Am I hooked on caffeine? Am I satisfying some morning and afternoon void with coffee? When I feel that lack of energy coming on, like a rush of anti-movement crushing through my inner... filling, is coffee the answer? When it's cold outside and I want to warm up a bit, should I be doing jumping-jacks (with my boys) rather than sipping this hot concoction?
I had just gotten through shaking and moving my body (aka "working out") and about the last thing it wanted to do was sit and sip coffee. After the workout, it was almost like my body found the very thought of a hot stimulant to be the most repugnant thing. Geez, makes me wonder who or what is in control of this fine physical structure...
And in the morning when I awoke... before I took off for the Y, what I craved was a glass of water, because if I downed a cup of coffee before taking off, my throat seemed to dry out as I was worked out... like the ounces of hydration were vacuumed to some lost cause, probably my bladder.
It's probably all in my head. The whole anti-movement feeling, the dry throat from coffee, stopping the biking to the Y at 6 in the morning because it was dark, getting frigid, and by the time I arrived at the Y, some dynamic duo was already using the two rowing machines thing...
Ah, how momentum affects me....
I'm also finding that sometimes when I could be drinking a glass of water, I find myself drinking coffee instead - which probably doesn't assist the overall hydration issue.
Perhaps I should give up coffee for Lent? (if this happens, I may need a weekend in a dark room with aspirin, and three wise men: Obi Wan (oops Jedi) - Frodo (oops hobit) and Jack Sparrow (oops... pirate?).
Doubt the wife would allow that, though the kids may think it's kinda cool.
Does anyone else have this problem?
