I’ve never really been a huge tea drinker.
When it comes to getting my caffeine fix, or the comfort of a warm beverage, I almost always reach for coffee (or hot cocoa coffee).
That being said, I just may have found a tea to make me change my mind…
A couple weeks ago, I picked up this box of Bigelow White Chocolate Kisses tea, solely based on the fact that the box looked pretty and it had the word “chocolate” in it. 
But no matter what my reasons, I’m so glad I did because I am really enjoying sipping on this stuff right now. YUMM!
Perhaps my problem is that I just haven’t found my “Tea Identity?”
Are you a tea drinker? What teas do you like?

Rewind to bright and early this morning, and I will tell you that I started my Tuesday with a fantastic workout!
- Jillian Michael’s 6 Week Six-Pack Abs
- 2 mile run (17:43)
You know, I may not enjoy getting up at 5:30am, but I sure do love having my workout done for the day by 6:30am!
Breakfast
There was no waiting until I got to work for today’s breakfast…I was famished after my workout!
Hip-Hip-HOORAY for OIAJ!
In the jar:
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/3 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 mashed banana
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Blueberries (>1/2 cup)
- Cinnamon
Mixed together and thrown in the fridge last night…all ready to go today. 
Pre- & post- granola adage…
With my mug-o-joe, of course.
Speaking of my mug…
I’ve actually had quite a few readers ask about this little guy!
I will tell you that if you’re in the market for purchasing a new one, this is phenomenal. I leave my house around 8:00am every day, and slowly sip on my coffee throughout the entire morning. At 11:00am, my coffee is still warm. That’s how insulated this bad boy is!
The mug actually comes in a set of 2, and can be found on QVC by clicking the link below:
Set of 2 Vacuum Insulated Autoseal 16oz. Elite Travel Tumblers
I would definitely recommend this in a heartbeat…and since it comes in a set of two, then you could always give one as a thoughtful gift! That’s actually how I got mine.

Lunch
Oh, how I love me some leftovers.
After last night’s chicken dinner, I put together a salad using the rest of my piece of chicken, romaine, grape tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, dried cranberries, and fat-free feta cheese crumbles.
To “dress it up,” I mixed up some balsamic vinegar with a drizzle of EVOO and a sprinkle of rosemary garlic bread dip seasoning that I have. I really like making my own vinaigrettes like that, since I get to control how much of everything goes into it.
On the side, some Kashi crack crackers.

Tonight, Jay and I have plans for a mid-week Date Night at the movies.
I’m thinking we’re going to go see No Strings Attached, since it looks pretty cute, and any other movies I wanted to see originally have gotten terrible reviews (i.e., The Roomate, Sanctum..)
We have a gift card from Christmas AND Tuesday’s are Free Popcorn Day at our theater, so I’m thinking it’s going to be a good night!
Question for the Evening:
Do you ever schedule special nights out during the week, or do you save them for the weekend?
