We’re both adverse to caffeine drinks past noon. Until just this month, MrsT was under a “as little you can absolutely get by with, no more!” order from her doc, but now that her two issues have been resolved (over 11 years), he’s lessened that and has cleared her for two full-caffeine cups of coffee a day.
She’s eased into that, but has found that it upsets her stomach, so she’s backed it down to two half-caff cups a day and is doing better with that.
Our normal hot drinks routine is two mugs of regular tea in the morning, the occasional decaf coffee during the day, and one mug of decaf tea at night for me, except Fridays, weekends, and holidays, then the tea is swapped out for coffee.
For her, it’s sort of flipped: two mugs of half-caff coffee in the morning, one mug of decaf coffee or tea during the day, then one mug of decaf tea at night.
On the weight front, we’ve both gone down this week. We fluctuate a bit, but we both stay between 178-183 pounds - last time we weighed, she was 178 and I was 181. Of course, this week, she been up at a work conference, with loads of unhealthy foods catered in and vendor-provided meals and all that, and these events are horrible at providing any real weight-conscious choices.
