Slacking

It is pretty obvious that I have been slacking lately.

I did not start counting calories and I only truly exercised 2 days.

As far as caffeine goes, you already know that didn't even last one day. Going cold turkey on caffeine is not going to work. The main reason is the withdrawal. It is no joke!! The other reason is that I work third shift. If I don't sleep good during the day, I am used to using caffeine to help keep me up....especially on the way home.

I think that me for, getting rid of the caffeine is going to be a long process. I am giving myself a month to be completely caffeine free. Here is the plan. Right now, I drink two or three 20 oz caffeine drinks a day. So step one is going to be limiting my caffeine to one 20 oz soda or coffee a day. Step two is going to be drinking the 20 oz in phases.

On week one, I am going to drink 8 oz when I wake up, 8oz while I am at work, and 4 oz on my way home from work.

On week two of limiting caffeine I am going to drink 16 oz of caffeine drinks a day.....6 oz when I wake up, 6 oz while I am at work and 3 oz on my way home from work.

On week three, I am only drink 16 oz every other day using the same spacing method.

On week four, I am going to be really brave and only drink 16 oz every third or fourth day, again using the same spacing method.

Now I just need some way to force myself to exercise. I am seriously thinking about some sort of reward system.

Hey, if it works with kids, it has to work with adults too. Right?
