Fragile and being comfortable and actually enjoying something is two different things you pretentious man. Why put yourself through cold water when you can simply have a lovely warm shower instead? it doesn't make you any better of a person, simply a colder one whom feels uncomfortable.

Woah, easy fella. Just having a joke - you know what you could use to bring down that blood pressure?
A cold shower.

Managed to get up and out for a 5k run at 7 which was later than planned but hey still did it. Also tried a Scottish shower and feel nice and refreshed. Not uncomfortable at all if you bring the temp down gradually. Hey I might even save on my gas bill.
This is key really. I also find it helps if you don't have temperature set too high before turning it cold.
Just wanted to add my +1 to this — thanks LiE.
I've gone from an average of 5–6 cups per day (sometimes 8+
) down to one, and my plan is to cut that out next week.I will still have a cup or two at the weekend when my wife and I make nice coffee but I would like to ditch the weekday instant stuff.

Perhaps a good way to think of drinking coffee is the same way some look at alcohol. You can treat yourself / have some on an occasion. Don't drink it habitually every day or use it as a crutch.
As evident from this thread, the majority of people start the day by taking a stimulate, it's weird to think this is normal.

I drink one coffee a day, anymore than that and i would be bouncing off the walls!
Sure but would you switch to decaf or at that point does the coffee become less enjoyable for you?
I also enjoy a hot drink in the morning during the colder months, my go to is decaf tea or peppermint tea
There are some really good decaf coffees on the market.
We have both in our house, i alternate between the 2 as i don't find much of a taste difference and i'd say i'm one of those who doesn't seem affected by caffeine much, the main factor is availability and sometimes you fancy something different any don't get the variety in decaf.
Tuesday is my session with a PT and i feel much better throughout the day after having a workout. You'd think that'd be sufficient to motivate me on other days but it isn't!
I:
- Get up
- Feel miserable about the working day
- Go and stand in the shower and turn the taps on, and brush my teeth in the shower
- Walk naked into the Livingroom where I dry myself and then proceed to get dressed / pack my panniers for work
- Slow ride down the Quay to Pret to get my morning caramel latte
- Slow ride from Pret - Chorlton via Old Trafford.
- Stand outside for 20 mins
- Get in and set my laptop up, sit, and grumble.
That doesn't feel too miserable but i'm curious about the standing outside for 20 minutes?
Got to wait to be let in.
I thought it was going to be along the lines of mustering up enough enthusiasm to go in and work
Why don't you leave 20 minutes later?

Can't do that if the puncture fairy strikes me or if they let people in sooner, need a buffer
