I like to set ridiculous goals for myself and then get super bummed out when I realize I'm not anywhere close to reaching them half way through. It's self defeating, so I've decided to set much smaller reasonable goals.... more like stepping stones. :tongue:

Today's goal (and for the rest of the week)- Drink water only! Gotta get myself off of these energy drinks and it's gonna be HOT this week.

Well ... Maybe wind down slow instead of cold turkey???

That way ya don't sabotage your self w/ caffeine headaches, etc ...

My ethos in the clinic:

"If you're gonna take the poison, take the antidote" ...

So ... Often if ya just insist 2 glasses of water for every energy drink ...

The math works ... AND ... Ya bless it and still wean off ...

Just a thought, GL, whatever ... Don't self destruct ... flowerforyou

Oh. Sorry ... I read it and thought it said 'GOAT of the Day' ... thought there was gonna be some serious 'goat discussin' goin' on ... my bad ...

As for setting those unreachable 'goals' for yourself, here's a li'l trick to use ...

Every time you catch yourself doin' that, say out loud 'That's so STUPID ... !' ... works for me ...

I would suggest setting short-term and long-terms goals. Depending on your goal, time and commitment.

Why not mix 1/2 water and 1/2 energy drink, and then eventually substitute the 1/2 energy drink with a squeeze of lemon?

Just a thought.......good luck!

My goal for the week: fix the sprinklers so my lawn doesn't die in this heat.
And eat more veggies and fruit every day.

Well, if you find yourself in trouble ask yourself "Would RO consider that a swear word?"

Considering I can only think of two words I consider swears, you'd be pretty safe.

lawn doesn't die in this heat.
And eat more veggies and fruit every day.

As I am sitting here eating mashed potatoes and
gravy with chicken, I think I should also eat more
fruits and veggies.
Maybe tomorrow.
Or Friday.
Or during a Blue Moon..

Want a bite of coconut cream pie?

Yes bigsmile I'll trade you for this nectarine I bought right after setting my goal for the week.
