Today marks\u00a0Day 9\u00a0of my 30-day(-minimum!) experiment cutting out caffeine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once — perhaps\u00a0on Day 5; can’t really remember — I completely forgot what I was doing and had a <\/em>miniscule amount\u00a0of chocolate. I don’t plan\u00a0on repeating\u00a0my mistake, but regardless, that minor intake of caffeine doesn’t seem to have made any impact on my results. I feel at liberty to completely discount it. =)<\/p>\n

So, my results? I totally<\/em> have more energy now. Enough\u00a0so others have noticed. Not enough for my liking, however; I need to exercise more consistently and such for that. Overall, though,\u00a0the energy increase easily has been\u00a0worth the 7-or-so days of miserable caffeine withdrawal. Also: I fall asleep faster now. Within 10 minutes. That probably has more to do with a consistent bedtime than with cutting out caffeine.<\/p>\n

I don’t find avoiding caffeine difficult in any emotional way — especially after enjoying\u00a0the\u00a0energy increase.\u00a0I’d prefer being able to eat chocolate, but, eh, ’tis better for me not to anyway! The only real difficulty I’ve found is that it’s easy to accidently\u00a0consume something\u00a0that does contain caffeine. Seems every drink<\/a>\u00a0and piece\u00a0of candy<\/a>\u00a0has some. Grr. I suppose the only solution is to be incredibly conscious of everything you eat or drink.<\/p>\n

If you’re considering cutting out caffeine, I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n
