OFF THE COFF

Beginning in May, I decided to stop drinking coffee, along with a few other goals (you can read about it here).

There are a few reasons I decided to give up coffee.

Here are a few:

1. I think I was drinking too much. 2 sometimes 3 cups a day. It was a lot for me

2. I knew it would be a challenge

3. Breast Cancer runs in my family and I've read that caffeine can cause lumps to grow.

It sure hasn't been easy.

I love everything about coffee.

I love the smell.

The taste.

The environment and community of it all.

And the people.

I am soooo guilty of wanting to be a part of the crowd and hold that Starbucks cup.

Such good marketing!!

But I haven't actually weaned off of caffeine.

I've been drinking Mate tea, green tea, and occasionally black tea.

STASH has a decaf chai tea that is very flavorful.

I like it with a little sugar though (I wish I could drink it straight, but its strong)

It definitely hasn't been easy. I feel very tired at about noon. I know that its okay to take a little nap. They are so good for you, but sometimes I think that that is too indulgent, when there is stuff to get done.

So have you ever given up coffee?
