Weeks 1 & 2: Failure to comply


It isn't working. I had jamba juice one day, and then I smelled starbucks on the way to class the next day. That enticing smell of freshly ground pike place roast, brewed to perfection, with the perfect amount of steamed milk and two packets of organic sugar. I mean, really? Can you blame me?

The weekend was more and less succcessful, depending on who's story you listen to. I will tell you that I didn't drink any coffee over the weekend. My cousin, who has been monitoring my coffee consumption at home, will tell you that substituting 4 tea bags of strong-ass indian black tea (yes, I mean darjeeling) doesn't count as caffeine abstinence. But what does she know anyways?

The fact that we have an absolutely gorgeous and user friendly tassimo coffee machine at home does not make my life any easier. It calls my name. We have recently acquired an equally impressive juice maker machine thingy. But I haven't figured out how to use it yet. That is my next task. I'm going to try and replace the behavior of making coffee into making juice instead. That way I can limit my coffee at home, and if I need a kick start in the morning I won't feel too bad. At least not while the addiction monkey is firmly attached to my back.
