GROOOOOAAAANNNNN ...
Here are the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal (I have the ones with the ticks):
- Headaches ✓
- Joint pain ✓
- Brain fog ✓
- Nausea ✓
- Negative mood ✓
- Insomnia ✓
- Lethargy ✓
- Constipation
- Sleepiness
- Flu-like symptoms
- Vomiting
To prevent caffeine withdrawal (apparently) you should reduce your caffeine intake by 10% every week or two. If I had taken that road, my 10 week Paleo Way program would have been over by the time I finally quit coffee!
Anyway, I know that it will be over soon and I will feel better for it.
The other thing that has caused me no end of pain ... the supposedly gentle exercises!
I have muscles where I forgot there were muscles! Rolling over in bed now, is even more difficult that when I was 9 months pregnant! Oh the pain! It hurts to cough. It hurts to sneeze. It hurts to get up out of my chair.
The exercises really are gentle, but they work muscles that have been lying dormant for quite a few years. I hope this means that I will be looking toned and trim by the end of the ten weeks!
Anyway, this evening, my head is feeling a little clearer, so HOPEFULLY, tomorrow will be the day to get back on the study treadmill!!
Nite all.
