drink more tea and less coffee

And it was too painful to come to this realization.

I wish that coffee was good for me, are there at least some benefits to coffee?

I still make a lot of cups of tea that I don’t drink, but it’s soothing. And sometimes I drink coffee, but it’s rare. Woo tea boost!

I had been drinking tea in the evenings, but coffee was required in the mornings. And the stuff at work is just horrid. One morning I woke up and decided I wanted chai instead of coffee, so I took the tea in with me. I’ve had a few relapses (days where chai just doesn’t have the oomph to get me going), but for the most part I’ve stopped drinking coffee.

I seriously doubt I’ll ever completely decaffeinate, but I’ve certainly cut my level in half. And I’m much less jittery now. ::grins::

Ok…I’ve got the tea – I even special ordered the tea leaves (not in bags) and have a special pot. Now it’s a matter of making it a habit. I do love coffee so. I just know the tea is so much better for you. But I love coffee. The smell, the taste. I can’t wait to go go Seattle..they have good coffee in Seattle. Maybe I should change my goal to drink more coffee. I mean I’m the type of person that get’s a warm, happy feeling inside when I see a Starbucks. Ok..focus on the tea. Tea is good. There are so many flavors to try.

I’m not cutting it out completely. “Everything in moderation” is what my mother always said, and I believe she was/is right. My more specific goal is to limit my coffee intake to 1 cup/day. That is so totally doable.

i never thought i’d see the day i’d brew myself a cup of lemon lift.

wtf has the world come to?

as my love of coffee is strong but it’s time to make the shift and give my central nervous system the break that it deserves. i have noticed much as i might like to deny that when i keep it to one or two cups of joe a day i’m less edgy and things seem to flow a little smoother sniff.
