I've been waking up with the caffeine headaches before I even have the first cup done. I'm in this year but I know the first two days are going to be miserable! T-16 hours here.

Day 2 headaches continue, caffeine detox sucks. Thankful Watuary started on the weekend! Gotta stick to it, I know I'll feel great in a couple more days.

Day 5, first day without headaches. Woke up an hour earlier (5:30!) without the cat's help and was _awake_. One does not a sample size make so let's see if the trend continues. Watuary was a great idea, thanks Echi! Too shy for social media pics though, there's too much face-scraping AI bs nowadays.

Ditched the caffeine I'll see what I can do on the water front once we get some sunlight going.

Dihydrogen monoxide? Yup still going well! Had some ice cream, which was getting dangerously close to a forbidden fluid.

Watuary is already over 50% over. Time is flying this year.

Still going! Although I really miss the evening (non caffeinated) tea.

I have already started the caffeine detox a bit early this year (ugh). Rubios tea in the mornings because I love a hot drink to wake up with, but Watuary 2022 is looking good.

Caffeine addiction is fully broken. I'm still enjoying Roobios and hot cocoa this month, then nothing but water in earnest to bring in the new year. December is a nice way to get into the groove.

Maybe three or four cups a day.

I'm in. December has prepared me for this, let's go!

mod saas posted:I’ve settled on “is it intended as a meal?” as the defining question for watuary, since we got a vitamix for Christmas and I’m going to be trying smoothie versions of some breakfast fruit bowls that I’ve gotten sick of This seems reasonable. I had cereal with milk this morning and do not consider it a violation of the rules.

My mug is 1.5 standard cups, so I need at least 6 of these a day for a total of 9 cups at my size. Totally doable.

Celebrating one week of Watuary! I just need to keep consumption higher, but I feel great.

I've had 6 cups of water and it's 11 AM.

I am torn on if I'm doing year 3. I'm in for major caffeine withdrawals and those take almost two weeks. I'm not sure if I have it in me or not this year.

I've come up with a compromise for Watuary this year; I'll cut the coffee and go for _a single cup_ of plain black tea. This drops my caffeine from ~500mg / day down to around 75mg / day. That should stave off the headaches but let me bring down my tolerance. Maybe in a week I can start halving it again. I'll definitely quit the energy drinks, milk, and eggnog. Watuary.

Between 100-120oz of water today. Feels good

Still hyped on day 2. A gallon a day keeps the kidney stones at bay. Already disgusted by the thought of a Red Bull. Amazing how quick that changes.

I almost screwed up this morning. Opened the fridge out of pure habit then realized what I was about to do. Crisis averted! Today I shall drink 1 gallon of water.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:watuary is going well so far. Wish I could say the same, my tea strategy failed. The caffeine headaches have hit in earnest and nothing is stopping them now. Just gotta wait it out and drink more water. Feels like a giant vice compressing my head right behind my eyeballs.

The good news is I'm all in on Watuary now.

Been consistent with half a gallon a day. This is like 1.5 quarts more fluid than I normally drink. I don't want to push for a gallon a day right now cause I'm already craving salt and don't want to get hydrophobia or whatever it is. My kidneys are so happy right now, and today I broke the caffeine headache streak. 7 days this time, so at least I know how long a detox still takes.
