@jjtuinstra Thanks! The headache is definitely there, but very manageable so far.

@rolle haha, that's considered a very cold day here in The Netherlands.

@rolle nice. looks very cold over there

Happy New Year everyone. 🎇

@jjtuinstra

This is a typical night for me.

The highlighted part is wat Garmin calls "Stress". Since about 10-15% of the consumed caffeine in the morning still lives in the blood during the early stages of the night, I'm really curious what this could bring. I agree that there's still a lot of room of improvement here.

I should also snack less later in the evening. :-)

@mahryekuh it started at 7am here :')

@jjtuinstra Yes! My sleep is already fine. I'm also curious what it'll do to my resting heart rate (now ~50).

@jjtuinstra the science is messy, I haven't been able to find anything conclusive. You can find articles backing up the claims that it's harmless, but you can find articles highlighting health risks too.

Personally, I don't feel great on coffee. Sure, I like the feeling of being "on" and energized, but there's always this undertone of feeling rushed.

Biggest thing is that I really dislike, is being dependent on it. I feel stressed about not drinking coffee, and then I feel stressed after drinking coffee. It's a funny cycle.

Just drank my last cup of coffee. I'm not looking forward to the withdrawal, but I am for the health & sleep benefits.

Going to take out the slowcooker today for some delicious stew meat tonight for New Year's eve celebrations. The house will smell amazing for the next 9 hours.

@amd any issues with updating? I worry too much about running alpha software.

Thanks to the holiday carbs, my #running VO2Max jumped from 42 to 46 in 4 weeks. 🎅🏃‍♂️

First day back at work since the holidays. Excited for it, as I really like my job.

@mijndert nice! 💪

Enjoy your #Caturday.

@mijndert I’ll still drink Freddy’s, yes. They’re a great substitute these days.

@mijndert wasn’t that the 0,0 thing from Heineken?

@mahryekuh Thanks! I'm no stranger to the withdrawal effects. I've done it before, but eventually turned back to coffee after two months.

The weird part: I liked myself when off of caffeine, more. But I missed the feeling of being "on".

Feel free to check in with me throughout the year to see if I’m sticking to it. It'll keep me accountable.

New Year’s resolution: No alcohol or caffeine for the entire year.

Neither makes me feel great, yet I keep coming back to them. I’ve quit for short stretches before, but never beyond a couple of weeks. Time to do a hard thing, and break the cycle.
