No coffee for 6 days - Update in thread

I usually drink 20 oz of fresh brewed half-decaf in the a.m. Was trying to gradually dial it down to nocaf with no success. I did a yoga/hiking weekend this past weekend and stopped drinking coffee. No milk either. Felt okay. I put some half-and-half in my tea and noticed a not so good reaction so I'm going to go off the milk too or try switching to soymilk. So far I have ditched the Splenda and artificial sweeteners, sugar, coffee and now milk. Yea me! Splenda was as tough as quitting ciggies!
Update - switched to almond milk. I used it in my oatmeal - yum!

And guess what? I no longer have to use concealer on my eyes! I used to have darkness on the inside by the nose and had to use concealers. No more dark circles!

But that undeye circle thing is intriguing, I must say.
Wurly and proud!
Modified CG since 2008.
I am lactose intolerant and I currently drink rice milk as a sub. I try to avoid too much soy [and I'm not too crazy about the taste of soy anyway].
Almond milk also seems like a great alternative because of the protein content. Rice milk is really high in carbs. I do *not* need more of those!
What brand do you get, SBB?
Highly porous. Color over grey.
I love all the Curl Junkie products. Still experimenting with gels and curl creams. Still hoping for 2nd day hair....

Mostly to renew my energy and because I was seriously dependent on just that one 20 oz half-decaf I had per day. Benefits:
- I became less dehydrated
- Constipation lessened
- Skin darkening around eyes that I attributed to aging went away
- I'm not dragging azz as much in the a.m. and it's easier to go to bed at night. I never had sleep trouble, just trouble turning off the light and sleeping.
I still consume caffeine via yerba mate and Scottish breakfast tea.

I have a love/hate relationship with coffee, because of jitters and effect on teeth and feeling like an addict (that explains hate; love is more obvious). My own personal take is to give up coffee in spring/summer when it doesn't feel good or connect with the seasons and then drink it, in moderation (so 2 cups max a day) in fall/winter. So far that seems to be working for the past year. I do drink black, green, white and herbal teas year round.
