I think I can, I think I can...

I feel like the little engine that could at this moment. I am officially trying to kick the caffeine habit, or I should say the Diet Coke habit. I never really had an issue with caffeine or soda until I had Poogie and started drinking Diet Coke. Now I live on the stuff. I know it is bad for me. It makes me irritable, and my stomach hurt, but I can't stop. That was until my stomach has started hurting all the time. So just as an experiment I limited my caffeine intake to day and surprise it has hurt much, much less. In fact it feels quite good at this moment. It's more of a burning ache instead of hurting but it still doesn't feel good.

Now I'm not going off of it cold turkey. I don't think my kids or hubby would appreciate that, but I am trying to cut way back. I drank some wonderful caffeine free herbal tea this evening and water with dinner!! Yes, water! My body might just be in shock! I will just have to wait and see what the next 24 hours brings but it may get pretty ugly around here;)
