Day 1 - The Layout And First Sip


Well it is September 1st and today is the day I start my first of many 30 day challenges. Anyone who has discussed this with me recently knows that I’ve decided to undertake the challenge of drinking a coffee everyday for 30 days.

This may not seem like anything to some people, however I’ve never had a cup of coffee, and what I’ve tried I’ve really hated. The purpose is to see how the ‘coffee lifestyle’ is and how coffee does affect a student. It isn’t to hard to accomplish but it will also give me a clear idea of the time commitment for a project like this and how far I can take it in the future.

It is day one and I’ve yet to have my first coffee, it is actually sitting on this desk, quite cold because I’ve been putting it off. I got a double double because when she asked me what I wanted I couldn’t think of anything else. I would have a picture of this occasion however my computer still does not have internet so I am chained to the schools laptops. I will update it with some pictures I have been taking of my first trip.

Ok first sip…

I won’t lie it wasn’t as terrible as I was making out to be, but there is a lot of sugar and it will be a struggle to get through a large. I don’t know how people could drink more then one of these a day, it seems very strong and bitter to me. I think it will take me a day nursing this, I guess that’s what you get on day 1.

I will also lay out the rules I have set for myself so I stick to the plan and get the full coffee drinkers experience:

-I must have one cup of coffee everyday for the next 30 days
-A cup of coffee is defined as a ‘large’, so wherever I order from I must ask for a large
-I have to drink from 3 different chains of stores and make my own coffee at one point

Those seem pretty good and reasonable for the next 30 days. Also I will post in intervals of 5 days so I will actually have something to write about, and the posts will not have the date just the day which I am currently on. Any posts with the typical date will not be related to this challenge.

I will also be keeping statistics at the bottom of each post, if you wish to add anything to the list just leave it in the comments.

Statistics:
Days Completed: 0
Cups Of Coffee Consumed: 0
Amount Of Money Spent: 0
Favorite Kind:

    i can't see it being that big of a deal, because i don't see myself enjoying it enough to over take my addiction to tea

    i am more afraid it will effect my sleep, thats why i will try to take it at the start of the day when i can

    i want to try a bunch of different drinks, but after the 30 days a week later i will do a recap post

    after dropping my change on a coffee, i started to think how much it will cost, and i have a feeling it will end up being a lot more then i think... or its worth top
