I have learnt that drinking too much coffee isn’t great because you grow dependent on it and need copious amounts to revert to your baseline level of functioning.

So, I try to just have 2 - at most 3 (but that happens rarely but I exert mental energy in controlling myself) - cups every day.

I had my first cup of coffee yesterday morning, as per my morning routine.

During the first period of the day, my Co-Form Teacher and I decided to have our Class Bonding Time at the Auditorium so that our charges could chill and have their breakfast and stuff like that. He plonked a cup of coffee in front of me - his treat, of course. Since I’m nice, people buy me food and drinks.

Okay enough flex. Back to coffee. It was like my reserve of self-control had crumbled like flimsy buildings during an earthquake. I drank that second cup of coffee.

And a 3rd cup during my lunch.

And a 4th cup in the evening. ARGH!

But strangely enough, I didn’t feel guilty. I felt great being naughty - even if it was for something so trivial. Bad boy vibes!

Anyway, do you guys intentionally schedule Cheat Days to give yourself a break from your health and fitness grind?
