Coffee, Tea, Coffee Combo

The first step to gaining my love for coffee began by ending an addiction to drinking Mountain Dew every day. It was out of hand - I used to keep a 12 pack in my car, and I would drink a can every day on my way to work. I did eventually stop doing this, and some time later I was at work feeling tired (at this point I had a third child, whom was a baby at the time). There was free coffee in the office, and on a whim I tried it and loved it. I like coffee black, so it was healthier than Mountain Dew. Years later when I began teaching, I would make a pot of coffee and drink the whole thing throughout the day. I began getting terrible headaches, and once I cut the coffee from 1 pot a day to 2 cups a day, the headaches were done. I still wanted a caffeine fix in the middle of the day, and that's where green tea came into play. I began drinking green tea from a recommendation on a diet plan I was following. It was an acquired taste, but once I got used to it, the tea did the trick of giving me a boost to get through the rest of the work day. I need to get back on a diet, but I have been enjoying pizzas and cheeseburgers too much lately. But when I am taking better care of myself, a cup of black coffee in the morning, a cup of green tea in the afternoon, and one more cup of black coffee in the evening are all decent choices for a caffeine fix. I'm thinking in a week or so it is time to make some healthier life choices, including getting consistent on the coffee, tea, coffee combo for the extent of my daily caffeine intake....
