Weekend Fun: Starbucks & Football

September 27, 2015 by Mary

Happy Sunday! Hope you are having a wonderful day full of the things you love. Turns out that is exactly what I’m doing today!

Football

I don’t know if you knew this, but blogging during football games is the best. A lazy Sunday afternoon spent blogging and watching football is just perfect. Especially since the Titans are winning!

This isn’t the first football game I’ve watched this week – I saw one in person too!

On Thursday night I attended the Memphis Tigers v Cincinnati Bearcats game. It was one of the most ridiculous games I’ve seen before for officiating (on both sides) and for injured players. It still ended up being a fun game and my team won so I left the stadium happy.

That game didn’t end until almost 11 pm so I’ve spent the weekend being sleep deprived. Catching up on sleep can be so hard!

Starbucks Coffee

Because of the lack of sleep I’ve been drinking a lot of coffee this weekend.

My mom and I grabbed coffee on Saturday morning before a bit of shopping for more baby showers coming up.

My normal Starbucks order is either and iced americano or a sugar free iced coffee. They are cheaper and less sugary which are both good things. However, I splurged and got a pumpkin spice frappuccino!

I didn’t know they made pumpkin spice cold drinks so it was a pleasant surprise to find out. I drink cold coffee drinks 95% of the time and will almost always choose a cold or frozen option over hot.

I chose this sugar coffee splurge because it’s the last weekend before going on a low carb style diet with my roommate. She recently did this for a cruise she went on and wanted to go back and I’ve been wanting to do the same since my AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge. Since a coffee like this isn’t low carb by a long shot it was a great last weekend splurge before we begin our low carb adventure.

So we are going to do it at the same time and aim to stick with it until at least Thanksgiving!

I’m sure I’ll write more about my meals and plans in the next few weeks but for now I’m going to finish watching this football game and enjoy how well my fantasy football team is doing this week! I have so many points!
