“No Caffeine Today (24 hours)!”
Argh! No coffee or Mountain Dew today! No caffeine! What a bummer!
Yes, some smarty-pants are already telling me that I can drink “decaffeinated” coffee and soft drinks. But, that’s the same person who says they drink beer for the “taste” yet they turn their nose up when I offer them an Odoul’s. Unleaded just ain’t the same, is it?
Though I’m complaining, I know this is a good challenge for a lot of us. Some of us may need to take some Advil or Tylenol later in the day as a result of today’s challenge; there’s no denying our need to decrease caffeine consumption. Fortunately, this challenge arrives on a Friday, which is the day of the week that I’m least likely to fall asleep at my desk. Still, I like to start my favorite day with my favorite beverage.
I could make plenty of diet-related sacrifices that would improve my health today. Given the food and water shortages around the world, a day without something like caffeine should not be a problem. This ought to be an easy Challenge that will help train me up for some of the more difficult ones later.
No Caffeine today? No problem!
“A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.” (Proverbs 25:28, NLT)
