TWO THUMBS UP for me today! =D
I decided to try something different in place of a latte. While home for lunch I kept thinking that a latte sounded like a good idea to get on the way back to work. But then I reminded myself that if I did get one, 1) It wouldn't REALLY give me any satisfaction once I drank it, 2) It wouldn't really 'wake me up', but most likely give me a sugar crash instead.
SO! I had a light light bulb moment. I decided to swing by our local health food store, which is on the way back to work in a round about way, and check out their freshly made drinks. I told the girl I was looking for a drink that would help my brain wake up. She suggested a shot of wheatgrass. So, I tried it. Oddly, it didn't taste too bad. I'm still waiting to see if I 'feel' any different from it. Although, I have noticed I'm not feeling sluggish and sleepy like I did before I went to lunch.
Anyway, just felt proud of myself for thinking of an alternative since I struggle often with latte cravings.

Good for you for thinking it through rather than acting out of old habits! :)

Did you ever try those Americanos with SF flavorings I told you about? Its a guiltless way to have your espresso. It's the only Starbucks drink I can have these days, other than tea. It's very strong with espresso flavor, but it will get you that caffeine bump without the calories or guilt. (AND it's half the cost of those fancy drinks!)

Our little coffee shop (not Starbucks) also has the Americano and I had one today with sugar free carmel flavoring on ice since it is a hot day here. yummy and guilt free

WHEATGRASS! Great job on putting some variation into your routine! I always love browsing the aisles of the health food shop in my neighborhood. Nice to see your good thoughtful way to beat a bad habit!
