I managed to gain a whole lot of fluff while I was running crazy miles for the five halves in five days.  I've managed to keep it on, despite working out more intensely and actually using weights. The problem is not my fitness habits.  The problem is what I'm eating:  both too much and poor choices. "Hi, I'm MCM Mama and I'm addicted to bread." There.  Now you know.  While I'm also a big fan of chocolate (and the chocolate stout cake I made this weekend rocked.my.socks.off), bread is the food I have no self control around.

I have been averaging a book a day on my iphone.  Unfortunately, the amount I read is inversely proportional to the amount I sleep.  I'm tired.  For those who asked, I use the Overdrive epub app since that's what my library uses.  I figure if I run out of books from the library, I'll download the kindle app and peruse the free/cheap books on kindle.  I'm too cheap to buy ebooks.  Also, the small screen doesn't bother me at all.  The words are a decent size, you just have to "turn the page" frequently.  And I can read in pretty much any … [Read more...]

Coffee with a side of rain

Coffee with a side of rain

Apparently I only write coffee posts when I’m in Michigan. I guess my body is hard wired to wake up early, but the college kid has no interest in an early wakeup call. I’d run, but it’s raining and I did not bring the right running clothes, so here I sit. I’m joining Deb and […]
