Kind of....
So I've been thinking about this for the last two months and I'm really going to push forward. I am NOT calling this a New Year's Resolution because it's not. It's more like a lesson in discipline.
A friend often refers to herself as the "least disciplined person I know." I've contemplated her statement several times and wondered how disciplined I am. And the answer was not a positive as I'd hoped. I am disciplined in certain areas of my life, but when it comes to coffee, especially Starbucks coffee, I am so undisciplined it is not even funny.
Over the past year, I have often used a "bad day" as an excuse to get a coffee. My definition of a bad day varied widely. So what it really came down to is that I wanted a coffee and I found any excuse to get one. My bank account can't afford my "bad days" anymore.
Now the reason I am saying "kind of" is that I am allowing for a few exceptions. For example, when we go out of town, we often get a coffee on the way out. This is allowable. Or if Ryan and I go on a date and end up talking over coffee, that is allowed also. But by and large, I will not be stopping by Starbucks as part of my weekly routine (I used to stop every Thursday before Moms group).
I am committed to becoming a more disciplined person and the only way to start is to give up the hardest habit I have.
See ya later, Starbucks.
