I felt tired and sluggish all day yesterday and by the time 9:30 rolled around I just passed out and slept the entire night. Today is a bit better, but I’ve still had a few moments of extreme drowsiness throughout the day.
I’m fairly certain it’s the lack of caffeine that had me feeling out of it, as soda is the most recent item on my cut-list, and the caffeine boost that came with my coke at lunch was probably helping to mask the fact that I usually don’t get enough sleep. It’s kind of amazing what a profound effect a single soda (or lack thereof) can have on your day.
In theory, eating better and losing weight should grant me an energy boost that far outweighs the removal of caffeine from my diet, but I’ve certainly not lost anything near what what I’ll need to in order to see those kinds of benefits. Hopefully I’ll keep from nodding off at my desk in the meantime.
Give it some time….
Time spent enjoying wasting time is time well spent – ????
All time is ultimately ‘wasted’; and besides, we each have our own life to waste anyway we want!
your breaking addictions to serious drugs here man, it gets worse before it gets better. kicking up all the dust makes shit hard, but you can just wait it out. seriously focus on getting soda out of the mix, it’s like the worst shit ever.
also, there are more balanced sources of caffeine to start weaning yourself off it. yerba mate, for example, is the most balanced form i could ever find. or black tea is also packed. then move onto green tea, then perhaps white tea or rooibos (red tea) then eventually just drink herbal teas, with an intention. make that your habit instead of soda, and you’ll be laying the groundwork for some serious progress
