Day One:

Stomach aches are not unfamiliar territory for me. After some testing, without conclusion, I am trying two weeks without dairy and caffeine! This is not going to be easy. I drink multiple fancy coffees a day and I eat out almost daily. 

Obviously my habits are not the best and I am in need of a change. Today I was sick in the morning and eventually had a fruit and kale smoothie, sweet potatoes, spaghetti, and some almond milk. I also had a caffeine free beverage made with soy milk from Starbucks. 

I felt sick all day. Went to bed with a slight headache and hoped I could sleep it off and drink some water. I try not to take medication when I don't have to. Woke up at 3 am with a pounding headache and took some Advil.

Onward March!

Day Two:

The first day is over. No coffee today. I had some chamomile caffeine free tea, fruit, soup, and an Oreo so far. There is probably some caffeine within the Oreo but, dairy free. I'm okay with a little bend as long as I can keep it together. 

Exercise will be my next step. Insanity workout will do the best for me, I think. However, insanity is a pretty difficult workout. 

Stomach has been feeling full and burning all day. No headache so far. The first three days of a new habit or kicking an old one, seem to be the worst for me. Cold turkey also seems to be best for me. 

I think that there are multiple ways to get your life "in order". There are basics in life and psychology that have been proven. 

Having a clean space, being in good health, healthy relationships, all important. Maybe I can start from the most common "protocols" and more easily figure out what works best for me when I need to get my life back "in order".

This is probably all just apart of growing up. I like reading other people blog about daily events and getting them done. Life can be difficult and social media typically portrays the good things and few of the negative things. With a blog you can see the depths of peoples thoughts. Posting on a blog can hold you more accountable for your goals and make them more real. It also gives you something to look back on and see your changes. 

Some days I may not make sense but I'm happy about this blogging business and I'm willing to fail over and over again until I get it right. 

Have a wonderful day internet goers!
