Black Coffee

The tornado I talked about last night missed my house by 15-20 miles, so I'm safe, but a lot of other towns were destroyed :(  My heart goes out to those affected by this awful storm.

Today was the second day in a row I drank my coffee black. I used to put in fat free creamer and Splenda. About six months ago, I weened myself off the sweetener, and over the past week I have used less and less cream until I used none. Finally, I can drink coffee with no calories!

While looking through my room for a missing article of clothing, I found a pair of summer pants I loved to wear in high school. I tried them on. I couldn't button them. When I can fit into them again, I know I'll be skinny enough. I'm thinking just 10 pounds down and they'll look good!

I've added a couple tabs to the top of my page - I'll keep track of my weight and food intake on a separate tab, and I also put in a tab of the eating rules I follow. Let me know what you think!

  1. I can totally relate to giving up sugary coffee. I was the worst with it until like a year ago when I started to just have it black! You still get a caffeine boost without the added sugar or fat, It's awesome!
    Good luck with getting into those shorts, I'm certain you can do it!
    Oh, and those tabs are pretty nifty I must say, It's an ingenious idea!

  2. I'm very glad that you're safe! I hope those affected by the storm are safe. Congrats on being able to drink coffee black! I'm sure you'll be able to fit into those pants very soon. I like the new tabs! :)

    I hear you on the fitting into older clothing. 10 pounds is what's standing between me and all my summer shorts :(

  5. Hello,

    My name is Daphna Yeshua-Katz and I am a graduate student in the Department of Telecommunications at Indiana University.

I am very interested in learning about your motivations for publishing your blog, as well as the benefits the blog may provide to both you and your readers.

However, if you don’t feel comfortable with either of these approaches, I would be happy to send my questions to you via email. I can schedule the interview at convenient day and time for you. Whichever method you choose, please know that your identity will be kept anonymous and your answers will stay strictly confidential.


    You are also welcome to ask me any questions about the study at any time. You can contact me by email at dyeshuak@indiana.edu, on tumblr http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/sociotechy or by phone +1- 812-3204517.
