I haven't cheated, and have been able to almost convince myself that this isn't going to be as hard as I thought...until yesterday. Last week Cory left coffee in the coffee pot and I poured it down the sink right after he left the house so I wouldn't give in and drink the rest of it! If that was yesterday there's so way I could've resisted.
Monday was a crazy day...Sam woke up at 4 am and didn't want to go back to sleep-so that meant that I was up at 4 am and didn't get to go back to sleep. He was a sick little guy, fussy and cranky and really not easy to get along with. That meant I was fussy and cranky and not that easy to be around either! Usually after those kind of nights/mornings I "reward" myself with a nice latte--yeah, well, yesterday I didn't know what to do. I almost went through the Starbucks drive-through on the way to the pediatrician's office but I didn't...I still wish I had! I had this little conversation in my head about if I should get a latte. If I had no one would know, but then I would know I cheated...and then I'd have to confess...and I certainly don't want to do that! So...I kept driving. I'm still wondering if the price of confession would've been worth that latte.
It feels weird to walk in the office each morning without my Single Shot Grande Vanilla Latte, with whipped cream. (I'm a creature of habit, I get the same thing no matter what coffee shop I go to.)
I didn't know it would be this hard...I have been on this fast for 7 days...only 33 more to go!

Re: I didn't cheat...even though I wanted too! Kory, you're not alone in viewing this! I really never understood the reasons or purposes for a blog, but now it's starting to make sense.Tab, Have you gotten over the cafeene driven headaches yet? That's always the hardest part for me when using the "cold turkey" approach to quitting coffee. It works, I know it works 'cuz I've quit dozens of times only to relapse over the morning newspaper or a boring business meeting. Best wishes on your continued will power and congrat's on the new blogRick

Re: I didn't cheat...even though I wanted too! Yeah-definitely the headaches-they're no fun! It helps that this is a coffee fast, and not a caffeine fast--although there's not enough Pepsi in the world to make up for the loss of coffee!
