Hmmmm, gave up my junk food, gave up my drugs and alcohol, getting ready to give up my nasty cigarettes on Dec 2nd, working hard at the gym 5-8 times a week and now I have to give up my coffee too???

OK, maybe that wasn't technically feasible, but there is no way I will give up my morning java!

I especially agree with Java Starbuck (who made me laugh so hard I fell out of my chair hahaha) Weigh the pros and cons, even if it is true, I'm willing to work a little harder at the gym and keep my coffee thank you very much.

I haven't seen an ab pop out on me since about Highschool..Thought I saw one today when I was drying off my back, but it must have been an illusion, cause no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to pop out again...My son did ask if I was ok, and that he was kinda concerned about me...Guess I kinda looked funny from behind..

That is the coffee I crave and yes I can see that it would add fat to my body if I drank it very often. I think the medium size has like 600 calories and no nutritional value! -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Usually cause she can't hear what I'm saying or see who I'm talking to. Boy is she suprised when she finds that no one is around. Humor is a great thing, and to share it with someone is even better.Heck, just the other day I was standing in front of the mirror completely in the buff. I said; will you look at that; I haven't seen that for about a year now. Damn! that suckers starting to get a little definition, but yet it seems to be bulking up. Damn! Well, after the second damn, my wife walked in and asked what I was talking about. I said, look at that sucker; it seems to be getting bigger but yet define..I haven't seen that on me for about a year. She grabs IT, and states, "I don't really see or feel a difference, well maybe it is". I said, "dear: let go of the damn thing; I was talking about my quad in my right leg"... Humor is a great thing, and her and I are still laughing about that one.... Have a good one!
