confession

i am drinking a coffee right now. and this isn’t my first cup in a long time. i have been drinking coffee for almost two weeks now. it all started when i had to go on a business trip and the hotel i stayed in had free in-room coffee. it was sooo tempting. i told myself no one would ever have to know… ha.

and the worst part is that i’m not sure i’m going to go back to coffee-less-ness. for a couple of reasons. 1) because i like coffee. 2) coffee actually has some nutritional value – antioxidants and whatnot 3) because I was craving more and more sugar as a replacement for coke and caffeine and gained nearly 10 lbs since I quit drinking cokes 2 months ago! since I started having a cup of joe every morning i have since lost almost 5. As superficial as it may be, I can deal with headaches and cravings… but not with extra pounds.

so, the coke thing still stands and I will continue to donate my savings (even the savings that I would see if I quit drinking caffeine). but for the foreseeable future, i’ll be drinking coffee.

and just for fun… hurray coffee and 15 things you should know about coffee
