UPDATE ON CAFFEINE

Many of you know that today was the opening for Dutch Brothers. I didn't know this, but thanks to some great friends they shared the news. I'm going to start out by blaming these two friends for this blog. As I am waiting in line for an hour I decide that I am done being off caffeine. I have decided that I hate myself without that energy boost. I NEED THAT ENERGY!!!!!!!! I decide the best thing to do was to call my husband my accountability partner. He said just go ahead and get a coffee. After a month off caffeine he is done with my complaining. A month ago I read a book about caffeine and how bad it is for you. The book really convicted me to make myself go off of it. Ryan went off too and he is doing great and feeling great. The same did not happen for me. I have been very irritable, and very hungry. Caffeine is a known appetite suppressant. Many of the over the counter appetite suppressants are just a huge shot of espresso in pill form. Because of this I am confessing to all of you my weight is going crazy. I just can't have this. It really starts to weigh on my emotions (no pun intended). So as of today I am done. I am back on and NO ONE CAN STOP ME.

OH MY GOSH! If there's anything like beating yourself up...
You are entirely too funny! Kudos to you for really trying to give up caffeine!
Whatever happened to "Everything in moderation...?" So what if you have a coffee or soda! Just pace yourself...

Kristan you are a better person for giving it a try. I didn't realize it had been a whole month! I breifly considered going off caffiene on Tuesday. By Wednesday morning I had changed my mind. Welcome back and we really should get together for coffee.
