I’ve always liked to think that while I enjoy caffeine, I’m not dependent on it. I know that might not make much sense, especially if you know how much I love my diet Coke and my Starbucks, but with the exception of a few days when I’m so tired that I rely on caffeine to keep going, I typically think that I can take it or leave it. That it’s incidental to me. That I could easily just drink Crystal Light or water and not miss the caffeine one bit.
Well.
This challenge is teaching me that I’m way more dependent on caffeine than I like to think. Right now I’m out of town, and I just ran down to the lobby in my hotel to get a little afternoon pick-me-up in the form of a grande Starbucks. Yes, I could have bought a bottle of water – but I wanted the jolt of caffeine. And I think the caffeine probably helps me mask the bigger question, which is why am I so stinkin’ short on energy by 3 or 4 in the afternoon?
