Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

Another blistering headache today - I woke up with it this morning and it continued to try to pound my brains into mush  throughout  the day but I did not touch that demon drink ... coffee! Oh no, this withdrawal headache will not beat me (even if it feels like it IS beating me!) and I am going to come out the other side better for it!

All that did was make me realise HOW many cups of coffee a day I drink! Eeeek! I counted the number of times I DIDN'T have a coffee today and I had got to 6 cups by the time I left work today! 6!! I realised that the first thing I did in the morning was turn on the kettle for my first coffee of the day and it struck me that I was as bad as my husband when he smoked! It was a nasty moment for me and I was determined to stick it out headache or not!  Apart from the nasty coffee withdrawals I have been looking at...

I guess its fate that I found my blog again the day before I bought Sarah Wilson's I Quit Sugar ebook as she recommends keeping a track of your progress in a daily journal or blog ... so I have decided to blog my Sugar Free journey so that my friends can help keep my feet on the ground and help me feel like this ......................   image via 'break out' Wish me luck :)
