Wednesday Coffee etc.
I know I'm not the first one up, but I'm the first to post I guess.
How are y'all today? It's soggy here in Metro Detroit. That's ok, it will help the flowers and other nature-y junk that you guys like so much. LOL
My QOTD is: Are you where you thought you would be at this stage of your life?
Answer: Nope, I'm not, but that's ok. I'm working on it!
Have a good day!!
I was up earlier, but am doing early AM work-outs and I just got back... I am a little sore from yesterday. Can't wait to get my coffee brewing.
QOTD-I am where I want to be at this stage of my life (better in a lot of ways- healthier) except with my job. Being "under-employed" is really stressful. But, I keep positive that the business will start to pick up, soon, so I can start working more. In the meantime, I'm able to get caught up on projects and do things I haven't been able to do in years.
Have a good day!

I'm hoping it continues to rain today - means the kids' softball/baseball practices will be delayed/cancelled (I'm a terrible mom - but the every day practices at 5 (i.e., half an hour BEFORE I get home from work) are killing me!).
QOTD - I'm about where I thought I'd be. Although, I have a BIG bday (40) coming up this summer and I never thought I'd be there!! :)

Am I where I thougth I would be? Somedays, yes. Somedays, no. When I was 18 and thinking about being 39, I figured hubby would just be retiring from the Army...our kids would be in high school. Here I am, in reality, at 39 about to HAVE our 1st one!! So, yeah, that's a bit different! LOL! But as far as "life" goes, it's pretty much how I pictured it would be. Me and hubby, living happily ever after, close to our families, successful employment, etc. etc. I am a very laid back person, though and just take life as it comes and deal with it that way! I don't get hung up on how I think things should be. I roll with the punches and make the best of life!! Man, I'm feeling POSITIVE AS HELL TODAY! LOL!
Enjoy the day! Make the most of it! Tina

I've switched to decaf (tea and coffee) and I'm not enjoying the transition very much. My morning vanilla creme coffee was so smooth and satisifying ... but this decaf is slightly bitter and not very delicious. But I'm committed to giving it a try for a month to see if it makes a difference in the scale -- as some have suggested. We'll see if I last that long or just give in to temptation and go back to my creamy yumminess instead.
QOTD -- Nope. Not even close. But I'm happy where I am and don't regret the road I've traveled to get here.
My Recipe Index is packed full of yumminess!

I've been at a 2 month stall too. I just realized our stats are as identical as they can be w/o us being twins!!
My surg was 11-15-07, my starting wgt was 302, and I've been stuck at 192 for over 2 months!
My biggest problem is if the caffeine thing works out for you, I'm screwed. I drink one iced tea a day....that's it in the caffeine department

WoW!! We are twins!
I had someone post a comment on my blog last week when I was whining about my plateau that I should cut out all caffeine. And when I thought about how much I was really drinking -- I figured it might be worth a shot. I do about 16oz of coffee in the morning and usually two protein chai teas a day... so another 16oz. I've switched to decaf for both as of this week. I don't notice it at all with the chai tea, but I definitely notice the coffee. We'll see if it works.
And one more twin-like thing. You live in Clarkston and I work in Waterford... so we're practically neighbors too. hehehe

Where in Waterford do you work? We should meet for dinner some day that you don't have to rush off back home. Meet my twin face to face. I know you have a long truck back home everyday, just let me know.
