What a headache

I have to be careful of what I proclaim here.  A couple of weeks ago I declared I would never keep a food journal.  I am now attempting to keep a food journal.  Two days ago I claimed that there was nothing that could make me give up caffeine.  Yesterday I underwent more exercise testing at the clinic, fully caffeinated, and Chris discovered that my metabolism is resistant to burning fat (it prefers to burn carbs) and the caffeine might be a major player in that equation.  He's still crunching the numbers but it might be a clue as to my slow progress.  He would like me to get off caffeine so we can do another test next week.  Good grief.  What next? 

So.  Today.  I will reduce my caffeine intake by half and work toward being caffeine-free by next week.  We will do another test and attempt to figure out what can be done about my metabolism.  Yipee.  Can you feel the excitement?  Sorry, I can't get too excited without caffeine.  I'm not sure my heart actually beats without caffeine.  I do know when I try to go off caffeine, I get a headache that begs relief by execution.  This should be interesting.

I will be working out this morning and then going out of town for a long weekend but I will update while I'm gone.  The weekend will provide other challenges as well and I will keep you posted.
