You're sure about that?

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I was thinking about this more, and I've decided that I will not have any caffeine along with you all this month. My *only* exception will be if I get a migraine I can take excedrin, which has caffeine, but only because I think I would seriously have to pick my eyeballs out with a safety pin if I could not take medicine for my migraines!

So I'm with ya! No caffeine!

Caffeine withdrawals will cause wicked headaches. You may be having a combination of things. Hang in there!!

barbiebabe, yes i am in ohio and i suppose the temp got to 80 something today. it's hot in this house....remember, there is no ac. it was cold and now i am pretty much hot all the time. computer is upstairs and it's much warmer up here than downstairs. the bike is up here too. can i convince you guys that the headaches are not from caffeine? now, excuse me while i go get in the deep freeze......................

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I don't drink much caffeine, but sometimes I drink it to make it through the afternoon hump... and when I do it is deliberately *to* get caffeine. Not because I like what I'm drinking..... so I'll make a REALLY strong coffee or drink an energy drink that has caffeine (zipfizz).

I should try to figure out something else to get over that afternoon hump on days that I use caffeine... so I will try a big glass of water, jumping on the trampoline, whatever....

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

maybe we need to log in about that kind of stuff, too. not just report that we didn't drink anything but "fixes" for the afternoon drag or the being perkied up in morning.

barbie might tell us that getting our exercise in early is helpful. gets the blood flowing. it would be cooler doing it then.

we just need to really support each other in this. lauren is going to be suuper busy for awhille and i know she is going to need us to help her through this.

freckles, i'm really glad you joined us! [[[hugs]]]]]

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

me too lisagirl. it's just a throb now. if i could stick my head in the freezer for a bit, it might actually go away. i use to get headaches all the time before i lost weight. they actually never went away. i just had varying degress of headaches. they quit when i lost weight except under extreme stress, which is going on, and when i get hot. the hot flashes i have just do me in.

our weather is suppose to cool back down to low 70's by the weekend. that will be a good thing.

it's very good.........lauren stayed clean today!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

I did great today. No need for the caffeine monster.

I haven't had anything but water to drink for the last 3 days. that is my norm. I love ice water!

I'm going to see if I can having nothing but water for my beverages for the full month...

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

i hope your headache goes all the way away for GOOD, jimmie!!!

Re: Addicted to Caffeine?

freckles, i am hoping the same. nobody believed me when i said it was the heat. i was hot all last night and the headache is just sitting there..... not bad but not completely gone. i know i lived in the heat when i was in the south but i was in the air conditioning all the time. i could get out of the heat of the day. no ac here!

good for you being off the caffeine! i haven't had any either since.... i guess friday or saturday. quite frankly, it's gotten hot enough outside that i am not too anxious to be picking up anything hot to drink.

i know lauren is so super busy right now. i don't know when she will be able to check in. nut lauren, when you get here, know that we thought of you and are wishing you good no caffiene days!
