Well, three days ago I would not have thought that I would go three days without drinking coffee or coke! And I have done it. Day 1....excruciating headache, the toxic kind where it feels like the whole inside of my skull is throbbing. Sleeping did not get rid of it either! I did not start off the day by thinking no coffe or soda, it just worked that way. Boom, a toxic headache by late afternoon. I drank plenty of water to flush the system and to no avail...it was just one of those things that was a wake up call as to how much coffee and caffeine from sodas I have been consuming!
Day 2, first thought was get a coffee on the way to the gym which is my normal routine. Instead, I went straight to the gym. I ate all my meals at the office that day, using the microwave to warm up my meals. Still I wanted to "treat" myself to a latte or a mocha and I said "no, not today."
Day 3, I actually am not craving to have a coffee or a soda yet! I am drinking more water and drinking some almond milk (which is really tasty!).
So, tomorrow morning I will be at my business networking group where I usually have coffee. In this moment, I am 100% committed to not eating emotionally, to not give in to those triggers that want extra cream and 2 packs of sugar in my coffee! It will be okay, no matter what. In this moment right now, I am okay, feeling sleepy and getting ready to end my day.
So to end my day, I reflect on what I accomplished and on what I am grateful for. And I am feeling good...had broccoli, a sweet potatoe, strawberries and blueberries, some rye krisp with peanut butter...I did not go for any trigger food...chewed some gum this morning during a Board of directors meeting instead of having coffee...that was a success!
