I know water, but what did you do when the cravings hit.

This is my 21st day without caffeine.

I accomplished getting past the caffeine withdrawal headache by getting sick (strep throat) at the same time so that I couldn't tell between the sick headache and the withdrawal headache. when i recovered i hadn't had caffeine for 5 days so i stopped drinking caffeinated coffee at work. The other thing I did was make sure i was getting the proper amount of sleep and therefor not requiring the caffeine pick-me-up in the morning.

It's going pretty well thusfar and my BP has dropped a few points even.

I'm setting a goal to lose 26 lbs by the end of december. I will be walking 2.3 miles tonight at 3.1mph with 3.5 incline and increase this by .1 miles every 2 days.
