Menu Plan Monday over coffee

Back from visiting family and a mini-trip to San Antonio. Back to the real world. Back to Menu Plan Monday.

I am (we are?) going to try to make a better effort of losing weight. My 'fitness' goals did not happen. But I swear, I don't want to buy new clothes because they're too small. I want to buy new clothes because what I have is too big. I've downloaded some apps to my iphone. Fitocracy, Nike+ and 5K Runner which is probably wrong but it is the couch to 5K app. All free apps.

Bought some fruit today so I'll be adding that to what I eat. Apples, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Oh! And watermelon. I love fruit. I just hate having to prep it before I eat it. Ugh! First world problems - I have to wash my fruit and cut it and put it in a bowl before I eat it. The downside is that I've added coffee to my diet. Whooboy! I blame you, Jessica! I would blame Starbucks but that was only occasional because of the price. I usually only purchase because I have a gift card or I get a frapp which will probably be no longer happening. Who knows.

Coffee. Husband got himself a french press and a grinder a while back. When the weather was cold, he'd have that and I'd have a hot chocolate. I was never really into coffee. But since last weekend, I've had a kurig coffee, and regular ol pot coffee. I can totally tell a difference in the flavor of the coffee that Ryan made which is much richer and not watered down. I do kill it with sugar and cream though.

I got two awesome mugs while we were in San Antonio. A handmade pottery mug from Jus' Cuz Pottery and an Alamo mug. Nothing off the wall or BA but still pretty nifty. MUGS! My first year teaching, a student gave me a mug with some candy for Valentine's Day. I keep it at work. But now I will really use it for coffee - probably at work. I also have a vintage Strawberry Cupcake mug - but that's geared toward children. How can it be a coffee mug? Where did I get that? ... An old supervisor I think?

Tell me, what is your favorite coffee mug (or mugs) and how do you take your java?

Here's my awesome mug from Jus' Cuz. I take it with a lot of cream and two heaping teaspoons of sugar. Good morning!

So, what you all came for... The MPM!
