week 2

I have not had too much to say on the caffeine front. After the headaches went away, I didn't feel too much worse for the wear. I have cheated a few times, so I am technically not caffeine free. Here is a bit of my thought process on cheating:
Last week I had a soda Tuesday afternoon. I am on campus for 13 hours on Tuesday, and I have sessions with clients from 530-830. I feel obligated to be alert and not yawning my way through those sessions. About 3:00 last Thursday I started getting a headache, and I was already feeling run down... time for a couple diet cokes. It is now the following Tuesday and
I feeling pretty run down... I took some Ibuprofen to try and stave off the headache, but I still feel like I need something to keep my eyes open through three house of sitting in a small warm room in a padded chair.... looks like Tuesday cheating is going to be a regular thing.
I also shared a soda this weekend with my wife. When we go to fast food we always share a drink(because we hate spending an extra buck on a cup...) She did not want any of the caffeine free option, so I let her get what she wanted and just dealt with it. I could have just had water, but I wasn't in the mood. I also did not feel like half a soda was going to break me and have me chugging coffee again Monday morning. I was fine yesterday, but like I said above... I am relapsing in about an hour when I get off work.
