A Caffeinated Update

November 13, 2007 · Filed Under · 4 Comments 

**PUBLIC DECLARATION UPDATE**  About 6 days into my quest to remove my dependency to caffeine. As stated in my original post, along with using smaller coffee mugs, I am using a 25% decaf, 75% caffeine coffee blend to start. What can I say, the idea of going cold turkey gives me the shivers. Here are a couple benefits I have noticed so far:

  1. Less Jittery. I have actually noticed the last couple days that I am a little less amped and not so jittery. I still am very energized but without the over the top rush that I was getting.
  2. Less Potty Breaks. I know…TMI, but I am drinking less coffee overall so this makes sense.
  3. No Headaches or Grouchiness. Yeah!

In a couple days I am going to increase the decaf and decrease the caffeinated. I am thinking 1/3 decaf, 2/3’s regular. What a rebel! Stay tuned.

Peppermint Creamer

By the way, have you ever tried this Coffee Mate Peppermint Mocha creamer? Holy crap, my wife picked some up the other day and it is just divine. Adds to my calorie count, but it turns a normal cup of coffee into a special Holiday treat!

    Good luck with this! I too am doing the same thing, but with me it has been giving up sodas. I am fighting the headaches right now, but it’s all worth it in the end.

    You’re a better man than I am. Well, I’m not a man, but that’s beside the point. :)

    I’m not ready to give up the caffeine yet.

    @ Tangee, thanks for the encouragment! I am feeling pretty good so far, only had one bad headache, but not sure if it was caffeine related.

    Great work! I love the peppermint mocha – I din’t know it was on shelves already this year. Now I’m craving it!
