Love the first week of this diet when the weight comes off so fast...down 8.8 pounds in 6 days! Just realized when I looked at my ticker that I am only about 14 or 15 pounds from my goal of 165 which has seemed like a goal I would never reach. I was planning to do at least 4 weeks this round so hopefully I can lose 5 pounds a week for the next three weeks! It's those last couple of weeks where I usually start getting tired of the food and I have to watch myself or I will start adding wine back in and slow my losses....

Yesterday I was at Barnes & Noble at the Starbucks and they carry some tea called Harney & Sons. Tried their most popular tea called Hot Cinnamon Spice tea..amazing!!!!! If you like the taste of cinnamon/Red Hots candy then you will love this tea. I could actually smell the cinnamon from behind the counter when they were putting the water in the cup. I bought this tea plus some others that are pretty good...a green tea with coconut, ginger and vanilla and a tea called African Autumn that tastes a lot like spiced tea. There is also a really popular tea I'm going to order online today called Paris which is described as 'fruity black tea with vanilla and caramel flavors, and a hint of lemony Bergamot'. I drink tea anytime I'm feeling hungry and I was so excited to find some new really good teas!
