A gym rat and a cuppa… two weeks late!
Hellooooo world. It has been two weeks since I wrote a blog post!
Did you miss me? Seriously? Did you miss me?
There has been a lot of water under the bridge since I last graced this page. Let me catch you up on some great news:
I am now on day 9 of replacing my cup (or several) of Joe with a cuppa (tea). That’s right! I was drinking way too much coffee. One hard-sell at Teavana later and tea is now the “in” drink.
cuppa tea
They say variety is the spice of life. Well I have had black tea and green tea. I’ve steeped white tea and herbal tea. There has been loose tea and tea bags.
And the big change: there has only been 1.5 cups of coffee in the last nine days. I couldn’t make it through the first 45 minutes of my day without at least two cups a mere 10 days ago.
How do I feel?
After day two (where I went through withdrawal with a nasty migraine), I feel great. I literally have barely touched coffee. I haven’t even thought about brewing a pot of coffee. I don’t miss it one bit.
That’s right I lost coffee and gained tea (see how this blog title is supposed to work) and I feel a ton better.
Couple that with the very generous gift of a gym membership and I am finally off to the races with my weight loss. For the last two mornings I have actually gotten up and gone to the gym. I don’t even know how long it has been since I last went to a gym two days in a row.
Lisa says that after two days I am no longer a “grumpasaurus” and that the gym has really put me in a great mood. I say that I already feel like I have lost between 2 and 5 oz.
I also made a big pot of lentil soup last night. It sure seems like I am on a health kick (at least for the last two days) Let’s see if I can make the gym and the tea habits stick.
Now, if I could only get into the habit of writing a blog post more often than every 16 days.
What do you think? Can I do it? Can I keep up with my two new health habits and also get into a blogging habit?
