So Far

               It has been about a week since I started drinking the Dr. Oz recommended Ayurvedic weight management tea concoction. And I am not sure if I have lost any weight. Mostly because I have not bothered to purchase a scale. (I did not say so before, but I am 5’5”, 155lbs and I would like very much to lose about 20lbs.) I have only my cool faux leather pants that I bought from H & M that I am determined to fit into properly to gage my progress by. Unfortunately, I have also just realized that I have little luck with remembering to do things like make my tea in the morning so I can sip on it all day. So oftentimes I am drinking my tea right around bedtime and I don’t think that I’m supposed to do it that way.
              
            I have some good news. For me, anyway. You may not care, or you may be going fan girl on me. I don’t know. But if you’re reading my blog, you may care at least a little bit. First off… I finally got a 12 hour thermos. It keeps hot drinks hot, like my tea, for 12 hours. And cold drink cold for 24 hours. I tried it out. I put hot tea in at 0900 (that’s 9 am or 9 in the morning for you civilians.) What was left at 2100 (9pm…) was still warm. Not burn your lip warm like MOST of the day, but pleasantly warm. The kind of warm you want your warm tea to be. The kind of warm that won’t burn the back of your throat if you want to chug it, which I like to do right before bedtime to drink it!
              
            Another tidbit of happiness that actually might apply to your immediate needs or interests. The tea tastes really, really, good with honey. I want to try it with lemon, but I didn’t have any today. But, oh my God, what a difference the honey makes! Without the honey, the taste of the warm tea is similar to the taste of cardboard. Bland enough to tough through. But the honey makes it taste more like actual tea. I think that this may actually make me more likely to make and drink my tea every day.
