Hello.
Well yesterday I got by with "only" four cups of tea. Drunk in the proper teacups, not guzzled by the pair via mug. Today only three.
I've been a complete zombie. Get moments where my thoughts seem to come to complete halt, or I debate over which cabinet the thing I can't remember is that I need to do something which I forgot, then I remember what I'm doing, and realize I don't actually need anything to do it. Yes, Chrissy Snow sentence-like thoughts, especially just after rising.
But that is not the odd side effect. The odd side effect is that I lost a couple of pounds. Except that's not it either. Yesterday I realized I was phenomenally thirsty, and glugged down two or three of my mugs full of water before feeling halfway ok. Lightbulb: the "lost" weight was water. I was dehydrated.
Yep, drinking 4 or more mugfuls of coffee was all liquid I stopped having. I did normally have water as well, but didn't need much. So today I've started where I just go and chug water from time to time.
Right now I have broken down to a craving, sort of. I am having a cup of decaf. I put honey in it to sort of mask the slightly sharp taste it has, and just to make it a bit more of a treat. I am in need of treats after getting psyched out about
those two pounds I didn't lose.
