Fighting crime is a pretty stressful job. So, when I'm done with the crime, I also quit caffeine. That's right. Goodbye Redbull. Adios Diet Coke. Peace out to 5-Hour Energy Drink.
But sadly, I had to also recently say goodbye to one of my life's greatest loves.
My girlfriend? Nope, she stays!
I had to quit Chai Tea. I'll miss that blend of cinnamon, pepper, ginger and cloves. Mmmmm.
This is it; the new non-crime fighting Craig. Time to get healthy.
I even went for a run the other day. Of course, I felt like a three-pack-a-day smoker and had to stop frequently, but I finished. Oh, you should have seen it! I laced up with my circa 1970 Converse All-Stars, socks pulled up to my knees with really trendy red and blue stripes at the top and ran all the way around my parking lot. Okay, seriously, I ran further than that and looked much more trendy while booking my buns.
While I ponder my next few infusions (don't forget, blackberry and cherry bounce are in the hopper), I've made some serious life decisions in the last few days. In order to get healthy (while not cutting flavored infusions out of my diet), I had to make some other sacrifices.
So, this new caffeine-free diet is for you, readers.
Until I quit quitting, cheers!
Craig
