CHCHCHANGES

How easy it is to make small changes.  I used to love my lattes in the morning.  It was really my favorite food of the day.  I would wake up and the first thing I would think about is my latte.  Just the complete relaxation of that cup while I read the internet or played games.

Sometimes it was just so good I had to have two.  And my beloved husband would make the second one and stick it in the fridge until I was ready for it.  It was heaven.  Lattes, delicious and relaxing.  Can't get any better than that.

Now all I think about in the morning is my tea.  I can't wait it is the first thing I think of when I wake up.  I sometimes even have two cups.  I love sitting at my desk drinking my tea.

Tea/coffee in the morning - same thing, except tea 0 calories, latte 250 calories.  That is almost two products.  Two of those babies is 500 calories on a 1200 calorie diet that is about 40% of my allowable calories.

I am thinking not drinking lattes again.  I miss my lattes, and tea, well I look forward to it, it just isn't the same, but I don't think at least for a few years I can afford to have 250 calorie drink and then eat food on top of that.  And just having a latte doesn't quite fill me up.  It is the first change of many I am thinking.

  1. I got hooked on having whipped cream on my coffee. I wonder how that happened?😉 Now I drink it plain. Boring. What kind of tea are you drinking? Donna gets a discount at Teavana (loose tea). She has been drinking it for years. Let me know!🌞💜

  2. Tea and pretty tea pots and cups certainly are a fun thing to do. I love to have tea in the morning with a pretty cup. We could have fun purchasing tea pots.

  3. How many calories in a skinny latte with nonfat milk? The maker of lattes is flexible & has now become the "maker of tea" (thank you Durf for the electric waterpot).
