL sugar! Yep, that’s right, I said it – SUGAR! The last few days have not been easy, not because of giving up on the taste for these sneaky weight gainers, nooo… because of the awful headaches I have been experiencing… being off of the coffee has not helped either! Thank God the restless nights have subsided…
On a great note ------- I have been back in the gym for the last two weeks and I feel great! Now, that I am done with all of my after work duties – it is Me time again! I hope you are enjoying some Me time as well. It is so important for us to do so.
Well, friends, I am off to enjoy my homemade grilled chicken and rocket salad with, of course, my now iced CALM Full Leaf TAZO tea J
Make it a great day & Healthy, Productive Day!
your constant companion,
