Katie: Could you please, please remind me how you calculate your activity points? I can't remember the calculation. How does 743 calories turn into 10 activity points. It's the piece I am missing. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where I got this information (it's been a long time!) but this is how I've always calculated my AP's by calories burned. I take the calories burned (743) and divide by 80, which is 9.2875. Then I round that number UP to the next whole number (10). That's how I come up with 10 :)
DeleteI have the same tea problem....I have too many at work and more than fits in a large cabinet at home. I just cant pass up new flavors and even if I don't love them I cant get rid of them incase I am in the mood for it or a guest wants that flavor. THEN I had a friend buy me the tea of the month club from Teavana last year LOL. I have twice cleaned out the cabinet and had to trow out tea that was expired. I think I need to follow your lead and just drink until I am out!! And I do blame my love for Davids tea on you :)
ReplyDeleteI've thought about organizing some sort of tea exchange for ones we don't like, but that seems like it would be a lot of work. I love that they send you samples to try, though (even though it just leads to ordering even more, haha!)
DeleteKatie have you ever tried or ordered from The Tea Guys? They are an East coast company. I actually prefer their teas to Teavana or David's. David's Tea I find has a chemical taste, but maybe that is my weird palate. Tea Guys have this maple bourbon tea that tastes almost exactly like egg nog when you put a splash of milk in it. So good!
ReplyDeleteI haven't, but Ellen from Fat Girl Wearing Thin told me about them. I tried one of the teas that Ellen sent me, but I wasn't crazy about it. I think I'll browse their flavors and give them a try (when I finally use up what I have, of course)!
DeleteI've tried a lot of those flavors since your recommended them in the past and I would have to say that these are my favorite!

If the caramel one is the one I'm thinking of, I think it had a "fake" flavor. But maybe I didn't have that one and I'm thinking of something else. I'm glad you recommended these because I love them and wouldn't have known which ones to try otherwise! Thanks!
I wasn't crazy about the Salted Caramel the first time I tried it, but I got hooked on it, and now it's a favorite. Maybe give it another try? I'm glad you like the ones I recommended!
DeleteThese all sounds so good. I am going off of soda pop and it's finally getting cool enough here in Tucson that something warm sounds good. I also want to say what an inspiration you are. I'm just starting out and it's daunting, but it is refreshing to see that it can be done.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Tea is a GREAT way to get off of soda. I started drinking it to have a different habit at night (opposed to eating everything in sight!). I was never a tea drinker until a couple of years ago, and now I love it.
DeletePlease tell me that isn't craft 2000 going out of business :(
ReplyDeleteIt is Crafts 2000. But they've changed their name and moved to the mall. They are now Pat Catan's.
