Day One Without Caffeine

This morning wasn’’t half as hard as I expected it to be. I managed to get up and substitute the usual 2 cups of coffee with glasses of water. Right now at work I feel awful, I have a sore throat (May be a separate issue from this as there's a lot of germs going around the office at the moment) but worst of all, I genuinely could go to sleep right now. I’m yawning quite literally every 5 minutes and finding it difficult to concentrate. I hope things will be a lot easier as of tomorrow because if things continue like this I doubt I’’ll be able to achieve anything in my time after work because I’’ll have to go straight to sleep!

Caffeine Detox

Caffeine Reliance

Those that know me well won’t be unaware that I am somewhat reliant I caffeine. I drink an average of 3 large cups of coffee and 2 energy drinks a day. For a while a lot of people have been advising me to either reduce or stop this completely. I am not a very health concious person because I believe people should do what makes them happy if they are willing to live with any consequences.

Over the last few days I have been thinking about this from both a health and financial perspective. Obviously both would benefit from cutting out caffeine so I figure by giving it a shot I have nothing to lose!

Detox Plan

The basic plan is to go “cold turkey”. Cutting out all sources of caffeine I consume as of midnight tonight. I understand it may be a strugle but I know I have the will to do this.

First Decision

This Blog

Well I suppose that creating this blog is the first decision I should post. I’ve been thinking about setting this up since a recent friend suggested starting my own. I couldn’t think of anything I could write about so figured keeping a log of the choices I make would be something useful in future. I will be able to look back over the years decisions and learn from them (With no excuse not too).
