If you have been following me for awhile you know that I have not been running (that will be changing soon) because of PF. I have been doing stretches morning and night (well in all honesty I had recently only been doing them in the a.m. but was convinced today to resume the twice a day with throwing what stretches I can into other parts of my day.) Anyway I have been getting up about 30 minutes earlier to do these and I am not a morning person. BUT I have found them palatable for two reasons. One is West Wing which I watch as I am doing them. I am near the end of the 6 out of 7 seasons so at some point I will have to choose my next tv obsession. But that is only one part of the equation that makes these morning exercises not so bad. Here goes
Entertaining DVDs + Coffee = A Happily Stretching AJH at 5:30 a.m.
There's hazelnut, French vanilla, rain forest nut, caramel vanilla creme, mocha nut fudge and on and on. The last requirement which is actually as important as the flavor is that the coffee is steaming hot! No luke warm or reheated coffee for this coffee loving woman! It needs to be steaming hot right out of the pot!
When traveling I can't get my beloved GMC a Starbucks
with my girl works just fine!
Plus I am - ahem - not watching the weight quite so
closely when I visit Em and a "few" of
those higher calorie coffee drinks cross
my lips!

Ha! West Wing, I loved that show and watched every episode, I had completely forgotten about it until now. Happy to hear you are getting closer to running again!
I think I'm the only one on the planet who does not drink coffee. Bleh! Crossing fingers our treatment went well today :).
I wouldn't get up in the morning if there wasn't coffee in my world. ;o)
I love my coffee hot too but without any additional flavors and without sugar, just some milk or cream and I am happy.
Straight.Black.DARK.Coffee ~ my world at 5:30 AM. Love my beans, and loyal to local roasters but Starbucks is always consistent. Nothing worse than getting duped into a local coffee house and paying $$$ for Folgers - yuck. There you have it, I'm a coffee snob :)
S
I heart coffee, too! Seriously, I drink a pot at home all day, and if it's a particularly bad day - 2 pots!
All the Sbux around me know my drink - and there are few around! Is that bad? Hmmm...wonder where I can find some of that Green Mountain coffee...
Glad to hear running will make a return soon! Keep up the good work!
I am thankful for coffee every day.
Yay for coffee! I'm thankful for coffee as well. Getting up jut to stretch needs serious dedication. But if that is what will get you running again, no problem. DVD's + Coffee is definitely the way to do it!
Cheers to good coffee! I also enjoy my coffee in the morning:) I need it to function and I have my favorites that I switch up every few days. The only thing that sucks is that I don't like the cheap drinks.
Have a wonderful day and take care!
I am so very thankful for coffee. But I am a Dunkin Donuts girl all the way!
I love coffee after a workout too!
You know I love coffee too, GMC delivered to my house for my Kurig (best shower present ever). French Vanilla is my favorite, followed by Golden French Toast, Pumpkin Spice, Island Coconut,Vermont Country Blend. I could keep going. Love Starbucks too Peppermint Mocha Latte, is the best! In a pinch I can go for Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla, especially iced in the summer. And to think before I met Travis, I didn't drink coffee, now I'm an addict...
You are DEDICATED to be up early and stretching before work... I hope it all pays off!
You know, I have never been a coffee person. Sometimes I feel like I am missing out...
Congrats on getting up early to stretch. I'm glad it's working out for you. I, sadly, cannot stand to drink coffee. It makes me shake like an addict going through withdrawal. That's probably because I have to put so much cream and sugar in the cup to make it drinkable. So....I've stopped trying. I'll stick to tea and leave the coffee to those of you that love it. Enjoy :)
I love my coffee too! We have an espresso machine at home for a few years now and my coffee is the best compared to family and friend's coffee.
Can you believe we have only about 4 Starbucks here in Holland? I wish there were more, love it.
