    Morning! I have yet to put any kind of liquor into my coffee or tea, I wonder how that would taste? Also doesn't liquor have calories?

    Happy Friday!!!!
    I keep having bizarre dreams. Last was about a skating competition and needing to withdraw. Kinda like life but different

    Have a super awesome day

    Good morning, all!

    It's Friday, it's Friday...and it's sunny here. Although it will be hot and humid today and tomorrow and might storm tomorrow night. I'll take hot and humid over cold and rainy any day, though!

    Oh, and I bought some new coffee to try this weekend! I've been enjoying cold brewed coffee on the weekends, but it just seems ridiculously expensive. So I'm going to try my hand at it (hopefully, I'll remember tonight). Wish me luck!

    Right. I get it. There comes a time when you just have to DO IT!
    Now if I could put the potato chips and wine down, I’d be doing it too😜
    Good luck and welcome!!!

    Sorry...make cold-brew coffee. Last time I tried it, it turned out "meh" at best. It required LOTS of milk to be drink-able. And this coming from someone who drinks her coffee black...

    Happy Friday! We finally got a break in the rain so today’s exercise is mowing the lawn before the damn rain comes back. 🤪

    That sounds yummy! I missed lunch today so that isn't helping anything.

    I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard of cold-pressed coffee. I feel so uneducated! What is it? Going to google.....very curious!!

    Basically, you take coarse ground coffee and let it steep in cold water for 12-24 hours. I usually use a french press and leave it in the refrigerator. It's supposed to be less acidic and smoother than normally-brewed coffee. I tend to drink a lot of hot coffee at during the week (at work), but never seem to finish a cup at home on the weekends (too many distractions, kids, etc.). Iced coffee has never tasted "right" to me, but I'm good with cold-brew. I can normally drink cold-brew black or with a splash of milk. I've also been known to use it instead of water if I need a protein shake.

    So my family forgot to get me a birthday cake for my birthday which was Sunday. A friend dropped by some cookies she had made so that I got something especially made for me and I bought myself a cake finally at the grocery store. It's belated but still counts

    Technically we're all living longer and at 46 years old I don't think I'm middle aged for at least another four years :wink:
    I've just ended a four month stint on Noom, dropping from 13 stone 4 in January to 10 stone 6.4 today. I need to get back into krav maga and kettle bells so that I can keep the weight off. I would love to find others seeking to motivate and be motivated to increase activity. I have, judging by the combat trousers I've chosen to try and fit before going into weight maintenance mode, another 4 pounds to lose. But I'm oh so weary of the calorie restriction!!
