So I have a double edged sword on my plate right now.
If you all remember back here, one of my [many] resolutions was…to drop 20 lbs by April-Juneish.
I’ve lost about 4-6.
Depending on my Dr.Pepper intake.
Then? My brilliance factor remembered, about the time when I was trying to decide what to give up for Lent…that I could give up caffeine (aka Dr.Pepper in Heidiland) and drop that 20 lbs because soda = sodium = water retention = the weight that’s sitting on my ass that won’t go anywhere (not that I’m religious about my gym attendance or anything…cause i’m not.)
But me without caffeine?
Not a pretty sight. When we were in Vermont a few weeks ago, I neglected to have my daily intake and was bombarded with the worst headache that I’ve ever had. Crying, pinching, whining…all because my mother only stocks freakin’ Caffeine. Free. Diet Pepsi.
SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL THE POINT CAFFEINE FREE SODA HOLDS IN THIS WORLD???
Because there is still JUST as much sugar and sodium. So the calories you told yourself you’d be saving? Eff that man.
I digress. So now I have this dilemma. Because I really want to drop this weight. Especially after finding that my new pants FIT! ME! (albeit a little tightly in the waist arena but I’m working on it!
But without these 24 oz Dr.Pibbs/Peppers in the AM hours, I struggle to get through the day. And coffee to me is just as bad since I usually have 7 splendas with a side of coffee. Thankyouverymuch.
So to my readers – before I throw my slow ass computer out the window today zomg I hate Lag! – what are you suggestions for kicking/changing a caffeine addiction??? (my blog title does not lie…)
P.S. Don’t forget about the DC 20sb happy hour tonight!!! 6:30p. Recessions. Be there.
