In my efforts to a) be a good mom to my little man and b) try to be good to my body as I attempt to get it back I have decided to continue to watch my caffeine intake, as I did when I was pregnant. Sounds easy right? Yesterday I attempted to cut out the caffeine next to one cup at around 3 pm, what a mistake that was. It felt like I was hit by a truck. All afternoon and evening it felt as though I was walking around in some sort of haze, and not a good haze either more like a comatose haze. The evening was the worst - I was so bagged that I could not keep my eyes open when I was trying to feed him. It literally felt as though someone had slipped me an oxycotin and if I was drooling I would not even know. And on top of it the sleep I got was not restful and gave me a headache this morning - which I hate - the wake up headache.
I have now adapted the mindset to consume as much caffeine as I need to. I was doing it before, my baby is sleeping well and I could function - and obviously I cannot without it. Bring on the double espressos people.
