Mmmmm coffee

[auntiemeesh]

Yesterday I tried not buying coffee on the way to work. I made a pot at home, of decaf because that's what I have, and then sternly resisted the urge to stop at Coffee Tree for 'real' coffee. The unintended consequence of that was a day of decaf. Not good. Not good at all. I was finally able to get to the staff lounge sometime after two and add a bit of caffeine to my travel mug, but barely had time to drink any of it.

Today I stopped and bought coffee because caffeine is the source of all that is good and light in this world. And honestly, I usually only drink one 16 oz half-caf a day, so it's not like I'm going overboard on the stuff. But the week that I'm trying to get myself back into walking and eating healthy (and less) is not the week to also cut out the only thing that keeps me going during those tough preschool moments.

Oh... I cannot endorse the substitution of decaf for regular. no no no no nononononono!

I have been doing pretty well with my rule of not purchasing coffee that is over $2. Sheetz upped their prices but it was just to like, $1.47 from $1.37 for a medium. Even though I've been trying to cut down on the caffeine during the day, I still always get that medium full-caffeinated coffee in the morning.

I really should cut out the caffeine altogether. It would do wonders for my stomach. But it's so hard to try to keep up with the kidlets while also readjusting to no caffeine. Maybe over spring break.

everything in moderation
including caffiene

Yes. My stomach would have me cut it out altogether, but it just doesn't always seem worth it.

Coffee is one of life's necessities. Hope you have a good supply laid in now!

Yes, I took the proper precautions and made sure that I have a good mix of caffeinated and decaf available, in order to survive the work week.
