NO COFFEE----SAY WHAT???

NO COFFEE!!!!!!

I have officially made it the last 6 days with ZERO COFFEE!!!!

If you know me at all I am one that is a Coffee Lover.  I love it hot or iced.  I have been drinking coffee for as long as I can remember.  I just love it!!

I was getting ready to start Core De Force (my new workout program) and I have joined a Team Spirit Group for Beachbody.  It has completely changed everything about my business but I digress, that is another post.

Anyway, one morning I had done my workout and was preparing my coffee and thinking about starting my program and the Lord spoke clearly- No coffee for 30 days.  I dropped the spoon!  OK...... I was almost in a state of panic but laughing at the same time.

I was listening to some other Team Calls about this program and made a decision.  I was ALL IN!  If that meant, no coffee, then so be it!!!!!!

I would use tea, honey and lemon.  That would be all I could use.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were AWFUL!  I literally thought I was coming down with the flu.  My body hurt.  I had no fever or other symptoms.  I was so sleepy I couldn't hold my eyes open.  I just wanted to go to bed.  I was in a mental fog that was the weirdest thing I had EVER experienced!

Thursday was 80% better and Friday was about 90% better.

It has been a real eye opener for me.  To realize I was that dependent on coffee and the sugar and creamer were amazing.  I also realized how many empty calories I was consuming.  You see, my coffee comes with 2 sugars (teaspoons) and 1 heaping teaspoon of creamer.  Remember I am consuming approx. 5-6 cups a day!!!!!!  50 CALORIES PER CUP!!!!  6 CUPS IN A DAY-----300 CALORIES!!!!!  ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!!!!!



I am discovering all different types and flavors of teas that I am just LOVING!  I have some local honey and just a small squirt and this is a happy Lady!!!!!!
