Oh hey - notice something a little different? :) While my old layout wasn't bad, black wasn't exactly the most chipper color. I <3 purple, and so I present to you a new layout. I hope you find it a little more refreshing/inviting.
It's time for me to think about what I want to work on for the month of September.
- Have an average of 4 days of activity per week instead of the 3 that I had for August.
- Track what I did for activity, how often I did it, and for how long.
- Track the days that I've stayed On Plan.
- Add 2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables into my daily menu. This is up from August's goal of just 1 serving of fruit and vegetables per day.
- Continue on with the New Rules of Lifting for Women.
- Continue reading The Beck Diet Solution.
- Set a weekly goal for myself that I will determine on Monday's. Thanks Ryan!
I am a lover of tea. In case you haven't figured it out yet, my favorite tea variety is the chai. I particularly like the spiced chai flavor. Now, I frequent Starbucks a lot, and they serve a chai that is a liquid version. I love this chai, but I don't love the 7 Points+ value for a venti skim. While I can almost afford those Points+ now, I know I won't be able to as time goes on. Still, I like the liquid chai for it's creaminess, a consistency I cannot seem to achieve using just half and half and chai tea bags. Until now!
Enter: Coffeehouse Chai Latte. This is yet another recipe from Eat What You Love. I'm not sure how/why this tea tastes so great but perhaps you can figure it out by the ingredients:
- 1/2 c. fat free evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 c. water
- 3 packets of Sweet 'n Low
- 2 individual chai tea bags
- 1 tsp honey
Combine the evaporated milk, water and Sweet 'n Low packets together in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently, so as not to scorch the milk. As the liquid begins to simmer, add the tea bags and allow to steep for 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Remove tea bags from liquid. Add the honey.
This is supposed to make 2 servings at 1 cup each. This entire concoction makes just 1 for me :). This delicious chai only costs me 4 Points+, as opposed to the 7 from the Starbucks version. Winning!
