2024 Goals Update


July is almost halfway done and I am in my LEO and BIRTHDAY mode. I am loving so much this month but I am also going through a lot of IBS/stomach problems. So...I decided today to stop drinking coffee. WHAT? Yes...coffee is so bad for my stomach and I officially stopped drinking it today – Saturday, July 20th.


Well...I had hot tea this morning and I feel OK. For the last 3 weeks, I have had bloating, gas, stomach pains, and other IBS issues and I did some research and found coffee is a trigger for not only IBS, but also a trigger for flushing the GI tract. I sort of knew this years ago. I guess I wasn’t ready to ditch coffee. I have a lot of tea – both bags and leaves – and I like hot tea but not as much as coffee.

And...I am also ditching any supplements for the next three weeks. I am hoping to get my stomach better before my birthday. I feel fine when I don’t eat or consume IBS triggers but all of my favorite foods are triggers.


So...I am supplement-, coffee-, and IBS trigger-free until at least August 8th. Once my birthday hits, I am going to enjoy some tacos and Mexican food and then I going back on my “ditching” exercise.



Now...it is time for a little 2024 Goal Update…
