(no subject)
I wanted to make sure I was serious about this before saying something to everyone, but I'm proud of myself and I think it is going to happen, so here goes.. I'm caffeine free!
Last Friday, I went to the doctor after my illness (which was getting better) took a turn for the worse. This was a big step for me because, despite having insurance for the past two years, I had been too stupid to actually use it.
Anyways, ends up the sickness I had at the time was just really bad allergies from the large amount of winds that had been blowing for the past week or two. Bleh.
Then the doctor said "but that's not really what concerns me as much as your blood pressure." Huh...
So, as of Friday, I have dropped all caffeine from my diet. I am also being much more careful about what I eat (and how much of it I eat.) I'm on several meds still for the allergies, but I think they've helped me during the detox.
Here's the fun part - I actually am feeling better than I have in awhile. I've been getting better sleep, including going to bed and waking up earlier. I'm more alert, feel lighter, and think I might actually lose some weight.
It's a new me.
