That sounds delicious and definitely like dessert! The other ones sound good, too, but this one sounds really yummy. I think I'll just have to buy some and have it shipped because it'd be cheaper no matter what the shipping charges are. Do they have the nutrition information on the boxes?

Those teas sound spectacular! Are they in bags or loose leaf? I have to try the chocolate strawberry one.

It's loose leaf tea - NO calories!

I checked out their web site and placed an order. Here's what I got:

16 oz perfect tea maker

Mango Green Flavored and Scented Green Tea
Azteca Fire Herbal Tea
Coconut Aloha Flavored and Scented Black Tea

I can't wait!!! I love to relax with a cup of tea before bed and these sound so delicious.

Thanks for the awesome info!

You'll love the "Perfect Tea Maker" - I got one of them, too! Let me know how the coconut one is.....I may have to try that one next time!

I've never been much of a tea person but some of this stuff sounds good. How does it taste without being sweetened, though? Does the taste still come through? Or is it geared only towards a sweeter taste? I can't stand sweet tea at all. I do like good ol' lipton plain (unsweetened), I've just never experimented with the fancy stuff.

Sorry Diane - can't answer that one for ya - I use sweetner in my teas (Splenda) - I can, however, tell you that if it TASTES like it SMELLS when it's steeping, then you could probably get away without using any sweetner!

Yesterday's workout was


I did another classic Cathe workout - StepFit - 60 mins of fun (and some lovely unitard outfits!) Avg HR was 139.

Thanks! I might have to break down and just try some one of these days when I'm feeling brave.

If you happen to be anywhere near a store - they always have several different types to sample!

My bf just bought some of this tea, I think the caramel one in the first post on this page... he loves it! I have none of these stores near me but when I go to visit him in Philly I'm thinking of getting that chocolate strawberry one... those are my favorite dessert on the planet! So the tea must be good too, lol. Though the name is unfitting... "Azteca Fire"... it sounds like it would taste like one of those fireball red hot candies, lol...

I know what you mean, Kara! It certainly doesn't taste like the name sounds - maybe they are referring to the crushed chili pods (which you can NOT taste!)

Here are details from today's workout:

(All for 3x12's, 75 sec rest between supersets)
A1 Sumo Deadlift 100lbs
A2 DB Pullover on Swiss Ball 30 lbs
Wooohoooo - hit triple digits on the sumo!!!

B1 Side Lunges (no weight)
B2 Bent Over Row 70lbs

C1 Back Hyperextension on Ball
C2 Plank (1x95 secs, 1x70 secs, 1x65 secs)

Followed by Flexibility/Mobility work

I really need to work on my grip strength! The higher the weight on the deads, the crappier my grip is! I'm using alternating grips, too! DH also just got me some lifting straps, so I may use those next time.

I think I'm gonna feel those deadlifts tomorrow!!

[GinnyLou]

Yee haw! Nice numbers, Tracey!

I am also going to be ordering some tea. I've got some money wanting to be spent. Thanks for taking the time to break it down for us.

[missjane]

Nice triple on the deads!! I'm almost there, but not quite yet! You must be pumped having gotten there!

[Cynic]

Wow, you're doing really good Dilly. Congratulations!

I second that! And thank you so much for the tea information. I haven't decided what to order yet, but I am definitely getting a couple different kinds.

Nice workout girl! Makes me jealous!
