Week 8 - Drink Green Tea
I love green tea. That is to say I love the Arizona brand diet green tea. Zero calories. Which means it's sweetened with aspartame. I don't love aspartame. In one's quest to get healthier, one should probably leave out consuming large amounts of aspartame. So really, week eight is about drinking green tea without the artificial sweetener. Oh, but wait, I'm supposed to be cutting down on my sugar intake, too! Okay, so during week eight I tried unsweetened green tea.
Um...yeah, that didn't go over so well. Unsweetened green tea....well....it kinda reminded me of grass. Not that I have ever eaten grass but should I one day find myself trying grass, I can imagine what it will taste like.
So week eight was kind of a bust but I have not given up. I'm going to continue to try green tea in a variety of forms until I fall upon a taste combo I enjoy. Currently I'm loving the Arnold Palmer. This is a drink made up of half iced-tea and half lemonade. It is a DREAM!
Yes, I know, lemonade requires sugar and I need to cut back on my sugar. I'm getting there. I am. What I would like to do, but probably won't until I'm home in Arizona, is brew my own green tea and make my own home-made lemonade. That way, I'll have more control over the amount of sugar in my drink while enjoying the fact that I've made something fresh and natural, from scratch, in my own home.
You'll have to come over and we'll enjoy a glass or two by the pool. I just need to get a pool first.
Week 9 - Exercise
Well, let's just say that week 9 was a bust. I purchased two Jillian Michael's workout videos and fully intended on starting my new workout regime in week nine but that just flat-out didn't happen. Can I get a do-over? I can? Good! Here we go with week 10!
Week 10 - Start my Jillian Michael's Workouts!
It's Friday and I have yet to crack those babies open. LOL! Yeah, I know! I know! But, hey, the week's not over so I'm still good to go. My hubby even said he'd do them with me. Oh, I don't think it's a show of support, really. No, I think it's more of the fact that I spent 20 bucks and he doesn't want them just collecting dust.
So, with that, I'll be getting off the computer now and popping one of those dvds into the system and get this butt moving!
Just let me finish this Arnold Palmer first.
