Cathy: Once again, my "wake-up call" is the same thing as my "go back to sleep" call. Then: Three 6-ounce cups of coffee a day with a few drops of cream. Total: 20 calories. Now: Six 20-ounce cups of coffee a day with half a cup of non-fat creamer in each. Total: 900 calories. To burn off the extra 880 calories a day from my fat-free coffee, I would have to walk 14 miles each morning.
Thank goodness I don’t drink coffee. While I like the smell of it, I don’t like the taste of it — even with additional additives like sugar or creamer to make it less bitter. As for tea, I really love the stuff but I try to stay away from it. I can’t drink it unsweetened and because I seem to have trouble stopping at just one glass, the only way to avoid packing on a few too many extra pounds [like I’ve done in the past] is to avoid drinking it all together.
Hi, rgcviper!
Hello and Happy Thursday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Freezing my rear-end off here in southern Indiana today. Weather.com says it’s 31° but feels like 21°. Apparently, someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that it’s November here . . . not January! Pretty depressing considering the temps were in the mid-60’s just a couple of days ago. :-(
