today's question: give up the coffee? it's funny...i was never a coffee drinker...well, except when i used to dunk my cookies in my pa's afternoon coffee. i've only really been hooked on the stuff for maybe 2 years. and even now, it has to be cleverly disguised with a myriad of overly sugared ingredients, my favorites being international delight's heath and almond joy, as well as belgian chocolate toffee by coffeemate. that stuff should be illegal... so therein lies the problem - not only am i consuming daily caffeine, but i'm adding gooey sugar to the mix as well.
honestly, i don't believe i'm going to give it up at this time. i actually look forward to that cup in the morning. i AM however, trying to cut back on the creamer. i used to just pour it in at will, who knows how much was going in! i'm down to 3 measured TBSP now which equals about 105 calories.
i read somewhere - maybe on livestrong (liestrong) that a cup of coffee a day was good for you and helped prevent cancer? but then, there's always something that will prevent cancer while at the same time kill you in a different way.
i KNOW i should have a good and balanced breakfast instead. i do know this....but for now, i'm flying in the face of defiance because this works for me. and until i can throw my training wheels off on this journey, i need to go with that.
*thank you to my baby bird who gave me the anthropologie owl mug for christmas!
