Wouldn't it be awesome if we all just didn't want the chocolate and such! LOL Tand, I also recommend trying rooibos(redbush) and vanilla tea, it also counts towards your water intake and is most delicious!

Have a great day everyone.

But, as usual, I feel a MASSIVE sense of accomplishment when I make it through one of his classes. I just wish his teaching schedule was more convenient for me.

I'll go rectify on Facebook right now *rubs hands together* Tand, love your post about the wonders of green tea! I'm a huge water drinker but I'm finding it harder as well to keep my 2-3 litres per day up now it's getting so cold. It doesn't exactly motivate you. So I love the green tea idea. I've only just in the last month started drinking tea and happened to buy a nine-pack of green teas the other day from T2! (I also bought a nine-pack of herbal teas. I tend to go overboard sometimes.) So green tea it is! I need to go buy myself a thermos now. Exactly 10 weeks to go today til my USA trip and 6kg (13lbs) to go in that time... why doesn't that total seem to be shifting?! Keep up the good work everyone! Keep inspiring me!

Yesterday after once again taking my cute pink water bottle to work and then to run some errands I found myself looking at a 1/2 full bottle when I got home. I thought of smeds and chugged the rest of it. Labuda, the red iced tea is rooibos herbal tea (introduced to me by our own dear smedley It's becoming more popular, it often has vanilla with it. It has a bit of sweetness on it's own and makes a good iced tea. I've never found it premade so I make my own. We CAN do this!!!!

I'm thinking summer water weight or something, who knows and who cares as I'll take a loss any time You are my idol iamsally! BTW how are the goats? I'm serious.

Originally Posted By smedley you CAN do this amazed!! Keep chugging the water (I do worry that I am just some mean english voice in your head some days lol) I have been struggling too, but am determined to get back on track!
