Cutting out caffeine and shifting to ridiculously clean eating have done wonders for resetting my daily routine.
I'm still adjusting to how it affects my end of day, but I got up naturally an hour before my alarm today, so I'm knocking out some admin tasks before the run and feeling great.
Bodies are so weird, but it's nice to figure out the lifestyle that works best for one's own.
Morning, all you strange and wonderful vehicles of change! Hope you're feeling nurtured by what fuels you, too.
@MLClark my cutting caffeine is on day 5. The headaches have subsided but I am tired all day and trouble staying asleep all night. Work in progress and glad you are doing well.
I was the GRUMPIEST BEASTIE while in withdrawal, so I hear you. Most forums caution against going cold turkey because the transition is so hard, but I am a stubborn git when I'm fed up with something not working, and I suspect that you might be, too. :)
Are you upping your hydration and salts (sodium, magnesium)? I found that helped tremendously. But every body is different, so big hugs to you as you figure out what's right for yours!
