cutting out coffee, then drinking it again...

So I stopped drinking coffee this week. I know, I was shocked too! But I needed a break - I was up to somewhere around 4 or 5 per day and I was starting to get a slightly caffeine-wired, twitchy thing happening. The idea was to clear the old system out, and then reintroduce just one per day. So I cut the caps, and after the initial withdrawal headaches, I felt great! Much more relaxed - but man, was I looking forward to a coffee with breakfast this morning!



Behold, the beauty of a large cappuccino!



Oh how I missed you! I vow to try my darndest to stick to one-a-day from now on....



V's breakfast...



A big bowl of granola and fruit with yoghurt for me



I confess, I have been kind of living in this jumper lately...



I can't help it, its just so cosy! I'm just loving every moment of this cooler weather

  2. Coffee is SO dangerous, I try to keep my cup-per-day to 1, it does creep up to two though. Good luck!!! But don't be too hard on yourself if you have days where you blow out ;)

  3. Ahhh. I love coffee, but it makes me hyperactive. I used to drink it every day but now I try to just have it when I am out at a cafe, but I still find it irresistible and regularly fall back to drinking several a day.

  4. I feel the same way about red bull unfortunately. If I start having the occasional one, before I know it I am back to needing one t oget me started in the morning...then I have to cut it out and go cold turkey again:)

  5. 4-5 coffees a day?! This week I have gone from being a one-latte-a-week girl to a one-latte-a-day girl and I've felt guilty about that haha! Good luck sticking to it. I'm going to continue enjoying a coffee everyday... :) it's just so delicious!

  6. How's this? I haven't had coffee since the beginning of January. Not that I was a big drinker (2-3 a week) but I woke up one morning and wondered if I really needed it. So I stopped. Turns out I didn't need it. Now tea - I think I have an addiction to tea...

    I do think if you go without it for a while you develop a new appreciation for it. Either that or you realise you just don't need it!

  7. That looks like such a snuggly comfy warm jumper! No wonder you're living in it hahaha


    I don't drink coffee, but I love the flavours of iced coffee, coffee scrolls, coffee chocolate etc. And right now, with this cold cold weather in Melbourne, I'm craving a coffee.

  9. I love your blog!
    I used to be the biggest coffee addict when I was back home. The coffee over here is to terrible that I was almost forced to give it up. I feel much better for it now and just stick to green tea when I need a caffeine hit. This may change when I come back to Sydney though!

  10. How goes the coffee cut-down? I used to drink a few cups a day too, and I did a coffee detox not long before Christmas. Ever since then I have been happy with a cup a day (sometimes one every two days) and honestly, more than that really starts to wreak havoc with my tummy. It's weird, because before I almost had an IV of coffee with no problem...

  11. Nothing wrong with living in that jumper - I gotta say, it does look pretty friggen great. You're making me crave a soy capp, too.

  12. Great job, lady! That's a tough habit to kick. The shakes are always a good sign of perhaps having a bit much!! One a day sounds great. I limit myself to one coffee on Saturday & Sunday, mainly as I'm trying to save money for travel. Coffee is one of the things I give up, along with magazines :( I can imagine how good that first cup must have been!
