Moving on. No weigh-in yesterday, but was up a pound today.
I think it's going to be at least a week before my body sorts out the no-coffee thing. So cutting caffeine can possibly cause insomnia--I didn't know. Not the reaction I've had in the past. Good to have a possible explanation (article: Caffeine Withdrawal). No headaches this time around. Honestly I'd rather have a headache than insomnia. I've really never had a night (before or after using CPAP therapy) like the other night.

I'm down .2# today. I only had decaf coffee with sugar in lieu of any milk or coconut creamer. Then I had a McD's HF sundae (the choc--caffeinish). I really only wanted the chocolate--can't stand that soft serve except as a vehicle for chocolate--haha! And I had a MtnDew baja blast--small (has caffeine, but not much). I'm just using it as a vehicle to cut back--I don't have to keep any at home. I was going to go with reg coffee at home, but decided (along with miracle of procrastination) to skip it. Funny how procrastination can also encompass a decision:-)
The MD baja blast is sooo sweet (sickly), but doable for a couple of days. It's like the drink they give you for a glucose tolerance test (definitive test for diabetes). That one is pure dextrose if I'm not mistaken--it's horrible.
I will track my sleep along with this--helps with the motivation to stay on the straight and narrow--and report how that goes after a week or so. I'm looking for a pattern on that note.
Supper was on plan: 2 cups of mustard greens (with a few splashes of vinegar) and a svg (1/3 c) of oats + flaxmeal (abt 1T) + abt 1/3 c frzn org blueberries.

I'm down 2.6# today, and with that I'm going to start weighing in daily for a little while. Part of the drastic drop is because yesterday I weighed before my "solid elimination ritual" haha!
Supper was on plan: abt a cup of new potatoes, 2 cups of mustard greens (with a few splashes of vinegar); a bit later a svg (1/3 c) of oats + scoop of flaxmeal (abt 2T) + abt 1/3 c frzn org blueberries.

I can't really tell if sleep is improved since the elimination of caffeine/diet coke. I have a lot on my mind, super stressed about work, etc., so I don't sleep that great anyway. I'm tired all the time. I crave a good night's rest.

For my weigh-in, I'm up 9.4# from yesterday's posted weight.
I've decided to get on with it. I'll focus on the same food and exercise goals of the previously mentioned 30-Day Dealio. I just may not keep count of days at this point. Long-term I'd like to be caffeine-free (again). If at first you don't succeed, try try again!

I can't live without coffee, i find. At least for now.... I have headaches and the boost of energy that it provides in the morning is so essential to me....
I can say I'm successfully caffeine free for 3 months now. The last time I quit it, it lasted only 2 months. So I'm encouraged I'll stick with it. Good luck to you!

Today begins Day 24 of 30 of the aforementioned plan. I did well for about four days and then I slid off the cliff, to be charitable. Moving right along, I'll weigh in tomorrow and will begin regather things. Sneak preview: I'm about 10# above posted weight, but I'll update for real tomorrow. Gotta get back on the horse:-)
Temp got down to about 40F overnight--coldest since mid-March. It's supposed to be a little more seasonable over the next week.

Tomorrow will begin Day 1 of 30 to function within these limits: 1) Starch-based, no added fat, plenty of vegetables 2) Drink decaf coffee 3) At least 60 min/day activity.
Food will be centered on sweet potatoes and greens, oats (plus fruit, flaxmeal, bran) for breakfast, brown rice (short grain for me), quinoa and the like. No high-fat whole plant foods like avocados or olives. The exception to that will be the addition of nuts--about an oz/day of almonds or pecans if I feel like it. I will also include 2-3 svgs of fruit daily.
I will have some challenging situations, but for the most part I think I'm prepared to get this going and keep it going. My head is completely wrapped around it:-)
I checked my body fat and it's holding just at what is posted above from June. My measurements today are thus:
Rt Arm ::11 , Rt Wrist :: 6-1/8, Rt Leg :: 24.5, Rt Calf :: 15, Chest :: 36, Waist :: 35, Hip :: 42.5, Abd :: 40.25
The cravings will go within about three days. I'll be eating 40-50g of fiber/day. My poop will hardly smell if at all. And I'll lose a considerable amount of weight.

I was a faithful Dallas fan in the early 80's. Also watched Dynasty, but not it's spin off.

I hope all is well with you, Biscotti! Cheers!
Yea, it gets very annoying when some injury makes me take it easy against my will! I heard that about Andy and Djokovic playing when they were 11! All the papers here are now predicting he's going to propose to his girlfriend of 8 or 9 years. A bit presumptuous! Would love to go the celebration they'll have in his home village.

I'm down a little on todays' weigh-in.
It was still in the 100sF when I was mowing yesterday, but I had to get it done. I was not going to leave it for the weekend. A cold front came through overnight so the next couple of days should be spectacular weather-wise.

Sorry to hear you're dealing with insomnia, I had not idea that was a side effect either. Have you tried valerian root? It usually works for me when I'm having an occasional sleepless night. Have a good one!

Wow didn't know that quitting can keep you from sleeping, sorry that you are have insomnia.. Hope you get in a good night's sleep this evening :)
