Joy In The Journey

Never, never, never did I ever believe I would drink decaf coffee! I have had an inherent resistance to it, with a why bother attitude. Although I always kept some in the house because my sister drinks it and I like to have it for when she visits, I would never even consider drinking it, even if I was out of coffee 🍮. I used to think, decaf? What was the point? Anyone else with me there? Anyone who knows me knows that I am a double espresso caffe nero bollente girl! ☕️ Yes, there is actually an Italian song about boiling hot black coffee! But since the ultimate reset I have had to slowly bring coffee back in to my life after having not had it for several months. As they suggest, I have been gradually bringing it back in, been drinking more herbal teas and when I have coffee, which has not been daily, I have been making it with a 50/50 combination of regular and decaf and often making it with 75% decaf....and who knew, I LIKE IT!

#IamTeamBeachbody Life is so precious and far too short! I want to live it fully, freely, faithfully and boldly. I have spent a lot of time thinking that was what I was doing but a glance back a few years reminds me that I was actually doing just the opposite. I was captive in my overweight and out of shape body. And as much as I wanted to do something about it, I could never muster up the courage, the strength, the determination or even the motivation to do anything. And if I did manage to muster the motivation, I could never stick with it long enough to get a result because I got caught up in one excuse or another. I never had the time, I was always saying, it might work for you but it will never work for me, I was always too tired, too busy, too broke, too sick, too uncoordinated, too this, and too that, you name it and I could find an excuse to fit it.
