I have thousands of resolutions... a few of them follows:

- Learning Spanish by my own (not that difficult, it's very simillar to my mother tongue);
- Stop drinking so much coffe (5 cups will be my limit);
- Lose weight (I'm 65kg now, I'd like to be 63 kg. I know, too heavy for a lady, but I'm 1.73 cm - when I was weighing less than 63, people at the office started to ask if I was going anorexic).

Hey ClarissaMach,
how much cups do you drink at the present, if 5 cups are your target? Wink

I'm not sure, but I drink about 15 cups a day.

Once I made a kind of test to take note about how much coffe I would drink along an entire day, and I found out that I was drinking almost one liter a day (900ml to be more accurate).

Sounds incredible?

Think of a person who

- drinks coffee before leaving home, at breakfast (2 cups usually);

- that by the time she gets to the office, drinks around 3 or 4 cups just in the morning;

- that drinks another cup right after lunch;

- that drinks other 3 or 4 cups along the afternoon;

- and that by the time she gets home drinks another cup right before going to bed? (yes, for coffee no longer affects my sleep...).

If for some reason I do not take coffee at all along a day (recently it happend: I left home to early in the morning, without taking breakfeast, and went to a place where there was no coffee), I get terrible headaches...

Wooow 15!!! I guessed about 8-9......but 15 Shocked

damn...so much.
No I understand that you set a limit by yourself Very Happy

In my case I mostly have a hard start into the day, if I drink no coffee in the morning. During the day (at school and even at work) I don't need badly coffee. But if I come home again I fall in tiredness if I don't drink at least 1-2 cups.

I guess you drink black coffee. Maybe you could str
