Here we go, 2025 … I will be experimenting with methods to retain and imbue ENERGY to try and discover what works best with me this year … battling what’s bad for the body with what’s good for the body. At 57 years old, I have yet to become a coffee drinker … outside of a couple of times trying to drink it during my first year of College, I couldn’t stand the after-taste (and the active taste) so just spit it out. Over the years, the only coffee entering my system was via the Starbucks Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappucino and Trader Joe’s chocolate covered espresso beans. That’s it in the Coffee world for me. This year, I’m going to try to see if Coffee works for me, coming May 2025. Will I be brave enough to endure?
How have I survived 57 years without Coffee? many many other alternatives. I’ll be experimenting with them all this year as outlined below.
I survived College with the help of Coca-Cola, Jolt Cola, Ephedrine White-crosses you got at the truck stop, Vivrin Caffeine tablets, and energy drinks. After college I discovered Chai Tea and became quite the addict, especially with Starbucks Chai Creme frappucinos. Then Energy drinks entered the scene … Monster, Rock Star, Red Bull. However with that came the heart palpitations, so I had to quit.
I’ve survived many cross country road trips with 5 hour energy shot phenomena, and even tried their energy drinks (which sucked). But my heart can’t handle energy drinks. So what will work? Yerba Mate? Moringa? Green Tea? Black Tea? Mud/Wtr? Chai? Lets’ Experiment.
Here’s the plan:
- January 2025: Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappucino, Chai Creme Frappucino
- February 2025: Coke Zero, 5 Hour Energy Drinks
- March 2025: 5 Hour Energy Shots, Energy Bars, Black Tea
- April 2025: Moringa, Mud/Wtr, Black Tea
- May 2025: Yerba Mate, B-Complex, B-12, Coffee
- June 2025: Coffee, Yerba Mate, Moringa
- July 2025:
- August 2025:
- September 2025:
- October 2025:
