Day 4 - 100% Coffee Free!!!

Woke up this morning feeling fantastic! Enjoyed a hot cup of Red Chai decaf tea. I think I have officially kicked the coffee habit. My mind is feeling sharp this morning. Yesterday I walked and did some push ups and dips...feeling a little bit of burn today. I had enough energy to start the potty boot camp for Harrison! Wish us luck!

cup of hot tea
8 oz of super food green juice


Snack - Not sure ( I have lots of options - fruit, nuts, etc)


Lunch - Not sure



Dinner -

Rice pasta
basil marinara
mushrooms

green bean
artichoke hearts
pesto salad

Day 3 - Still learning the ropes!

I woke up with a killer headache this morning. This is not usual for me so I assume it is due to the lack of caffeine. Ugh! So I drink 8 oz of water and then pour myself a glass of OJ. I'm looking forward to that delicious cold rice cereal and soy milk. But Mark notices the cereal has cane syrup in it! Damn! A trip to TJ's is in order! Not being able to face the day without my morning coffee I decide to make 1/2 caff/ 1/2 decaff and limit myself to a 6 oz cup. Mid-day I still had a headache but after I had a snack the headache was gone. Hmmm... not so sure it was a caffeine headache after all! I'm excited for dinner tonight! Went to LIMBO and picked up lots of fresh organic vegis.

Breakfast -

6 oz light soy milk
3/4 rice cereal
orange

Lunch -

15 rice crackers
2 TBSP Hummus

Day 2- Woke up feeling great, until caffeine headache hit!

This morning I popped out of bed full of energy at 6:30. I'm thinking to myself, "wow! this no coffee stuff isn't so bad". My day was off to a great start and I was already looking forward to the food I would be eating today.

3/4 c rice cereal
6 oz light soy milk
1/2 c dried prunes

1 1/2 c left over lentil soup
