Tracking Beverage Consumption
As some may know I’ve been trying to stop drinking coffee lately and I’ve been substituting in other sorts of drinks like tea, soda and water. Well, I’m failing miserably in my attempt to be coffee-free so I’m going to try and document what I’m drinking every day and see if that helps. It’s the same principle I apply to my monthly budget. Not constraining spending/drinking coffee, but just noting it and making myself aware. It’s usually a pretty good system, so let’s give it a go shall we? This is a running tally I’ll try to keep adding to as the days go on

Why are you trying to give up coffee completely? Moderation is the key. You give up coffee so you drink way too much tea instead? Sounds like giving up one habit for another to me!
Well, tea is a lot healthier (depending on the kind), so I don’t mind as much. Eventually the goal is to be on water in the morning.
Well coffee…too much anyway is bad for your brain. I do one cup a day. Just limit yourself to that, just make sure it is a good one!
I think I’m almost done tracking this stuff. Maybe I’ll just go until day 14 and stop.
