Thanks for joining me and Coco for the July 2024 Ultimate Coffee Date. These are always some of my favorite posts to read and to write. This week I am coming to you from somewhere in the Adriatic off the coast of Croatia. You will have to read my Weekly Run Down this weekend to see what I am up to. Grab your coffee mugs or “Kava” as they say in these parts and let’s get to it.
July 2024 Ultimate Coffee Date from the Adriatic
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I am currently somewhere in Croatia soaking in all that this gorgeous country has to offer. We just got here yesterday (depending on which time zone we are both in) so check out my IG the next week for all the details on our travels. This is our first time exploring this area and we can’t wait.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I would tell you I am still doing my wordle everyday. My husband and I continue to have quite the daily competition going on. I would ask you if you were ever an wordle fan and if you still are? Do you (gently) compete with your spouse, partner or friends?
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I continue to crave more structure with my workouts and I am finding new Peloton programs to complete every month. The structure of the split strength programs seem to hit my sweet spot of providing challenges, pushing me to push myself and offer tons of variety. There is no better feeling than waking up and looking forward to the day’s workout ahead.
I’m taking this coffee mug on the run to do some more sightseeing. If we were having coffee today, what would you tell me?
Farrah says
Ahh, I hope you’re having a ton of fun out there! Will be heading over to your IG to check out your travels. :] I’ve never been to Croatia!
Deborah Brooks says
Our first time too and it’s really beautiful
Wendy says
Yes, I am still doing the Wordle daily along with several of the other games. So addicting! Don’t you think the Wordle has gotten more difficult?
Have an amazing trip! I see quite a few patients from that area of the world and I’d love to travel there!
Deborah Brooks says
I don’t know if it has gotten harder or some days I am just off! I do like it as part of my daily routine
Kimberly Hatting says
Yes, Wordle continues to be a daily addiction. I do the 5-letter & 6-letter versions. I also like the Pelo split programs…they are a great use of time and the workouts are tough! Enjoy your trip!
Deborah Brooks says
The split programs are so well designed and keep me motivated
Marcia says
Have a wonderful trip! We’ve been to Croatia 3 times and it is fantastic! Go see the Blue Caves in Montenegro if you have a chance. Yes I’ve been doing the Wordle for years and my daughter does as well. It’s fun!
Deborah Brooks says
WE won’t be near Montenegro this time unfortunately! So far so good
Jenny says
I’ve never been to Croatia but I know it’s beautiful. I can’t wait to hear details!
My workouts definitely need more structure- especially my strength training. I’m making specific goals for the rest of the summer rather than just vaguely “doing strength 2-3x a week.” I agree those Peloton programs sound good- too bad I quit Peloton, ha.
Deborah Brooks says
Specific goals work well for me too. Not sure my comment went through on your blog this time. I did say, be glad you don’t live in DC or have a husband in politics bc it is beyond crazy right now 🙂
Catrina says
My father, my sister and I have a daily Wordle battle. My Dad is usually first in the morning and then gives us tips. The challenge is then to get it in one with the help of Dad’s tips… It’s hilarious.
Enjoy Croatia – I hope it isn’t too hot!
Deborah Brooks says
I love the family Wordle challenge! It is not too hot so far thankfully
Michelle says
We’ve had a good family Wordle battle going for a while.
I have heard that Croatia is beautiful. Enjoy your trip and I look forward to seeing your photos.
Deborah Brooks says
It is a beautiful country so far!
Coco says
Your trip looks amazing already!
I dip in and out of Wordle. I like Connections too. I usually do a crossword puzzle first and then the others if I’m not too tired. My husband doesn’t do games so there’s no competition there.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes, it has been amazing so far and very relaxing
Renée says
Nice Deborah! I love Croatia <3
Deborah Brooks says
It is a beautiful country!
Debbie says
I’m enjoying your pictures on IG from Croatia. I looks like you’re having a fabulous time!
Deborah Brooks says
we are having a lovely time so far!
Zenaida Arroyo says
Enjoy your time in Croatia. That photo looks like a postcard. I may be the only one that doesn’t get into Wordle. 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Definitely enjoying Croatia! Wordle is a fun daily challenge
Jenn says
I hope you are having a wonderful time! I do love Wordle, and Connections, and Strands. But I sometimes forget to play, so I break my streak, and then I get mad.
Have the best vacation – you know we can’t wait to hear all about it!
Deborah Brooks says
I hate it when I forget to play and ruin my streak too!
