At the beginning of the week, I bake a full pack of chicken breast, a whole tray of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, avocado, mushrooms etc and alternate weekly), and boil a whole box of rice. I cut up the chicken, mix it in a huge container with the rice, and put all the veggies in another container.…

Sometimes I look at it as making an appointment with myself. You probably wouldn't miss an appointment you made with your doctor, or perhaps a hair dresser, so why skip an appointment with the most important person: yourself! It's a promise to yourself, that's how I look at it!

Jealous! I bet it's all going to taste amaaazzzzinnnnggg. Have a safe trip and good luck!

Thanks for all the helpful advice! Like, I hate regular soda. I don't drink it in general because it's TOO SWEET. I need to get to that point with coffee! And yeah, it definitely is a media thing, so thanks for the facts. I'm really just going to have to start tapering off of all the sugar and cream. I went cold turkey…

I really love columbian so I'm going try give it a go and buy samplings of different kinds. I appreciate the feedback!

I was wondering if coconut was a good substitute because I enjoy it on it's on. I'm gonna try that, thanks for the suggestion!

That's a really great idea! I'm going to try that!

Over consumption of sugar in my coffee is my problem.

Thanks for the heads up! I just learned that the hard way, haha. Sorry for being defensive, I was just taken aback. Thanks!

Haha, so yeah, you know the coffee struggle. There's a co-op near me that sells AMAZING fresh, organic coffee beans. I'm going to pick some up because this work coffee needs all the sugar in the world to make it taste better. I'm gonna start drinking caffeinated tea when i need the afternoon pick me up. I've never drank…

I hope I can get to that point soon!!

Those are really great suggestions! Thank you so much!!!

I don't think I need to get rid of them entirely, I just know that sugar is definitely inhibiting my weight loss because of how much of it I use. Mainly in my coffee. I'm just struggling on how to cut down the sugar, I guess sweeteners is really my only choice since plain coffee to me is so gross.

It's a huge part of my life; everyone teases me when they see me drink coffee because it's pretty much just sugar and cream with a splash of coffee. I eat relatively well in every other aspect of my life. It's just that one thing I can't kick. So yeah, I think so.

I meant "they're killing me" as in, "I don't know how to get rid of them in my life because half of my day is generally spent drinking coffee with a ton of sugar." It's just so part of my routine? I guess I could try one or two in my coffee.. I'm sure in that quantity like you said it should be harmless. Thanks for the…

Yellow tail rolls and salmon sashimi! I will take the calories for that rice, I don't even care in that situation, haha.
