Good Monday morning everyone!
Recovered after the weekend madness? I have. Having the AM coffee yet? Will have decaf and black very soon..
Looking forward to the warm-up later this week. Hope the bike shop will get my bike done real fast so I can get out and ride.
QOTD-Are you a "snob" for anything-eg.-specific brand of something or specific show, team, etc? I am a peanut butter "snob" I can only eat Koezee's-it is the best ever.. I am somewhat of a coffee snob, too. Really like Starbucks, but also like Water Street (local Kalamazoo spot).
Well, have a good one!

Good morning! Where did the weekend go? I am having a cup of decaff before I have to get  ready for work this morning.  This week will be very busy for me.

QOTD- Yes I am a coffee "snob" I only use Timothy's k cups for my keurig coffee maker

Morning Michigan friends:
I don't post here much, but read everyday.  It's going to be a beautiful week with sun and warmer temps -- hoping to get outside to do a bit of cleanup in my gardens and yard.

I only like Jif peanut butter - can't say I've ever seen your brand around here.   Some store brands are okay, but I still have my favs.

I'm having decaf green tea this morning ... kinda got away from it and I feel so much better when I drink it instead of coffee.

Have a marvelous Monday,
pat r.

Good morning everyone!

Just got to work and the parking lot is empty!! Spring break for the Midland schools so I suppose many people are out of town.  Drinking a big mug of regular coffee with SF vanilla caramel creamer & Splenda.  I can't wait for the middle of the week when it's going to hit the  70's!!  And I"m hoping and praying this is the week we'll here on my daughter's approval.  She talked to the insurnace people on Friday and they said 'legally they have until the 11th' She's a nervouse wreck (as am I) waiting day after day to hear if she's been approved.

QOTD:  I guess I'm a 'snob' about my Carbmaster yogurt.  And I only buy Jif peanut butter, but now you have me curious Deb - I want to try Koezee's!!  Do you get it at the grocery store? 

Have a great day everyone!!

Hi Nan,
Koezee's is not easy to find in a Grocery store. I can only find it in two stores in Kalamazoo. You can order it online on their website for not much more than what it costs in the store. I'm sure if you did a Google search, it will get you to their website. It is a candy/nut store (s) in Grand Rapids and it is sold all over GR. Zingerman's in Ann Arbor sells it.
Once you eat Koezee's, you can't go back to Jif as it is SO much better....

Thanks Deb!  I'll have to stop by Zingerman's in Ann Arbor.  I go past there all the time when I'm at Steve's (he lives in Chelsea).  I'm going to get myself some!!

I have been pushing myself to workout everyday and Im feeling like... these endorphins are preventing me from sleeping...and IM always hyper so man Im going to skip the coffee....

My new current problem is that im starving to death... at least my body thinks it is!  I wish I knew what was going on. IM eating plenty...maybe even too much and now having to get up and eat in the middle of the night?  ugh  IM making good choices but still. my stomach growling is taking me over!

Jess-  I know exactly what you are talking about my hubby and I joke about when that happens it's the hunger beast. I notice the more diet pop I drink the more hungry I am it's terrible. Also if I eat carbs I increase my hunger. Dont' know your diet but hang in there!

Jess it could be a low blood sugar thing.

since you have restricted your intake.

diabetics get this often, and that is a sign of diabetes too. when the blood sugar is low the body craves food and you eat raising the blood sugar and satisfying the hunger, then the vicious circle happens cause you satisfied the HUNGER, the Blood sugar raises, then when the sugar levels drop to a good range the body reacts by casing hunger, over and over again.

Try to spread your meals out evenly through out a the day. make it a rule not to eat after 7p.m  . If you do wake up in the middle of the night, try something simple like a small bowl of oat meal, No sugar, a few carrots or a couple of 1 inch chunks of chicken or cheese.
You need to train your body to accept the new you.
and no sugar or fast carbs.

"When we stop running away from the situation that is scary - that is the moment we discover how strong we really are. So, acknowledge your strength...rejoice in it...and start breathing in life, as the beautiful, strong soul (being) that you truly are." - Rachna Sirtaj.......Love & Peace
