Hi. My name is Scott (Schroeder) and I am addicted to frappuccinos. It has been approximately 26 hours since I last had a frappuccino. As I try and slim down my much over-fed figure, I have decided to confront my addiction and attempt to eliminate those delicious frappuccinos that I rush to consume on a daily basis. Certainly no easy task as their taste alone has me buzzed from the first sip, not even mentioning the presumed energy burst that is delivered through the caffeine contents. Regardless, I am making an effort to reduce these daily caffeine dessert treats, each weighing in at approximately $5 and 400 calories a pop.
And, to note, it’s not the caffeine that I am necessarily casting judgment on (as I still plan to continue sipping on a substantial amount of tea) for, similar to Ted Murphy’s comment in his diet-inspiring post, Fat Kid Needs to Get in Shape, it’s not the caffeine that is truly bad, it’s the (fat and calorie bearing) additives that we consume along with our caffeine that are truly bad. For Ted, it’s vanilla latte; for me, it’s mocha or cafe vanilla frappuccino. In addition to weaning off of these deliciously convenient blended coffees, I am also trying to get back into a more healthy eating and exercise schedule - I’ll keep it posted! One day at a time, people

Forget the fat, just open my veins and pour in the caffeine.
I get a cuppa before the cats (sorry, no dogs) get their tuna. Truly addictive, that.
Got to your blog via the ProBlogger 140. 35 blogs? Oh my. I feel virtuous even getting a post or two up on mine during the day. Peace. G.
Hey there welcome Grace!
Thanks kindly for passing by and taking the time to leave a reply. LOL, I hear that, sometimes that caffeine is in high demand, specifically after a long night of work!
The funny thing is, I really never used to drink coffee; kind of ramped up on it the past couple of months with the convenient starbucks (and coffeee bean/ peete’s coffee) stores all about my neighborhood.
Great to hear you got pets, too, cats are definitely cool with me, especially the nice ones who purr a lot - I’m a sucker for that purr sound
And, yeah, the 35 blogs has been a long time coming and has been drastically reduced down to 2 blogs (at the moment). Now-a-days, I’m like you and feel lucky to get a post up every couple of days on just this site. Thanks again for strolling through,Grace, hopefully we’ll cross paths again!
