Day 105: No Bueno

Trying to decrease my coffee intake, no bueno. I'm having withdrawals....bad headaches. I went all day with no caffeine. I finally caved when Frank said he was going to go get some gas, and I said, "Can we go to Hortons?' I treated myself, and everyone to donuts, and got myself a coffee. I was trying to limit myself to just 4 cups a day, but I still want to decrease that so I bought some de-caf coffee thinking it would be like a placebo effect. Well, it's not working!! LOL But I am proud of myself because I am a coffee addict, and this is hard. I have been drinking more water, and I am just not a water drinking kind of person, but I have been craving water more, so that is a good sign. Being healthy can suck sometimes, but I am just focusing on all the good. We are on day 7 with the DE, I thought we were on day 6!! I have noticed some improvements in that short time. My face is looking better, still have break outs, but it's looking better, and healing faster, and my nails are getting longer. My belly has had some improvements as well. I was never much of a breakfast/lunch person, it would make me feel icky if I did eat. But I have enjoyed lunch this week, and a couple bowls of cereal. Frank had these dark circles under his eyes for the longest time, and they are gone. Chelsea also had these dark circles, too. Our eyes are looking more clear, like we got the sparkle back to our eyes. Chelsea has not complained of a stomach ache yet, her appetite, and mine has gotten better. Keagan is also saying he is feeling hungrier....not sure if that's a good thing for him, since that kid can eat! haha! I haven't had a change in my energy level, but I don't feel as tired, and I do feel better. But I was hoping for an increase in energy. But, it is only a week on DE, so I know it takes time. I remain hopeful for the next few months. So far, so good. :) We went on a walk today to burn the donut calories off, and I ended up taking almost 50 pics. Sometimes I get so in to taking photos that I don't realize I took so many. I thought I only took a few, so it was tough to just pick one photo for the day so I did a collage. I do this when I have a hard time picking. :)

Donuts & fresh air.
