A cup of mudd


Here's how I start my day. Get up, start the coffee, feed the cats.....
Gotta have that coffee! My typical morning includes 2 mugs like this. Why does is look like mud? It's that creamer! So I'm trying to be healthy, and I'm buying the generic fat-free half & half. What's the deal with it? I can never get my coffee to that light, creamy color and taste no matter how much cream I instill. O.k. o.k., I know, it's the fat content that I'm missing. Well, not really, I already have enough of that around my mid-section, that's why I'm buying the fat-free version!
And I've tried those "others"; fat-free french vanilla, Irish cream, etc. Yeah, they taste real good and give me the false sense of fullness, and have me speeding around my house like I'm on drugs or something, until my blood sugar crashes and I feel sick.
Why not try a weaker strength coffee you ask? Does this mean anything to you?

Alright, I have to admit, I'd given up this brand, due to cost. But, I'VE GOT TO HAVE MY CAFFEINE IN THE MORNING!
I don't like instant, I don't like generic brands. I've tried flavored brands. My current coffee of choice is Seattle's Best, Henry's blend. OK., so I'm partial to the picture of the cat on the label. It does pack the punch I require everyday. I'm just now looking at the label: it says, "balanced". Hmmm,,,,do you think it's sending me a message?
Until I solve this riddle, I'll be happily content with my "cup of mudd".

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes

Post July 4th workout and update

I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .
