Several observations from trying to rid my diet of caffeine (and less sugar):

• I get tired quicker at night (a good thing).
• It’s a little more difficult to wake up in the morning (not-so-good).
• Once the day gets going, I feel better than usual (more energetic).
• For the time being, my general moodiness is more apparent. I didn’t expect caffeine, or lack thereof, to affect my mood, but it has.
• I’ve had a headache each of the last four days.

I’m still a big fan of Vitamin Water as a substitute. In the cases I haven’t been able to have VW, Sobe Life Water has been another good substitute. I have, however, had at least one soft drink each of the last four or five days as I try to ween myself off of them. I may be brave today and not have one at all. We’ll see…
