I’ve given up coffee.
I know. I deserve a medal or something. It’s been more than a week since I’ve had my last cafecito and I sorta, kinda, not-really miss it.
I did experience minor withdrawals. I had headaches the first three days but pain relievers took those away. I didn’t think it would be this easy. The diet plan that I’m following doesn’t allow creamer, so I had to make the switch over to black coffee. Well, I’d rather just quit for a while because, black coffee? No gracias.
I also stopped the soda. This was HUGE for me. Again, I’m shocked that I’m handling it so well. So far, it’s been the easiest thing to do while on this journey for a better me.
Now, I need all your tips and advice because drinking water is getting old. FAST! I’m also in pain!!! My neck and shoulders are killing me. They are so freaking tight and “knotted” up. How do I relieve that? I mean, other than Salonpas or heat compresses.
I’m such a newbie. I need your help!

Go do some meditation twice a day. That should help you with your neck and shoulders.
