So Far so good! Had a good nights rest last night. Slept pretty solid. No coffee this am, and I'm not planning on having any today. Shouldn't be a big struggle. Day 1's typically aren't too big of an issue. It's day 5, 6, and 7 that normally starting shouting at me that I need to get some coffee in my system. That too is when I start feeling good! Good thing I'm off today from my regular job. I'm going to Bikram Yoga at noon. I have a couple of appointments this afternoon with my side business. Then plan on going to the 7pm AA meeting tonight. I'll try and post later.
Today's intake:
1 cup of chai tea
32oz of water
32oz of green smoothy
1 orange
Thanksgiving left overs
desert

I feel really good about not having any coffee today! Very ready for bed right now. Just wanted to get some text to the blog.
Bikram Yoga
Tried a different yoga studio today! I was very disappointed, but happy that I know about the setup and all that Jazz. I swear, my yoga studio totally rocks! Not that I've been to that many studios, but the ones that I have gone too, were not as satisfying. Every one of them were not as hot as our studio. Funny thing is, that was before they upgraded their heating system. You know you're going to sweat good when you go to Bikram in Santa Clara, CA!! I could also complain about a few of our teachers, but the one today, was so weak! I mean, come on...I want to hear the dialog. I want to feel the dialog being spoken with intensity! All of our instructors are just super passionate and it comes across in the way they speak the dialog. I did sweat. I did get a fairly good work out considering, I didn't have a mirror to look into to check my posture. I was in front of the glass door, and could see only a slight reflection of myself in the glass! Whatever!! The humidifier in the room sounded like a diesel engine! It was so loud, you could barely hear the instructor. I dunno! There are other studios I want to check out in the bay area, but I kinda don't want to waste my 90 minutes. I have so little free time as it is!! It's all good. I just wanted to vent!
Day 2 No caffeine
Thought I'd combine my posts since I didn't actually post last night. I was too tired by the time I got around to it.
Sleep was good last night. It was really heavy. I didn't roll out of bed til 9amish. Got to bed around 12am last night. I had some trippy dreams, that I've already forgotten mostly. I do remember that flickster was in it! Pretty odd....
I tried to make Bikram today, but my appointment ran over. Oh well....for sure tomorrow! I did end up napping on my break this evening. Hopefully tomorrow will be the last of my afternoon / evening naps. This is what coming off caffeine means to my body. I get really lethargic for at least 3-4 days....and i fucking hate it! I hate having low energy! The key will be not to indulge after days 5-7 when I really get off on the caffeine high. I'm tired of the up and downs. Eventually, the caffeine stops working as well as it did when I go off for several days then start again. It's amazing what plays in my head after being off for a while. I get these triggers and most of the time I act on them. I will try to remember to meditate and take some deep breaths. Maybe I'll take Bella on a rollerblade or bounce on my trampoline to get my lymph system circulating.
Day 3 No caffeine
I didn't publish this last night so I thought I'd just continue with status update.
Slept in again this morning. Had a good restful sleep last night. I remember my wife pushing me to roll over. I was snoring/breathing loudly. I'm wondering if I start eating more cleanly as well as not eating so late and losing weight will arrest my snoring! I hate that she nudges me so often because of that issue. I'm actually planning on fasting for a few days on green juice and smoothies. I'd like to drop a few pounds before Mexico. So far so good today.
Intake:
64oz of water
10oz chai tea
48oz of green smoothy
Bikram Yoga was awesome today. Super hot! Excellent instructor! It was so challenging getting through the class, but I did! Taking the day off tomorrow. I have an customer to see in San Francisco and will most likely not have time. Maybe I'll catch a noon meeting there or somewhere in between. Plan on going to the midnight meeting tonight at SNL. I'm glad I got an early night tonight.
I did end up having to take a nap tonight at break time. Hopefully I won't have to tomorrow night. I've had mostly good energy this evening. I was a little tired just before noon yoga gave me some good energy. Hope to have more tomorrow.
