Caffeine free--3 days

(written on Wednesday)

Last Friday I was my first day not having a Coke.

1) I was working at home, so I couldn't hit the vending machines
2) I don't like the addiction factor--was starting to get headaches in the morning & was excited
to drive into work to get my fix!
3) Had a dr's apptmt where she 'hinted' I should loose 16 pounds...
OK, so I totally disagree with this assessment, but I know I have puffed out noticeably
since my Coke habit started. I refuse to buy new clothes, so despite refusing to 'diet'...I thought cutting back on Coke was a nice middle ground. (I've also increased my exercise
slightly.)

Obviously it has been more than 3 days, but I really only decided to go ahead on Monday when I realized I hadn't died from 2 days caffeine-free. (Note: I have NOT given up chocolate...that could cause violence!)

So, when school starts back in August, the temptation of free beverages may not be resisted...but I think that is OK...It is hard to work about 4 10 hours days then sit in class all day Friday/Saturday...I just don't want it to be a daily habit. Sound fair, or am I just justifying my habit?
