First Day of Lent
Yesterday was the first day of lent. My drinking allowance yesterday was three cups of tea (no coffee). I stuck to my plan of having one cup in the morning and one at lunch time, but by the evening I was so worn out I couldn’t face making and drinking a cup of tea.
So in some ways yesterday was a success… I only had two cups of my three cup allowance. The down side is that I felt crap all day, a situation which wasn’t help by the fact that I could find a solution to a problem I’m having at work.
This morning I felt a lot better. I didn’t feel the need for a cup of tea before going to work, and I was able to fight off the craving until about mid-morning. Lets hope every day is this easy.
If all goes well will you keep this going after Lent?
We’ll see how it goes. After lent I may try to restrict my caffeine intake to say 3-4 cups but allow myself coffee, or I may keep off the coffee and allow myself all the tea that I want.
Or I may say, to hell with it, reduced caffeine doesn;t make any difference, and go back to my old ways….
…only time can tell!
