It has been five days since my last cup of coffee and I am feeling better already. The first two days were really hard. I am in the habit of making a large travel mug to take to work with me every morning. This is my morning jolt of energy. Instead of a morning jolt, I had a two-day headache.
By day three, the headache was subsiding, but that habit of wanting a hot drink in the morning was not. So I substituted. I found a sugar-free, low-calorie (5 cal.), caffeine-free, Spiced Apple Cider drink mix that I really enjoy. Problem solved. No caffeine high, no dependence, no headaches. It's a win-win. Just one more small change that can have a huge impact over time.
p.s. Did I mention that I am sleeping better?
Good for you! I kicked the coffee habit for about 5 months before the wedding, but now I'm back at it again. Wish I had your willpower! Think of all the cream/sugar calories you're saving!
