I like a medium roast. I grind just enough beans and either use a French press or stove top percolator. I had a pinch of salt before brewing because Alton Brown said to and he is my kitchen god.

I want to continue being the hot mom. Seriously. It feels good to be mistaken as my teenagers older sister. I have never veered past a healthy weight but was getting close to the upper BMI for my height. That and I like being able to say I can still fit my old uniforms.

Rice with beans. Throw some salsa on top with a fried egg and some cheese. We eat a lot of brown rice so usually have some in the fridge.

I’m 6’ with a goal weight of 150. I started at 178 which isn’t overweight for my height, but my clothes were getting tight and I was not going to buy a new wardrobe due to something I can control. 150 is where I was when I felt my best.

I’m 6’ and at 160 am not out of my healthy range. I’m working on losing weight because I’m above the where I personally think that I look and feel my best. There’s nothing wrong with lowering weight just to feel better about how you look in clothes. Assuming you’re doing it in a healthy manner, it’s completely legitimate.

I’ve kept my hair short for years with the occasional grow out to donate it. I have an angular face and love that short hair highlights it. I’m also more likely to wear bold statement jewelry, dresses, or makeup with short hair because I feel more confident in myself.
