    I don't drink coffee because I can't stand the taste and the only tea I can stand the taste of is Chaga Tea...I haven't had any for about a year and decided to start making it again because it's so healthy :)esnca36ao2pe.jpg

    I've never heard of Chaga tea. It looks delicious!

    While I'm out 4-wheeling I look for Chaga on the Birch Trees...My husband and I chop it off and bring it home to be either ground up or chopped into chunks and then I steep it in water for an hour and then refrigerate it or you can drink it hot :)

    I pick wild rose hips and have made a tea from that and also pick wild elderberries and make juice and jam out of that (you must cook the elderberries) but I've never heard of Chaga.

    nice, we are in the 70's and there will be flooding due to rapid snow melt in the mountains. I'm worried about our fruit trees blooming then freezing.

    Oh no, I hope that doesn't happen

    Oh no I hope that doesn't happen, that would be such a loss :(

    My plum tree is about to bloom any day. Daffodills on the south side of the house are already in bloom. Last frost free day here (less than 50% chance of freezing is more than a month away still)

    Hopefully no freezing!!! The only tree I have is a Lilac tree and it's so beautiful and smells so good when in bloom, usually in May :)

    Thanks everyone :) This will be the first time that I've lost weight with a maintenance plan at the end, usually I would just go back to the same way I ate before and gain all the weight back and more...And yes Im handling the carbs well and this week Im adding in more not sure what yet but last week it was potatoes, peanut m&ms, chocolate almond nuggets and popcorn :p

    @1MADGIRL thanks :)

    So Im going to tell you all what a typical splurge day is like for me...

    Yesterday was this...
    1/4 of a turkey, cheese, and bacon Subway sandwich, 3/4 of a chinese meal (general tso's chicken, crab rangoons and broccoli), 1/2 of a chicken and bacon ranch pizza.

    Some Peanut M&Ms, fortune cookie, hot fudge sundae, doritos, sour cream and onion chips, smartfood popcorn, home baked chocolate chip cookies, mini peanut butter cups :p

    amazing haha
    I'm a sucker for fortune cookies... What did yours say? :)

    I need to plan a proper splurge day at some point. Instead I end up cheating on some days and call that my splurge day
