mmm Coffee...

Yep still sick. Sorry for the extra super boring light posting week here everybody, I know you tune in daily (multiple times a day even) to catch up on all the wonderful things going on in my life so this black hole of nothingness has got to be driving you crazy... at least I pop in now and then to link you to an entertaining news story or some such thing...

Todays random news story is one about loosing weight and getting a flat tummy. Not that I think y'all care about those things specifically but see in my quest to eat healthy and what not I have been working very hard to limit my intake of coffee to one cup a day. One cup, a splash of cream, and that's it. mmm coffee... there are even days I skip, yes I said skip, my cup!!

Well today I was reading that article I mentioned... one titled "5 Things Keeping You From a Flatter Stomach" and I came across this little gem:

"...there are tricks that help, too. Drinking coffee—when part of a weight-loss diet—may also trim the stomach slightly, and the caffeine may speed up the metabolism. Roberts suggests one to three cups of coffee a day..."

One to Three cups a day!! Really??!! *doing as energetic of a happy dance as the stuffy head and impaired balance will allow" ... Now, ahem, I'm off to read the rest of the article just to make sure they don't also tell us that eating great piles of chocolate is okay too.
