The Starbucks Diet

This is going to be a ramble but bear with me:

I'm reading Moby Dick for my Hawthorne/Melville Lecture and I come across the character Starbuck. I remember the Food Network (basically, the porn channel now) show where I learned that Starbucks Coffee took their name from the book and it was actually going to be called Stubbs' Coffee.

So, in that track of mind I remember that it's been far too long since I last spoiled myself with some coffee and since I have a few bucks in my pocket I stopped in this morning. My "usual" tall mocha frapachino has sooo many calories, I checked the calories of the non-fat, still too many. Looked over the tea menu and remembered how delicious their green tea is. Not to mention how awesome it is for your skin. And don't you know it's my lucky day? They ran out of sweetener so I tried the tea unsweetend and it's still good. Got that peppery minty taste. yum. I'll never have to get it sweetend again. Happy Breakfast. Happy 3 day Weekend!

:D

Last Night recap:
Went to football, probably burned 100+ calories just freaking out at his grandmother's driving. His dad brought roasted turkey sandwiches, no sauce, just turkey and bread so I didn't have to splurge down BBQ or anything horrendous. And though my head was pounding, I turned down the Beck's for a bottle of water.

Still felt guilty when I got home so I exercised for about an hour on my big yellow yoga ball and watched some cartoons. Went to bed feeling sore and fullfilled.

No Pain. No Loss.

  1. I hate to say it, but Starbucks is the one thing I need to have. But if I don't have whip, it cuts 100 calories. And the coffee also curbs my appetite and works like a lax!
