I feel great.

I’m going to hit a full week without more than a sip of K’s Coke of caffeine in the past week! And let me tell you, it was rough going to get started but now I’m really glad I decided to cut it out.

As I’ve told people, at my peak here is my standard day:

2 Mountain Dews in the morning, a soda of some sort with lunch, go by 7-11 after lunch and get an energy drink (Red Bull or Amp) and then a soda more in the afternoon.

I had energy to spare but when I crashed, I crashed hard. That’s a lot of caffeine and very unhealthy for someone. I’m going to begin cutting out candy next, it’s going to be fruit for me!

The health benefits are numerous here. It’s a major step towards cutting out empty calories, though I still have a Sprite on occasion but it’s been a lot of water for me lately. The caffeine is an addiction and the idea of being addicted to something bothers me deeply even if it is “harmless” like caffeine.
Also, would anyone out there be interested in attending a Word Camp which is basically a mini convention aimed at Wordpress, blogging and such? I’m considering trying to organize one for Orlando. It would be a few months off, August at the absolute earliest.

Let me know!
