had to do it

[shoepk]

I never ever work mornings at the restraunt well I was scheduled one so when I got there i was tired and sluggish i needed to wake up and fast so i had 2 cups of coffee 2 half&half and 3 slendas....I never drink coffee only every once in a blue mood will this mess me up?

Weeeell...you're not supposed to have leaded coffee but I don't think 2 cups is going to be a big deal. If it had been 2 pots that would've been different! Lol! If you had 3 splenda's then you've hit your sweetner allowance for the day, so just make a note of that. I'm not a morning person either so I feel for ya! I think you'll be just fine. :hug

A lot of people on this board drink 2 cups of coffee with cream every day. Not to worry.

You know what I find "wakes" me up better than a cup of coffee ever did? Exercise!

Walk a mile in 15 minutes, and your heart is pumping enough blood into your brain to wake it up, plus you get the other health benefits of exercise, including using up calories and speeding up your metabolism.

2 cups of coffee, provided they were 8 ounce cups, contains 2 net carbs. (yes, coffee and tea have carbs and must be counted towards your daily carb totals) Depending on the amount of half-and-half you used, we're talking another 1 to 3 net carbs (if you stayed within your 3 tablespoons daily limit). Plus the 3 Splendas and you've used up 6-8 net carbs for your liquid breakfast.

You might want to read over the FAQ section of this board, specifically the FAQs concerning caffiene and this diet. Granted as Finelly said, some folks drink caffienated drinks and still lose weight---but at what cost to their insulin regulation, we don't know, unless they measure it.
