Oooh. That's what was missing.

See, I've reduced my caffeine intake to nearly zero.

The last few days I've been feeling half-asleep, logy, totally unproductive, and generally zombified.

(To give you some idea, I drank 3 cups of coffee this morning before I realized it was decaf.)

Two cups of REAL coffee and two handfuls of chocolate-covered espresso beans later, I feel much better.

Decaf?
*twitch*
Eeeew.

I envy your chocolate-covered expresso beans, though. :)

I never have understood the point of decaf.

It doesn't even taste right.

See?

THIS is why caffeine=BAD.

More likely than not you felt run down due to not eating enough / the right food.

Caffeine as a long term solution to being run down doesn't work. Eventually it stops helping, and it's also a diuretic which can cause calcium loss & weak bones (like osteoperosis) over time.

That would be my first thought. However, I've been eating really well. I have a fruit drink thing (frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, banana, protein powder, lime juice) for breakfast in the morning, usually either Chinese or a sandwitch and an apple for lunch, and various sorts of healthy low-fat things for dinner. I also drink 1-2 liters of water per day at work.

For the last month, I've reduced my caffeine intake to near zero. Today is the first time I've had coffee in *weeks*... and that's because if I didn't have caffeine, I would not be able to be productive. I'm seriously wondering what the heck is up with me.

Granted, I'm still recovering from the pneumonia I had the week before Con, but I would have thought I'd be back up to snuff now.

Been there, done that... Didn't have the espresso beans, (Love them dearly) but the Dr.Pepper worked just as well...
