Why Can’t I Have My Vices?
Fifteen minute breaks… ahhh thank you teamsters, or whatever nickname you union people from the 1900’s want to be called by. I may not always agree with unions (mostly the obligated joining of them), but I grant that they have done some good work from time to time.
I’m taking this break to write, while in mild amounts of agony, about coffee… and all vices actually. Mostly… why is my stomach growling at me after having a small cup of coffee. (To be fair, I had a small cup of coffee earlier, making this the second cup.)
I have been eating fairly alright for the last week, and in general I’ve been doing alright. I’ve cut back on running, but I use a punching bag fairly regularly now. In other words, I’m maintaining and keeping my health relatively up.
So why can’t I have my coffee? Or ice cream? Or whatever food-vice I choose to have? I’m only 26! (though not for long…) It looks like I’m gonna have to give up coffee if it keeps doing weird things to my GI tract (not that it really has, other than odd stomach grumblings).
On the plus side, I made a smoothie last night that actually didn’t taste like death in a blender. I will have to continue trying that.
Hey, coffee gives my tummy the gurgles too. Just have something to eat when you drink it… something carb-a-liscious usually soaks up the acids pretty well (thus the old coffee and a donut combo, although I find a piece of toast or some cereal works just as well as a fatty package of goodness).
