I've decided semi-randomly to go off caffeine for a while (not 100%; but maybe I'll cut down to just Saturdays or something, through the summer). I do love coffee but I suddenly felt like doing this; it's one less thing to be dependent on, and I know that I sweat a lot less when I don't drink coffee.
So, today was my first day with no caffeine. It was fine, except that I fell asleep at my desk for a few minutes right before 4PM, and then I missed yoga class because I thought it was only 5:30 when it was really 6:30.
AWESOME.

Re: Caffeine
Date: 2009-05-09 06:46 pm (UTC)I don't drink anything besides water in the mornings (and right now Airborne, but that's because I'm a little sick). In theory, the thing that really wakes me up is a few minutes on the elliptical.
I originally got into coffee as an after-lunch thing to avoid the afternoon sleepiness dip. So, if I were to go back to once-a-day use of something, it'd probably be that, not a morning thing. It took me longer to get into mornings, though for the last 18 months or so I was doing both.
