Today’s challenge is to give up my favourite drink for a day. Since I’m sure the authors don’t intend for anyone to stop drinking water I have nominated my favourite drink to be coffee.
I must admit that first thing this morning I forgot and had actually made a cup of coffee but I remembered before I drank any and duly poured it down the sink. So far, so good. I haven’t had the withdrawal headache I had last time I gave up caffeine but that could be because I have already toned down my intake from major to weak instant coffee-more like warm, milky water than anything which should be graced with the title of coffee.
The other challenge for this week is to tackle two activities that I wouldn’t normally do from a list of about twenty.Last night I had the opportunity to complete half of that task. I chose the attend a public meeting option, in this instance the Venturers planning committee report. I chose this particular meeting partly because my daughter is involved with the group but partly because it is a relatively small group and I knew that sitting quietly in the background would not be an option. And I was right, I was expected to contribute and pulled it off quite nicely managing to contribute to a debate on graffiti, a trivia quiz and make small talk with strangers. It was a definite step outside of my comfort zone (and let’s be honest, my interest zone). I’m not sure how it’s going to help with weight loss-perhaps a meeting with less biscuits would have been better there-but if I’m going to follow the plan, then the plan I will follow.
