stop drinking coffee

it has strong ties to my mental health. I need to see my doctor about this.

Wow. I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Me.
I am marking this as done now! I have met my initial goal of 30 days with HUGE success. I am not even going to race out and have coffee. I like drinking tea now and I still drink my water. Life is good. Now I just have to use this discipline in other areas of my life!!! Another 30 Day trial will be on it’s way soooooon.

I went out last night with a friend and she bought me a hot chocoloate. I went out on a date today and rather than a coffee I just had another hot chocolate. I am soooooo proud of myself!!! Yaaaaaayyyyyyyy me. Tomorrow is my last day of the trial. I will mark this as done tomorrow!

Hmmm for some reason I want coffee, yup really want it. Maybe it is because I am only 3 days off reaching my goal. Maybe it is because a visitor of my flattie got me to make him a coffee today (using HER coffee, I didn’t have any in the house to stop temptation) and the smell of it was amazing. Maybe it is because I went to a dance party last night and I am shattered now. AND maybe it is because I cheered someones entry about trying Jamacian Blue Mountain Coffee. Hmmmm YUM! lol

BUT NOT going to drink any for the next three days and even after that NOT having instant coffee. It is soooo gross so just not going to do it. End of story (I hope).

Still feeling proud of myself. Going to move into another 30 day trial after this one finishes. This trial has really helped me gain some self esteem. I feel great. I followed through… Good on me. Kapai Alisha

OMG Not even craving it at all. Not even slightly tempted. I am loving this….

I am so proud of myself! I am still 100% Coffee free. While my tea drinking consumption has gone up I have had none of those hideous side effects. I would like to stop drinking regular tea and drink herbal instead but at present I am focusing on the NO coffee goal. I just NEVER thought that I would have the will power to do this but I have. I now trust that I can do things that are good for me. I will expand these feelings into other areas of my life and I know that there will be a snowball effect. I am expecting GREAT things from myself. Yay GO ME!!!

WOW up to my 17th day already!!! I am soooo much clearer and feeling so much better for this. I am sleeping a lot better and I have less anxiety. I am so proud of myself and now I know that I am able to follow through with things. Yay me.

I think that once the trial is over I will do what my ex does. He only has one cup a week but he makes sure that it is a FANTASTIC cup. We used to have a plunger cup Sun morn when we woke up. It was great couple time and we experimented with different flavours each week. We bought fresh beans so that they didn’t expire and there was no waste.

BUT not doing this till AFTER the trial!!!

WOW!!! I am soooo proud of myself. I have been without coffee for 12 days now and yest was the first day that I was tempted. I was shopping in a nearby city (I am having a mini holiday for a couple weeks) I really felt like popping in for a cuppa in a cafe as that is what I do when I shop. I reminded myself that I couldn’t really afford it for two reasons. One my self esteem was being built by NOT drinking it for the full 30 days that I promised myself and also finances are a little tight at the moment. I would rather spend $5 on scrapbooking supplies or towards debt repayment rather than on a drink. GO ME!!!

I am halfway through day four and going strong. Having the herbal tea really helped. For me the coffee was about the hot drink cradled in my hands. The occasional sip as I perused 43T or checked my emails. The herbal teas fufill that and actually taste a LOT better than instant coffee as well. I have noticed a HUGE improvement in my self. I can concentrate a lot better, my headache is nearly gone. I am not having as many night time panic attacks and I am not sleepwalking. Awesome. I am still having issues with sleep but that is my poor diet :( I am soooo proud of myself! Go Me. I know that I would miss it a lot more if I was still meeting people for coffee. But as my budget is so tight I cant afford $4 for coffee. I mean that $4 can buy sooo many groceries I have found.

Wow, even though I hadn’t been drinking much coffee, I am really noticing NOT BEING ALLOWED any lol. I am very proud to say that I am halfway through day two of this 30 day TRIAL!!!!
I really wanted a coffee last night but I had a herbal tea instead. I brought another packet at the supermarket today and I will drink that instead. Once I have this coffee habit kicked I am going to move on to the sugar habit. Day Two WILL be successful, I know it.
