Dear Diary,
Today was a long day. Starting my 30 days without coffee has been strange.
Actually I'm not sure if this challenge is a thing or not but I'm winging it as I go...
So here's what I hear about reducing coffee intake to occasional doses... less stained teeth - makes sense; better sleep coz of the lack of caffeine; more rest coz you sleep better and therefore better functionality... well this is all from the YouTube video that made me think about it... I've added the link here...
Now, I'm no coffee addict. I often won't drink coffee for a few days and then there are days that I will drink up to 3 cups just because I feel like it. I love coffee. The smell and the flavour makes me happy but also the ritual of going to the office kitchen with a friend or two to brew a fresh cup helps the stress levels come down. So to reduce the stress of losing the coffee brewing ritual I opped to making oolong tea or rooibos tea as my new go to beverage.
This isn't going to be so difficult.
Or so I thought.
By 10:30am I was going strong. I drank a cup of oolong tea and got my work done. But then the urge to make a cup before going to my desk hit... And it hit again.. And again. It was innocent enough... often forgetting my challenge.
By 3:30pm the urge became a craving. I needed a cup of coffee. Any coffee... I wasn't fussy about the brand and quality. I'm not sure if this need is because I didn't drink any coffee or due to my mind deciding it wants the one thing I've decided that I can't have.
One thing is for sure, I felt really tired after work today. No caffeine except for the small bit in my morning oolong (which tastes like dust by the way). It could also be because I have been sleep late since Easter Friday though I suspect the coffee was keeping me.
Well let's see how this goes... I've been making up rules for this. As I go along. By the end of the 30 days - I'm going to nominate 3 people to take up my challenge with all the rules I followed.
That's all for today...
Bye Diary
