Emotional Lows

[nynrose]

I'm generally a hearty person, but I have ups and downs with the best of them. This week is not starting out so great for me. I'm in one of my low periods. There are a number of things that factor into this; the 12 hour days for work and the fact that I've been winnowing down my caffeine intake chief among them

I've weaned myself down before. But that was years ago at a crap job where I started drinking soda again. What I did was switched from soda to iced tea. Part of it is I want to get away from High Fructose Corn Syrup (which they're now labeling as "corn sugar" and is still just as bad for you as HFCS).

So, I've been cutting back drastically on how much soda I drink. When I go out to eat, I pick iced tea instead of soda. When I go to work in the morning, I bring in a 32 oz container of water, which I usually refill - and get the "suggested" 64 oz of water a day. I drink 1 cup of iced tea for lunch and one for dinner. And usually, that's it.
