Kim, those are pretty awesome meals for a hotel room! Much better than a syrupy waffle. Kris, that's an Aeropress coffee maker. It's a super simple coffee maker that get's rid of all the negatives of a drip pot. It lets you control everything. The "bitter" that everyone complains about in black coffee is some kind of acid…

Thanks, Heron! I'm not saying a taco bus can't be healthy, it's just the image that comes to mind when I hear "taco bus" is that of a faded old ice cream van that you can still see where they painted over the ice cream stickers. Then, when you get your food, they just slop some funky looking meat next to a tortilla and…

I had the exact same thing for lunch and dinner, so I'm just using one pic.

Jaunt Counter: Jan 1 - 1mi (outside) Jan 2 - 2mi (outside) Jan 3 - 2mi (ouside) Jan 4 - Jan 5 - 3mi (2 outside, 1 inside) Jan 6 - 1mi (inside) Total: 9 miles

That's awesome! I just tried it, and it's way faster to just use the shortcut on my home screen, though.

Keep it up, Howie!

Here's a video, for anyone that wants to see how it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMumOA4H5y4

Okay, here's a pic of it next to a 16oz water bottle. A good bit wider, but much shorter.

John, they aren't THAT large. Probably about the size of a 20oz bottle. Maybe a little larger around. There's even a cap that you can buy that allows you to store your grounds in the plunger part, so you don't need a separate container for coffee. It would probably hold enough for 2 or 3 cups, depending on how strong you…

Hey, you got to double digits!

John, what the heck is a bubble hat?

I honestly don't know, but it seems like I've woken up the second the alarm starts going off, these last few days. And it's a good wake. As in, I could just get right out of bed.

I forgot to take a picture of my lunch again! It was another serving of my chicken Cattiatore. I also had some black coffee, earlier.

Carol, by spag squash always gets mushy. Kevin, I really like to steam butternut and acorn squash. Those taste pretty dang good. I'll just steam them with some salt, pepper, and chop a few onions. You could also try roasting some veggies. I've done green beans and asparagus, but I bet you could do a lot. You just coat them…

I tried to track my path in the mall at work, but it didn't work. The Run Keeper app says that you need a clear view of the sky for it to work.

Oh, I see... No one wants to call John out for calling low 30s "cold"! Cynthia, that sounds like a good goal. I'm going to start the same goal! Thanks for giving me the idea. I'm going to start my on chart for Jen's Jaunt, so I can keep up with it a little better. Jan 1 - 1mi (outside) Jan 2 - 2mi (outside) Jan 3 - 2mi…

Kris, that's a good idea to have it tracked like that. That way you can easily see it. I think I'll start doing it on my timeline.

Mark, sorry for your loss. Jen, good job on not hitting the vending machine! I really like macadamia nuts for a quick hunger-beater. You have to be careful, though. They're super fatty and caloric, so you don't want to "just eat a handful" and end up finishing the bag. Cynthia, what is this "pushup gong" I've seen you…

This was pretty funny. I opened today's Whole30 newsletter, and it was about dreams! Very timely! Here's the excerpt: Food Dreams "We’ve heard of folks dreaming about all kinds of foods – sometimes things they don’t even eat in real life! Like an Arby’s roast beef melt... Melissa dreamed about this fast-food fare during…

Wow, -17*! That's a little nuts! What the heck do you wear when it's that cold?!?!

Keep your head up and push through! I forgot, are you doing the Whole 30 with us? If not, are you starting something new?

I have always been able to remember large chunks of my most vivid dreams. The weird part is trying to figure out when transitions were. Like, I couldn't even begin to tell you why the cafeteria was suddenly inside a Wal Mart, or when the slasher-film type scenario started. Last night was MUCH better, though. I got a really…

Forgot to snap a pic of my lunch, but it was the same as Jan 2, minus the cashews.

Oh, and by the way, I'm still a "twenty-something".

Haha, you just wait until February when the real cold kicks in, in the (high) 20s. I just did another mile at lunch. That makes 8 miles for me! Depending on how the evening goes, I might get another in, when I get home. I'm really liking this. Thanks, Jen!!

I got out and did 2 miles, this morning. It was a balmy (as Kim and Jen pointed out) 33* with a "Feels Like" of 29*. It's a big stepping stone, for me, as I'm not a morning person, and I was out and back in before the sun came up! That makes 7 miles for January. Carol, let me know how you like the dressing! In 30 days, you…
