well, it is progress

Thanks for the concern over my health and listening to my moaning.

Yesterday I cut my caffiene intake by about 50% and my refined sugar intake by a similar amount. Today I've managed to avoid the caffiene alltogether. I'm not planning on cutting out caffiene entirely, just taking the sugar out of my tea and cutting way, way down on my soft drink consumption. The withdrawl headache will probably hit tomorrow, so I may have a cup of tea in the morning to take the edge off.

I had today off from work, so it was easy to be good. Hit the treadmill for a little while. Did some other minor exercise periodically throughout the day to keep my metabolism up. Got a fair amount of stuff done around the house. Didn't attack the pantry like a starved shark, even though I've had the munchies like massive. The tension in my chest melted away at different points in the day, but still reappeared.
