Coffee addiction

I am not even sure if the title really describes my love for coffee ... I drank it all day and all night ... like water ... all the time ... when I was pregnant I drank decaf and was fine with that ... I have loved coffee for as long as I can remember ...

But my biggest addiction was Mocha Frappachinos from Starbucks ... every morning without fail I got one ... and half the time I would get one on the way home too ... I planned our trips out of the house so I could stop by Starbucks if not twice at least once ... there are several stores that know my order without having to speak a word to me ... it has been that bad ...

Last Sunday I had a few sips of one ... it was hot out ... blazing hot ... too hot to be drinking that ... walk off the face of the sun hot and I should have just been having water ... but I didn't ... and I paid the price ... I was in bed at 5:30 praying I would throw up ... spent half the night moaning or in the bathroom ...

Come Monday morning there was nothing I wanted less ... all I wanted was water and to sleep ... I left work early and did just that ... slept slept slept ...

Well today is Friday and I have gone the whole week without stepping into a Starbucks ... I don't know that I have ever done that before when one has been accessible to me ...

I haven't gone completely cold turkey on ice blended drinks ... Tuesday I stopped and got a smoothie at Robeks and it hit the spot ... I've always gotten the Strawberry Banana one ... Wednesday I decided to be a bit daring and got a Raspberry one and it was delicious ... Thursday I went all out and got Awesome Acai ... I had been wanting to try it forever and I am so glad I did ... it is amazing ... and sooooooo much better for me than the Mocha Frapps I have been sucking down ...

I've traded:
380 calories for 183
5 grams of fat for 1
78 carbs for 42
65 grams of sugar for 34
1 gram of fiber for 2
0% vitamin C for 26%
0% vitamin A for 3%
165 mg of caffeine for 0

So overall a pretty good change ...
