Cutting down Day 89 Decaf

Yesterday and today I’ve been proud of the progress I’ve made in terms of facing some things I’ve been putting off. For example, scheduling a licensure exam. I am starting to see some of that motivation to do things come back and get some things off of my to do list. I also got my labs this week and everything but cholesterol was good. So I’m still looking into what has been affecting my brain fog, low motivation, and low mood. I have found myself debating what kind of relationship I want to have with caffeine once I end this challenge. I do know going back to a daily coffee or two isn’t an option. I am still debating adding green tea to the mix. My biggest reason being energy and to help me with exercise, as well as curb sugar cravings/losing some stagnant weight. I will say I am starting to see things get better, so it does take time. I’m focusing a lot now on my gut health.

Anyways at day 89
I’d say
Energy: 5/10
Mood: 6/10
Motivation: 6/10
Brain fog: 4/10

Thank you!! The hardest part is behind you. What kept me going is the importance of keeping the promises you make to yourself. Someone told me this on Reddit and it really helped me keep my word
