update

Well, have been off of caffeine for five days now.  I have noticed a difference.  First of all, of course I missed the habit of drinking diet pepsi, and the carbonation.  It had become part of my lifestyle.  I have a noticed a drop in energy.  I have alway battled low energy.  I am actually one of those people with a low thyroid.  I do not feel as alert.  I have also noticed feeling a little down.  That caffeine really had an effect on me.  (All I want to do is be on my bike in the woods) So to combat these withdrawal symptoms, I have acknowledged that part of this is just the process and something I have to go through.  Second of all, to increase my energy I will have to exercise consistently.  I have worked out this week, Monday and Wednesday and have noticed a difference. To cambat my attitude, just remember this is temporary and hopefully I am not rude to to many people, especially my family.  Plus I need to lose those prednisone pounds.  And last of all, I just have to have faith to carry on.  A doctor told me years ago that caffeine is a drug, and I am beginning to understand that statement.  Forward...........
