WAY BACK in January, I couldn't think of a New Years resolution.
Seriously, I was stumped.
I don't have any weight to lose - although I could stand to gain a few pounds.
I don't smoke, barely drink alcohol, do drugs... or so I thought.
What I finally realized, as I chugged down my second or third can of Coke of the day, on January 16 2011, was that I was an addict.
I couldn't do without it. I was a hot mess without my drug. I got nervous, irritated, cranky and miserable without it:
Caffeine.
The year before, I had given up all energy drinks and had been reduced to just Coke. And on that random January day, I thought I might just give it up cold turkey.
So I did.
Now it's the middle of August and I still haven't touched any caffeine. The only exception is when my friend bought me a shot of something with red bull in it, which I almost threw up as I threw the drink back. It was SO nasty. Oh, and two 5-hour energy drinks over the course of two days per drink.
Just wondering, what was your resolution, and did you stick to it this far into the year?
